0.79 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

Deep beneath the linen green canopy of Madagascar, where the island exhales a scent of rain and resin, this sapphire first found its voice. Formed over millions of years as the planet's slow fires cooled and mineral-rich waters threaded through fractures in ancient rock, the crystal grew with patient intention. Its bluish green hue was painted by traces of iron and small, elemental conversations with its host stone, a color that carries both the depth of tropical lagoon and the hush of mossy forest. When our team followed the trail of local knowledge and careful, respectful mining practices to the place of origin, we were met by hands and stories that belong to the land, and in that exchange the rough sapphire became part of a greater narrative. The Natural Sapphire Company brings this single gem from Madagascar to you with the same reverence with which it was recovered, a jewel that remembers the rain, the reef, and the quiet geometry of the earth that made it possible.

The transformation from rough to refined took place with the kind of attention that honors the gem's heritage. Cut into a cushion shape and faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, this stone measures 5.06 x 4.68 x 3.43 mm and weighs 0.79 carat, a size proportioned to catch and hold the eye. The mixed brilliant arrangement was chosen to balance color and fire, to allow the bluish green color to glow without sacrificing scintillation. Transparent and showing a medium intense color intensity, the sapphire responds to light with a soft, liquid brilliance, each facet tuned to enhance both depth and sparkle. An excellent polish gives the surface a mirror finish, so that the stone reads as glassy and alive against skin, and the cushion silhouette offers timeless elegance with modern versatility. Whether set in a delicate ring or a pendant, this gem was cut to echo the movements of water and leaf, to speak to the wearer in shifts of blue green as the light changes.

There is tenderness in the stone's slight inclusions, clarity grade slightly included evaluated at eye level, details that tell of its passage through time and pressure. Rather than detracting, these inclusions are like faint fingerprints of the earth, delicate inscriptions that make this gem unmistakably itself. A thoughtful heat treated enhancement was applied to stabilize and gently bring forward the sapphire's innate color, a common and accepted practice that respects the crystal's natural potential while preserving its story. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are meticulous about transparency, sharing this information so you may understand the gemstone fully. Inclusions offer more than provenance, they offer character, a reminder that perfection can be an absence of memory, while beauty is often the presence of history. The balance of clarity and color in this stone was carefully considered during cutting, allowing the slightly included clarity to play with the mixed brilliant facets and release light in a way that feels warm, intimate, and very human.

When you hold this cushion shape bluish green sapphire, you hold a journey that began in Madagascar and passed through skilled hands to become a companion for important moments. Imagine the gem set against a palm, cupped into a setting that allows air and light to touch its back, teasing out flashes of ocean blue and fern green with every turn. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to consider how this 0.79 carat transparent treasure will become part of your own story, carried forward into celebrations, quiet mornings, and vows. We can guide you through setting options that honor the sapphire's proportions and personality, and provide the same attentive service that accompanied its discovery. This gem is not only an object of beauty, it is a small archive of place and process, a piece of Madagascar made wearable, a reminder that true romance is rooted in origin, crafted with care, and shared with honesty.
