1.01 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

The story of this exquisite 1.01 carat cushion-shaped bluish green sapphire begins deep within the earth, where intense geological processes forged its existence millions of years ago. Originating from the mineral-rich terrains of Madagascar, this gemstone is a testament to the dynamic forces of nature. Over eons, heat and pressure acted upon the corundum crystals, creating the ideal environment for trace elements like iron and titanium to infuse their color. These natural catalysts gave rise to the sapphire's distinctive bluish green hue, a vivid tapestry of color that dances between shades, evoking the lush vegetation and serene waters of its Madagascan cradle.

Craftsmanship meets nature in this gemstone, perfected by the expert hands that transformed it into a spectacular piece of art. The mixed brilliant cut showcases the sapphire's inherent beauty with its expertly calibrated facets, captured in precise dimensions of 5.95 x 4.60 x 4.08 mm. Each facet of the sapphire has been meticulously shaped to maximize light reflection and refraction, crafting a visual symphony of scintillation and brilliance. The choice of a cushion shape further enhances the gemstone's allure, merging vintage elegance with modern refinement. This cut, synonymous with versatility, allows the sapphire to seamlessly integrate into various jewelry designs, making it an ideal choice for those who truly appreciate fine details.

Color grading of gemstones is a careful science, balancing human perception with objective measurement. In this bluish green sapphire, the intense color intensity is a defining feature, a burst of vibrant color born from a harmonious blend of mineral interactions within the earth's crust. This intensity is universally appreciated by connoisseurs, striking a balance between depth and brightness that commands attention without overwhelming the senses. Complementing the intense color is the gemstone's clarity, graded as very slightly included. This clarity grade highlights the excellence of the sapphire, containing only minute inclusions that are difficult to detect even at eye level, ensuring that the gemstone maintains its allure under close inspection.

The polish of a gemstone is an often understated yet crucial element in its final presentation, acting as the final touch that elevates the piece to pure excellence. The excellent polish of this sapphire, rendered by skilled lapidaries, imparts a surface of exceptional smoothness and gloss. This high level of polish is instrumental in amplifying the sapphire's naturally reflective properties, enhancing the gemstone’s luster and its ability to capture and transform ambient light into a mesmerizing display of fire and brilliance. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pride ourselves on offering gemstones that exemplify both nature's grandeur and human artistry. This particular sapphire embodies that commitment, serving as both a relic of our planet's past and a beacon of timeless elegance for discerning buyers who appreciate the jewels of the earth.
