1.20 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent, Other certified, bluish green sapphire weighs 1.20 carat, and is fashioned into a classic cushion shape measuring 6.18 x 5.55 x 3.68 mm, and it displays an intense color intensity with excellent polish. The cutter employed a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a modified step pavilion to achieve a precise balance between brightness and depth of tone. The facet junctions are well aligned, the symmetry is consistent, and the excellent polish enables clean light transmission into and out of the stone. As corundum, this sapphire benefits from a refractive index in the range of approximately 1.762 to 1.770, and the cutter optimized pavilion depth and crown angles to maximize internal reflection, producing strong return of white light and discrete chromatism. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, the minor internal features are localized and do not disrupt the overall light pattern, and the stone has been heat treated to enhance color uniformity while preserving natural crystal structure. This gem originates from Madagascar, and it has been evaluated and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company.

The structural combination of transparent material quality, intense bluish green color, and mixed brilliant faceting generates a sparkle that is exceptional and complex, rather than singular. The brilliant crown facets act as optical engines for flash, producing scintillation that responds quickly to movement, while the modified step pavilion channels light through repeated total internal reflections, producing depth and contrast that emphasize the saturated hue. The intense color provides a high chroma backdrop that accentuates small white flashes, creating a distinct play between color and brilliance that many uniformly colored stones lack. Slight inclusions, positioned away from primary facet junctions, allow uninterrupted facet reflection planes, and the excellent polish minimizes surface scattering, so light is returned as clean flashes and broad luminous areas. For collectors and connoisseurs who evaluate cut proportions, color grade, and polish with technical precision, this Madagascar bluish green cushion sapphire represents an artful synthesis of natural material quality and expert lapidary technique, and it is offered with the provenance and standards of The Natural Sapphire Company.
