This pear shape greenish blue sapphire weighing 1.24 carat presents as a technically refined gem, engineered for collectors who value precision in cutting and consistent optical performance. The stone measures 7.98 by 5.72 by 3.63 mm, yielding a length to width ratio of approximately 1.40 which produces a balanced, elegant pear outline suitable for both single stone mounts and display collections. Cut in a faceted, mixed brilliant style, the piece combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a complementary pavilion faceting scheme to maximize return of light while preserving color saturation. Facet junctions are well aligned and facet planes are proportioned to promote even scintillation and a lively facet contrast. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that inclusions are minimal and do not interrupt the visual field or the stone s transmission of light, allowing for clean windowed viewing of the intense greenish blue hue. Polish is excellent, contributing to crisp mirror faces on facets and superior luster across the table and crown facets.
From a material and provenance perspective this sapphire is heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that improves color uniformity and reduces localized zoning without compromising the structural integrity of the crystal. Origin is Madagascar, a source known for producing strongly colored blue and greenish blue corundum with fine crystallographic development. Color intensity is described as intense, with a well balanced tone and a hue leaning toward blue with a distinct greenish component that adds complexity and collector appeal. The mixed brilliant faceting combined with the excellent polish and the very very slightly included clarity grade yields a gem with strong light return, attractive depth of color, and lively scintillation when tilted under light. For the discerning buyer who examines craft details, this sapphire demonstrates careful facet planning, competent symmetry control, and finishing consistent with high end gem cutting practices. Presented and certified by The Natural Sapphire Company, this 1.24 carat pear shape greenish blue sapphire is an exceptional technical specimen and a perfect addition to a high end gemstone collection, offering both aesthetic pleasure and long term collectible value.
