1.49 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Tanzania

This single 1.49 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire from Tanzania embodies the kind of natural charm that collectors and connoisseurs seek, and here at The Natural Sapphire Company we present it as a clear example of value and character in the modern gem market. Its dimensions of 6.38 by 5.57 by 4.28 millimeters and its mixed brilliant cut have been chosen to maximize both color and sparkle, and its excellent polish ensures lively reflections from every facet. Unlike many stones on the market that undergo heat treatment or diffusion to achieve a desirable hue, this sapphire is without enhancement, which makes its medium intense bluish green tone authentic from the moment it formed deep within the earth. When compared to mass market, heavily treated material, this untreated Tanzanian sapphire offers a level of rarity and integrity that translates into long term desirability and confidence for the buyer.

Color is the foremost attribute that determines a sapphire s emotional and monetary appeal, and this stone s medium intense bluish green hue occupies a sweet spot between saturated color and wearable versatility. Against the typical deep cornflower blues or strongly greenish sapphires found in some deposits, this gem retains a lively, slightly cool green with blue influence that changes subtly under different lighting conditions, giving it an animated presence on the finger or in a pendant. The mixed brilliant cut preserves the gem s color by combining deeper pavilion facets that concentrate tone with a well proportioned crown that allows flashes of white light, producing more scintillation than many step cut or overly shallow cushions. Compared to stones that sacrifice color for size or that are heavily modified to improve apparent color, this sapphire s native tone and measured cutting make it a superior choice for a wearer who values authenticity, enduring style, and the ability to pair the gem with warm or cool metals.

The internal features of this sapphire are not flaws to conceal, but natural signatures that tell the story of its formation, and they add unique character that cannot be replicated in synthetic or aggressively treated material. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is slightly included, which typically means there are small pinpoint crystals, subtle feathers, and minor growth zoning visible under close inspection. These inclusions act like a fingerprint for the stone, confirming its natural origin and often providing clues about its place of formation, while at the same time contributing to a living depth that perfectly cut, eye clean synthetics lack. In practical terms these inclusions do not compromise the overall durability or beauty of the gem, particularly because the cutter has oriented the pavilion and crown to conceal larger inclusions and to enhance brilliance. Where many commercial sapphires are selected for absolute near perfection and then heavily treated to mask natural features, this Tanzanian sapphire embraces its natural identity, appealing to buyers who prefer provenance and honesty over artificially enhanced appearance.

For a customer deciding among the many options available, this cushion cut, mixed brilliant sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company stands out for a few clear reasons. The size and weight are ideal for a central solitaire that reads significantly on the hand without becoming overly large, and the 6.38 by 5.57 by 4.28 millimeter proportions translate beautifully into ring designs with secure prong work or into halo settings that emphasize the stone s color. The excellent polish ensures that light returns efficiently, producing a pleasing balance of fire and brilliance while maintaining the medium intense bluish green that makes the gem so versatile. Compared to rubies or blue sapphires that demand heavy grading premiums for a particular shade, and compared to treated or synthetic alternatives that lack natural character, this untreated Tanzanian sapphire represents a thoughtful investment in authenticity and aesthetic longevity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we stand behind stones like this because they combine honest origin, meticulous cutting, and distinctive natural inclusions that together offer a gem that is both beautiful to wear and satisfying to own.
