0.68 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the mossy riverbeds of Madagascar where light filters through dense canopy and ancient stones wait patiently beneath the soil, this sapphire began its long journey. Formed over millions of years under heat and pressure, the gem emerged with a rare bluish green hue that recalls the meeting of ocean and forest, a color that shifts gently between sea glass and deep lagoon. We present a transparent 0.68 carat oval sapphire, with dimensions of 5.90 x 4.22 x 3.15 mm, an oval shape that carries a soft elegance, and a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade reads very very slightly included, a level of inclusion that leaves the stone visually clean while preserving the small natural signatures that tell of its origin. The gem displays a medium intense color intensity, an excellent polish, and it has been enhanced by heat treatment to bring forward its true soul, a process performed to stabilize and reveal the depth of tone that nature intended. When you hold this gem, you hold a fragment of Madagascar, and you hold the careful stewardship of The Natural Sapphire Company.

The transformation from rough crystal to the finished sapphire required patient craftsmanship and thoughtful choices, a conversation between cutter and stone. Our cutters examined the original rough, listening to the directions the crystal wanted to take, and chose a mixed brilliant cut to maximize both internal play and surface reflection, to allow the bluish green color to bloom under all light. The oval outline was selected to lengthen the gaze and to make the color appear more continuous, while precise faceting and an excellent polish champion the gem to its full brilliance. The very very slightly included clarity grade speaks to the gem having preserved microscopic features that are like tiny fingerprints from the earth, they are not distractions, they are the signatures of a life underground. Heat treatment was applied with care to intensify the tone in a way that honors the stone, and our finishing techniques concentrated on symmetry and polish so that each facet returns light with lyrical motion. From the mine to the lapidary, from Madagascar to the final catalog image, The Natural Sapphire Company ensures traceability and responsible sourcing, and in our hands the sapphire is more than a commodity, it is a companion shaped by history and human care.

Romance lives in the color of this sapphire, in the bluish green that seems to hold a twilight tide, a memory of sea foam under moonlight and the hush of rainforest evenings. Imagine a promise whispered beside a secluded shore, a ring set with this oval sapphire at its heart, the stone reflecting green like new leaves and blue like distant water, a color that invites stories rather than demanding one fixed meaning. The very very slightly included clarity becomes part of that story, those tiny internal signatures like soft constellations that remind two people that beauty is never flawless, and that affection deepens when imperfections are held and cherished. In low candlelight the mixed brilliant cut catches and returns light in small constellations, in daylight the medium intense color reads as a serene and confident presence, and when the gem warms against the skin its polish reveals a surface as smooth as a promise kept. For lovers of subtlety and of character, this sapphire is an ideal heart, modest in carat weight at 0.68 carat yet rich in personality and provenance. When you choose a sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you choose a narrative, you choose a gem with a known origin and a crafted destiny, and you choose an heirloom that will carry the echoes of Madagascar, the care of master cutters, and the quiet romance of bluish green light for generations to come.
