1.19 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This beautiful transparent greenish blue cushion shape sapphire weighs 1.19 carat, and its weight alone places it in a rare and desirable category that many comparable stones on the market do not meet, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with dimensions of 6.27 x 5.27 x 4.28 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, intense color intensity, very slightly included clarity as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, the origin is Madagascar and there is no enhancement, which already sets it apart from the majority of commercial sapphires that are routinely heat treated or otherwise enhanced. In the current market many sapphires under one carat are produced to meet demand, but stones that clear the one carat threshold while remaining natural and unenhanced are considerably rarer, and that scarcity directly affects long term value and desirability for both collectors and private buyers. The cushion shape here offers a generous face up appearance for the weight, and the mixed brilliant cut maximizes fire and brightness compared to basic step or shallow cuts commonly found in lower cost offerings.

Weight is a primary driver of value in colored gemstones, and a 1.19 carat unenhanced sapphire from Madagascar carries pricing and rarity advantages over lighter or treated stones, The Natural Sapphire Company sources and certifies such pieces because the premium for natural clarity and color without enhancement tends to appreciate relative to mass market material. Compared to typical market options this sapphire offers a superior combination of attributes, the intense greenish blue hue is uncommon and vivid, the very slightly included clarity ensures eye clean performance that many similarly colored stones lack, and the excellent polish enhances brilliance and makes the gem read larger on the finger or in a pendant. Because the gem is unenhanced buyers gain assurance of authenticity and predictable performance over time, unlike treated stones that may change under certain conditions, the specific proportions and depth contribute to a well balanced table and efficient light return, and the 1.19 carat weight is a meaningful premium for settings that favor one carat and above, making this sapphire an exceptional value for someone seeking rarity, durability, and long term beauty.
