0.78 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

From the moment this sapphire first caught the light deep in the alluvial gravels of Madagascar, it began a quiet journey from earth to elegance. Carved by time and pressure into a transparent crystal, it was selected by skilled hands for its intense blue hue and natural clarity. At 0.78 carat, this pear shape sapphire carries a presence that belies its compact dimensions, measuring 6.89 by 4.66 by 2.79 mm, and it retains a purity of tone that is rare in stones of this size. Untreated and unenhanced, the gem presents exactly as the land gave it, with no heat treatment or filling to alter its character, a feature that makes its color and natural provenance immediately compelling. The origin in Madagascar is more than a point on a map, it is a chapter in the stone s history, where artisanal miners and local traditions converge to reveal crystals that reflect the island s unique geology.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we took that rough promise and refined it with respect and precision. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to maximize the sapphire s internal fire while preserving weight and the stone s distinct pear silhouette. The result is a gem with an excellent polish and a faceting pattern that plays with light, giving a lively but controlled scintillation across the surface. Our clarity assessment notes the stone as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a hallmark of natural origin that adds character without compromising brilliance. The 0.78 carat weight is a defining attribute here, it signals premium quality because it balances portability with visual impact, offering a meaningful presence in a ring, pendant, or as the centerpiece of bespoke jewelry. The measured proportions and thoughtful cutting preserve the intensity of color and ensure the stone sits comfortably within classic and contemporary settings alike.

This sapphire is not only a jewel, it is a story you can wear, a connection to Madagascar and to the craft that transformed a hidden crystal into a polished treasure. Its transparent clarity, intense color intensity, and uncompromised, no enhancement status make it a confident choice for collectors and for those seeking a genuine, ethically sourced gem. If you are seeking a sapphire that speaks of place, of careful selection, and of refined cutting, this 0.78 carat pear shape from The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to begin the next chapter of its journey with you.
