1.07 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This greenish blue sapphire from Madagascar presents as a beautifully transparent and lively gemstone, weighing 1.07 carats and cut into a classic round shape. It measures 6.36 by 6.38 by 3.67 millimeters, a balanced set of proportions that delivers excellent presence on the finger without overwhelming the setting. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceting scheme that emphasizes both scintillation and fire, creating lively flashes of white and colored light as the stone moves. Color is one of the most important attributes of a sapphire, and this gem displays an intense greenish blue hue that is both saturated and appealing, offering a unique alternative to traditional cornflower or royal blues while retaining the depth that collectors prize. The surface has been given an excellent polish, which maximizes light return and gives the stone a clean, faceted appearance that reads as premium quality to the naked eye.

Grading details matter to knowledgeable buyers, and this sapphire stands out across the key categories. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, VVS by standard terminology, meaning inclusions are extremely minor and typically require magnification to be seen. For practical ownership this translates to a gem free of visible blemishes, ideal for a setting where clarity enhances brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut is designed to optimize the balance between brilliance and color saturation, and the excellent polish further contributes to high surface luster and crisp facet junctions. Importantly for collectors and long term wear, this sapphire is unenhanced, with no heat treatment or diffusion applied. Natural, unenhanced sapphires of this color and clarity are significantly rarer in the marketplace than heat treated material, and the untreated state preserves the stone in its natural condition for those who prioritize authenticity.

Origin plays a critical role in both character and provenance, and this sapphire is from Madagascar, a source that has become well regarded for producing intensely colored sapphires in a range of blue and greenish blue tones. Madagascar stones frequently offer fine saturation and attractive clarity, and an origin declaration allows informed buyers to place the gem within a geographic and geological context.
