0.85 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.85 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire measures 6.23 by 5.03 by 3.32 millimeters, it is cut as a mixed brilliant cut to maximize light return, and it presents a medium intense color that sits beautifully between deep teal and verdant blue. The clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that confirms the stone is truly natural and untreated, and the polish is excellent which gives the pavilion and crown crisp facet reflections. Sourced from Madagascar, and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire arrives with no enhancement, a feature that immediately sets it apart from the many heat treated stones on the market. The cushion shape offers a classic silhouette that reads elegant in both vintage and contemporary settings, while the mixed brilliant cut preserves carat weight and yields a lively sparkle that complements the gems deeper bluish green tones.

When compared with other sapphires commonly available, this Madagascan gem has advantages in authenticity, color intrigue, and versatility. Many sapphires labeled as vivid or deep include heat treatment to intensify color, and while that process can produce attractive results, it also alters the stone in ways that matter to collectors and those buying for longevity. This sapphire arrives untouched, its medium intense color developed naturally during formation, which means buyers receive an honest gem that requires no special disclosure. In terms of color, the bluish green hue is rarer than pure cornflower blue or classic royal blue, and it offers a unique visual versatility that pairs exceptionally well with fluorine and plant inspired styling. The slightly included clarity grade is common for natural sapphires of this type, and those small natural inclusions can deepen the perceived color, create character under different lighting conditions, and act as positive identifiers of the stones origin and natural state. The excellent polish and the precision of the mixed brilliant cut give this gem a finished beauty that often surpasses more heavily treated or poorly finished stones of similar size, which makes it a compelling value for someone seeking both quality and distinction.

There is a romantic story woven into the very tone and internal landscape of this bluish green sapphire, a story that makes it an ideal choice for an engagement jewel or a meaningful gift to commemorate a life event. Imagine a letter written at dusk, the ink reflecting a seam between ocean and forest, the page catching a color that is neither only sea nor only leaf. The gemstones soft bluish green is like that twilight ribbon where love is still waking and memories are already taking root, the slight inclusions are like tiny held breaths, like secret notes hidden behind the locket of a long walk. A hand adorned with this gem will recall moonlight on water and the hush under tree boughs, the mood of quiet confidence that forms between two people who have found a shared harbor. At The Natural Sapphire Company we see these stones as more than measures of chemistry and light, we see them as anchors for personal stories, and because this sapphire is unenhanced and responsibly sourced from Madagascar, that story feels true and unmanufactured, it is a romance that began in the earth and arrives at your jeweler ready to become part of your life.

For practical considerations when choosing a setting, the cushion shape and the measured proportions allow the stone to read slightly larger on the finger than its carat weight might suggest, and its mixed brilliant cut concentrates flashes of light for lively movement when worn.
