1.01 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

Imagine holding a personal ocean, a pocket of midnight and green dawn, that catches the light and tells a story every time you glance at it. This is a transparent 1.01 carat cushion shape greenish blue sapphire, measuring 5.42 x 5.36 x 3.98 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that plays with light like a small stage. At eye level the clarity reads very very slightly included, which means the gem is essentially eye clean and bright, and the polish is excellent so every facet sings. This sapphire is completely natural with no enhancement, a rare and honest voice from Madagascar, and its intense color intensity makes it feel larger than its carat weight, a vivid jewel that will stop breaths and start conversations. Close your eyes and picture it set as a solitaire on a slender band, catching sunlight in a way that seems to pause time and hold a private constellation just for you.

When you compare this gem to the great sapphires of history you begin to understand why certain colors move us so deeply. The Logan Sapphire and other storied blues are remembered for their saturated, regal hues and for the emotions they stirred when worn by those who collected them. This Madagascar cushion offers that same emotional pull on a more intimate, modern scale. Its greenish blue tone is reminiscent of coastal horizons seen at twilight, a color that changes subtly with angle, revealing a life of pleochroic personality and depth. Unlike many commercially treated stones, this gem comes from the earth in its true dress, no enhancement, so its color is pure and honest. The mixed brilliant cut invites scintillation and a lively array of flashes, a different conversation than the broad, velvety glow of some historic sapphires, but equally compelling. Clarity that reads very very slightly included at eye level is rare in such an intensely colored stone, and that clarity allows the light to travel unimpeded, producing a memorable brilliance that feels both antique and utterly contemporary.

Owning this sapphire is like inheriting a small but potent legend, a jewel that anchors memory and magnifies affection. Imagine presenting it as a promise, slipping it into a custom setting that mirrors your story, or wearing it simply to feel steadied by a gemstone that has seen the formation of mountains and the slow patience of time. The 1.01 carat weight is ideal for a ring that is both wearable and significant, for a pendant that rests against the heart, for an heirloom that begins with you and grows richer with every life it touches. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate stones that speak with clarity and character, and this Madagascar sapphire does both. It is a rare combination of honest origin, intense hue, excellent polish, and a cut that maximizes the sparkle within its compact dimensions. Choose it and you choose a jewel that compares to the best not by fame, but by the way it makes you feel, a lasting testament to beauty and to moments that deserve to be remembered.
