1.13 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent, round shaped bluish green sapphire presents a precise combination of size and visual appeal, weighing 1.13 carat and measuring 5.95 x 5.97 x 4.13 mm. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, optimized to balance scintillation and depth of color, and is finished with an excellent polish that enhances surface reflection and visual crispness. Color is intense, registering a strong, well saturated bluish green that remains attractive under varied lighting. Clarity has been assessed as very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone offers clean appearance to the unaided eye while retaining natural internal character under magnification. There has been no enhancement, the sapphire is presented in its natural state, and its transparency contributes to an elegant, lively presentation suitable for precision settings.

The mixed brilliant cut applied to this sapphire is chosen to reconcile modern faceting principles with the stone s natural color zoning, producing a balanced interplay of brilliance and color. The cut proportions and the excellent polish work together to maximize light return from the crown and the pavilion, while preserving the integrity of the stone s color saturation. Clarity characteristics are minimal and consistent with the expected features of natural sapphires, and the very slightly included grade at eye level indicates that inclusions do not detract from visual performance when mounted. The absence of enhancement is a significant specification, as it confirms that no heat treatment or other modification has been applied to alter color or clarity, preserving original material properties and making the sapphire a strong candidate for collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize natural state gemstones.

The origin of this sapphire, Madagascar, contributes materially to its character and market value. Madagascar has emerged over recent decades as a prominent source of high quality sapphires, producing a wide range of colors and crystal qualities due to complex and varied geology. Sapphires from Madagascar are often noted for their lively color saturation and transparent material, reflecting formation conditions that promote the development of well structured crystals with attractive chromophore distribution. Provenance from Madagascar therefore carries both descriptive and qualitative weight, because origin informs expectations about crystal habit, potential inclusions, and color behavior. For buyers and gem professionals, documented origin enhances confidence in a stone s identity and can affect long term valuation, particularly in contexts where natural, unenhanced material is preferred by collectors and designers.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire with clear technical description and provenance to support informed selection. The stone s measurements, carat weight, cut type, clarity grade, and enhancement status are provided so that jewelers and clients can assess suitability for a specific design or investment objective. With its 1.13 carat weight and compact round dimensions, it adapts well to classic solitaire designs and to refined halo or three stone settings where its intense bluish green color will remain a focal point. The combination of natural origin, no enhancement, excellent polish, and very slightly included clarity provides a balance of aesthetic beauty and verified natural character, enabling precise matching with metal and mounting choices for durable, elegant jewelry.
