0.89 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 0.89 carat bluish green sapphire presents a refined combination of size, color, and finish. The stone is cut in a fancy outline with mixed brilliant faceting, and measures 5.42 by 5.40 by 3.70 millimeters, yielding a depth of approximately 68 percent relative to the average diameter. The near-equal length and width create a nearly square silhouette that sits comfortably in compact ring settings or as a delicate pendant focal. Color is described as medium intense bluish green, showing a stable and evenly distributed saturation across the table and crown. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minor internal characteristics that do not interfere with the gem’s visual appeal or light performance in typical viewing conditions. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and clean reflections. There has been no enhancement to this material; the color and clarity are natural, and the sapphire originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing a wide range of attractive, untreated corundum specimens. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this sapphire as an example of an untreated, well-finished gem suitable for both wearable and collector purposes.

From a gemological and practical standpoint this sapphire benefits from the properties inherent to corundum. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, it is highly resistant to abrasion and suitable for daily wear when properly set, while the refractive index typical of sapphire promotes strong light return and lively scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant-style crown with a pavilion that can include step facets, an arrangement intended to maximize both fire and scintillation while preserving weight and maintaining durable facet junctions. The excellent polish enhances these optical effects by minimizing light leakage at facet planes. The modest carat weight and compact dimensions make this stone well suited for classic solitaire rings, three-stone designs, or as a center in a halo where surrounding diamonds or white gemstones will amplify perceived size and contrast. Metal choices influence appearance; cooler white metals will emphasize the bluish aspect, whereas warmer metals such as yellow or rose gold will increase the perceived greenish warmth. The untreated nature of this Madagascar sapphire is an important consideration for design and valuation, as absence of heat or other enhancements maintains the stone’s natural state and is often preferred by connoisseurs and those seeking provenance and authenticity.

Within metaphysical and traditional frameworks, sapphires have long been associated with qualities of insight, clarity, and disciplined mind. The bluish green hue of this sapphire situates it at an intersection of the qualities traditionally attributed to blue sapphires and the balancing, heart-centered properties linked to green stones. In many spiritual practices this coloration is thought to facilitate clear communication, truthful expression, and the harmonization of emotion and intellect, supporting a measured articulation of feeling and thought. Practitioners often associate blue tones with the throat chakra, aiding in honest speech and confident sharing of ideas, while green tones connect to the heart chakra, promoting compassion, emotional balance, and healing of interpersonal dynamics. Consequently, a bluish green sapphire is frequently used as a talisman for mediating between head and heart, encouraging calm discernment, and fostering both empathy and clarity in conversation. For those employing the stone in contemplative or energetic work, common approaches include wearing the sapphire near the throat as a pendant to support communication, carrying it as a touchstone for moments of decision, or placing it during meditation to enhance focused awareness. Routine energetic maintenance described in many traditions involves periodic cleansing under natural light or running water and mindful intention-setting; from a material perspective the gem’s durability means it tolerates gentle cleaning with mild detergent and a soft brush, though care should be taken with ultrasonic or steam cleaning if visible inclusions are present. This Madagascar, untreated sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company offers both gemological integrity and the aesthetic qualities that many people seek when blending jewelry, craft, and personal or spiritual meaning.
