0.62 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

Cradled like a secret tide in a jeweler s palms, this delicate 0.62 carat round bluish green sapphire from Madagascar moves with the hush of early morning sea glass, its mixed brilliant cut throwing light like a thousand scattered memories, its dimensions of 4.63 x 4.63 x 3.64 mm framing a world in miniature, transparent and luminous. The medium color intensity gives this gem a soft, living depth that feels neither loud nor withdrawn, a whisper of color that changes with each tilt, sometimes leaning toward the cool blue of a moonlit lagoon, sometimes toward the fresh green of a forest pond. Slightly included at eye level, it bears the tiny signatures of its formation like a map of time, inclusions that are not flaws but fingerprints from the earth, reminders that this stone has a story as rich as the skin of a sailor or the bark of an old tree. Excellent polish amplifies every facet and breathes modern brilliance into this natural heart, while the careful, professional heat treatment enriches the hue in ways that honor both the gem and the light that will always seek it out.

If you close your eyes and imagine the great sources of sapphires, this Malagasy treasure sits in a gentle, luminous place between them. It does not wear the deep, velvety cornflower blue of a Kashmir sapphire, which feels like twilight velvet and regal secrecy, nor does it mirror entirely the bright, sky clear blue of a classic Ceylon stone from Sri Lanka, which is vivid and singing. Instead, its bluish green tone calls to mind the softer teal stones of Montana, where American sapphires catch the wild mountain lakes and whisper of open horizons, and it shares the parti like versatility often seen in other Madagascar stones that shift and surprise. Compared to Australian sapphires that lean toward darker, inky seas, this gem is a gentler, more romantic tide, and when placed beside a Paraiba tourmaline or a Colombian emerald the differences become poetry, the sapphire offering a cool, oceanic breath where the tourmaline pulses neon and the emerald sings full green. The result is a unique voice among famous places, a stone that feels like a crossroads of seas and forests, at once familiar to connoisseurs and singularly Malagasy in its temperament.

Worn against skin this 0.62 carat round becomes a quiet companion, small enough to be intimate, large enough to be seen and admired, its mixed brilliant cut catching candlelight and noon light with equal hunger, its excellent polish making every facet a window into its soul. The slightly included clarity is honest and human and will become part of the personal lore it gathers as it travels from hand to heart, each inclusion a tiny star in a private firmament. Heat treatment, a time honored practice, has coaxed the best from this stone while preserving its natural voice, much as a sculptor might coax form from marble without losing the stone s own pulse. Originating in Madagascar, one of the modern havens of sapphire variety, this gem carries the island s capacity for surprise, its ability to produce sapphires that straddle the blues and greens like sunlight on shallow reefs, a quality that collectors and romantics alike find irresistible.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish stones for the stories they keep and the promises they quietly make, and this bluish green Madagascar sapphire is a poem in mineral form, ready to be set into an engagement ring that speaks of oceans and forests, or into a pendant that will hang like a private map of memory. The dimensions and weight make it ideal for delicate, elegant settings where its mixed brilliant cut can shine unimpeded, and our recommendation is to choose a mounting that lets light enter freely so that the medium intensity hue can perform its subtle, changing magic. For those who seek a sapphire that is neither the classic Kashmir blue nor the bright Ceylon blue, but something that breathes with the color of tide pools and moonlit moss, this gem offers an invitation, a soft and certain yes, a treasure from Madagascar delivered with care by The Natural Sapphire Company.
