1.12 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.12 carat oval bluish green sapphire from Madagascar is a finely proportioned gem, measuring 6.94 by 5.12 by 3.75 millimeters, with a pavilion depth that yields approximately 62 percent depth, a balance that promotes lively light return and a pleasing face up size. The stone is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining brilliant facets on the crown with classic facets in the pavilion to optimize both scintillation and color saturation. Clarity is graded as very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean to the unaided eye with only minor inclusions visible under magnification, a quality that preserves transparency and brilliance. Color is described as vivid in intensity, a saturated bluish green that reflects the characteristic teal to deep greenish blue tones often associated with Malagasy sapphires, colors produced primarily by trace amounts of iron and titanium. The polish is excellent, resulting in well defined facet junctions and strong surface luster. Enhancement disclosure is clear and transparent, this sapphire has been heat treated, an industry standard treatment that stabilizes and enhances color and clarity, and one that is widely accepted by gemologists and collectors when fully disclosed.
