1.14 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Australia

This 1.14 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a study in balanced proportions and natural color. The gem measures 6.48 x 5.50 x 3.62 mm, yielding a depth that is approximately 60 percent relative to its average diameter, a proportion that supports both strong color saturation and pleasing face up brilliance. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the stone displays a modified brilliant crown with a step influenced pavilion, an arrangement chosen to optimize light return while preserving the integrity of the sapphire s characteristic bluish green tone. The material is transparent with a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet planes. Color intensity is classified as dark, and the stone exhibits the deep teal to bluish green range for which Australian sapphires are prized. This sapphire has no enhancement, a naturally occurring color and clarity profile that will appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who value untreated material and precise lapidary execution.

From a faceting and finish perspective the mixed brilliant architecture in this cushion shape is technically accomplished. The modified brilliant crown presents well proportioned main facets that lead into a relatively small table which enhances scintillation while controlling the appearance of dark zones in a stone with a dark tone. The step influenced pavilion introduces broader plane facets that deepen the apparent color and create larger flashes of tone on movement, a desirable effect for a sapphire with a dense hue. Facet junctions are sharp and well aligned across the girdle which appears uniform and appropriately finished for the size. The excellent polish contributes to strong surface reflection and minimizes light leakage, allowing the stone s internal features to remain visually soft and unobtrusive. The very very slightly included clarity grading at eye level means that internal characteristics are minute and do not interfere with transparency or brilliance under normal viewing conditions, and they serve as natural fingerprint features that confirm the stone s origin and authenticity. With its dimensions and mixed brilliant design this cushion sapphire is well suited to settings that showcase depth of color, including solitaire rings with protective corners or pendants that allow unobstructed light passage through the pavilion.

Beyond its gemological attributes this bluish green Australian sapphire carries a set of traditional metaphysical associations that many collectors find complementary to its physical beauty. Sapphires in the blue green spectrum are commonly linked with a convergence of throat and heart energy, suggesting enhanced communication grounded in compassion. Practitioners and enthusiasts report that such tones support clearer expression of feelings and intentions while promoting emotional equilibrium. The darker intensity of this stone is often associated with deepening focus and resilience, attributes that can aid in sustained concentration and disciplined thought. Because this sapphire is natural and unheated, some metaphysical traditions consider its energies to be particularly pure and stable, reinforcing a sense of authenticity when used in personal talismans or jewelry that is worn daily.

Applications for this sapphire within mindful practices can be practical and aesthetic. Worn as a pendant or in a ring placed near the throat or heart regions the stone may be used as a focal point for breath centered meditation and reflective work on communication patterns. In a daily carry or set as a desk talisman it can serve as a reminder of clarity and balanced speech, while in ceremonial or contemplative contexts it can be used to anchor intention and to foster calm during decision making. For the discerning buyer who values technical workmanship as well as the traditional energetic associations of natural sapphires The Natural Sapphire Company offers this cushion shape Australian sapphire as an example of uncompromised lapidary skill combined with a storied gemological character.
