1.06 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

The 1.06 carat bluish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a gemstone that exudes exceptional brilliance and rare beauty, distinguishing itself remarkably from more commonly encountered gemstones. Unlike traditional stones such as diamonds or rubies, this sapphire's allure lies in its unique combination of color and craftsmanship. Measuring 5.51 x 5.24 x 3.76 mm, the asscher - octagon shape of this sapphire emphasizes its stunning geometric precision. The asscher cut, known for its deep step-cut facets and square outline, enhances the gem's transparency and allows light to dance merrily through its lush bluish green core. This interplay of light gives the sapphire a captivating luminance that is often absent in more ubiquitous gems.

When discussing gemstone grading, the clarity of this sapphire is of utmost importance to informed buyers. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, it possesses tiny inclusions that are barely visible to the naked eye, contributing to its transparency and overall aesthetic appeal. In comparison to sapphires with visible inclusions, this attribute enhances its desirability among collectors who seek purity in their gems. Furthermore, the intense color intensity of this sapphire is a defining characteristic, setting it apart due to its rich and vibrant hue. While sapphires are renowned for their spectrum of colors, this stone's particular shade of bluish green offers a fresh and sophisticated alternative to the more traditional blue sapphires. Such color saturation is typically associated with high-quality gems and is a mark of this sapphire's exceptional caliber.

The origin of this particular sapphire is Madagascar, a locale celebrated for producing some of the world's most distinguished sapphires. The island's unique geological conditions contribute to the formation of sapphires with distinctive colors and hues, such as the bluish green seen in this stone. As provenance plays a critical role in the valuation of gemstones, this connection to Madagascar enhances its intrinsic value. The mining practices and ethical considerations in the region often align with the expectations of educated buyers who seek sustainable and responsibly sourced gems. This connection not only attests to the gem's authenticity but also reassures buyers of its credible background.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we place a premium on craftsmanship, and this sapphire's excellent polish is a testament to that dedication. The stone's surface is impeccably finished, allowing light to reflect optimally and further augmenting its brilliance. As a gemstone company with a storied history, we understand the importance of trust and expertise, which is why every gemstone is meticulously appraised and certified.
