0.57 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

Born deep in the mineral-rich soils of Madagascar, this 0.57 carat heart shaped bluish green sapphire tells a story that begins long before it reached a jeweler's bench. Carved from a crystal formed under ancient heat and pressure, its subtle fusion of blue and green is a rare expression among sapphires, a colorway that appears far less frequently than pure blue or pure green material. Miners working in remote alluvial deposits first discovered the rough, and expert cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company then set about revealing its inner life, preserving the gem's natural transparency and medium intense color. With dimensions of 4.64 x 4.92 x 3.39 mm, and a mixed brilliant cut that balances sparkle and depth, this stone is a study in proportion. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, it offers exceptional clarity for its size, and with an excellent polish and no enhancement, it remains entirely natural, a quality that significantly increases its rarity compared to many treated or clarity enhanced alternatives.

The journey from rough to the final heart motif required precise planning and artisanal skill, the cutter orienting facets to maximize fire and to showcase the bluish green hue from multiple angles. Heart shapes of this carat weight combined with this exact color saturation are seldom seen in the marketplace, making this sapphire distinct among peers that are either larger but heat treated, or similarly sized but lacking the same color intensity. As a seller and gemstone specialist at The Natural Sapphire Company, I often compare stones by more than metrics alone, and this gem stands out for its natural origin, untouched enhancement, and unusually balanced tone. The heart shape carries cultural resonance as a symbol of devotion, and paired with such transparent clarity and a meticulous mixed brilliant cut, it is especially well suited for an intimate ring or a delicate pendant designed to become an heirloom. For collectors and romantics who value authenticity and scarcity, this Madagascar sapphire represents a rare convergence of size, color, cut, and provenance, a gem that is as honest in origin as it is luminous in display, and I would be delighted to help you explore how this stone can be set to honor its story.
