0.68 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This exceptionally transparent 0.68 carat pear shape greenish blue sapphire is a refined example of natural beauty and gemological quality, with dimensions of 6.22 x 5.06 x 3.00 mm, a faceted mixed brilliant cut that combines precision pavilion faceting with a brilliant crown to maximize light return, a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity that presents a lively blend of blue with green undertones, and an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and facet contrast. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, sourced from Madagascar, a region now recognized for producing an evolving range of fine sapphires with attractive natural colors. For an educated buyer, the combination of vivid hue, transparency, and a very slightly included clarity at eye level signals a stone that balances visual impact with natural character, while the mixed brilliant cutting style is specifically chosen to increase brilliance and scintillation in a smaller carat weight, making efficient use of the 0.68 carat size. The corundum hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale ensures durability for everyday wear, especially when set in protective or low profile settings, and the excellent polish supports crisp facet reflections which are critical for perceived quality and resale value.

As a gift, this pear shaped greenish blue sapphire makes a striking and meaningful choice for someone special, the elegant teardrop silhouette flatters a variety of settings and finger sizes, and its vivid, natural color offers a unique alternative to more common blue tones. Whether presented as a solitaire ring, a pendant, or a bespoke commission, the combination of natural Madagascar origin, untreated status, and eye level clarity makes this gem a memorable token that communicates thoughtfulness and refined taste. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparency in origin and treatment, and this sapphire exemplifies our commitment to sourcing fine, natural stones with clear, verifiable attributes. For a buyer who values geology, craftsmanship, and longevity, this gem is an excellent choice, a wearable piece of natural history that will be cherished for a lifetime.
