1.04 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent bluish green sapphire weighs 1.04 carat, and measures 6.12 x 6.11 x 3.57 mm, presented in a round shape with a faceted, mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and depth. Its color displays an intense color intensity, a balanced blend of blue and green tones that shift slightly with viewing angle, which is a hallmark of quality material from Madagascar. The clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means small natural inclusions are present but do not detract from the gem when set, and in fact serve as a fingerprint of its natural origin. The polish is excellent, giving crisp facet junctions and lively light return, and importantly, the stone is offered with no enhancement, a characteristic that increases rarity and appeal to buyers who prioritize untreated gems. For the educated buyer, this combination of natural, untreated color, attractive proportions, and a precision mixed brilliant cut results in an item that balances beauty with investment quality, and that will sit well in bespoke settings or as a standout center stone.

This sapphire began its journey in the gem bearing terrains of Madagascar, where artisanal miners recovered gem rough from weathered alluvial deposits and primary pegmatites. Each piece of rough is selected by experienced hands for color saturation and crystal quality, then sent to a local cutting house where the rough is assessed, mapped, and oriented to preserve weight while optimizing color and brilliance. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant design to enhance the stone’s blue green color zoning and to create even light distribution across the table. After cutting and polishing, the gem underwent a careful evaluation by our gemology team at The Natural Sapphire Company, who confirmed the slightly included clarity at eye level, the intense color intensity, and the absence of heat or other enhancements. From there the sapphire entered our inventory with full provenance notes, imaging, and handling protocols that protect its condition until it reaches you. For a buyer seeking a natural, untouched sapphire with a compelling story, excellent polish, and the secure sourcing practices of The Natural Sapphire Company, this 1.04 carat Madagascar sapphire represents a rare and responsibly sourced opportunity.
