1.49 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

I am pleased to present a superb natural sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, a transparent 1.49 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire measuring 6.83 x 5.62 x 3.99 millimeters, faceted with an emerald cut and evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level. The cutter employed classical step faceting to emphasize color saturation and window stability, producing a broad table and well proportioned crown that allow the intense color to read consistently when set. The pavilion depth and facet angles have been calculated to retain richness without turning the stone overly dark, a balance that is evident in the face up presentation where the bluish green tone remains vivid and evenly distributed. Polish quality is excellent, with crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet planes that maximize light return along the long steps. No enhancements have been applied, the color and clarity are natural, and the Madagascar origin imparts a characteristic depth and complexity to the hue that connoisseurs will recognize.

The clarity grade of very very slightly included reflects minimal internal features that serve as a natural fingerprint for this gem, adding provenance and character rather than detracting from performance. Under loupe examination these inclusions appear as fine silk and minute mineral points, with subtle growth zoning that confirms natural crystallization and origin, and that contributes to a velvety diffusion of light through the step facets. These internal features help to authenticate the stone, and they interact with the strong color saturation to produce localized flashes of blue green when the stone is tilted, a pleasing form of pleochroism inherent to corundum. The precise facet symmetry and polished pavilion ensure that these inclusions do not create windowing or unwanted light leakage, instead they sit within the optical depth to enrich body color. For the technical buyer seeking a high quality, unenhanced sapphire with classical cutting and meticulous finishing, this Madagascar emerald cut sapphire offers an excellent combination of intense natural color, precise faceting, and minor, identifiable inclusions that validate its natural history.
