1.50 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This is a rare transparent 1.50 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company, a piece that announces itself with quiet confidence. Measuring 6.10 x 5.79 x 4.49 mm, it has been masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth, and it shows an intense color intensity with an excellent polish that catches and holds light from every angle. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, making this sapphire essentially eye clean while retaining the natural fingerprint that serious collectors and connoisseurs prize. Most importantly for discerning collectors, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, a fact that elevates its desirability and places it among the select number of truly natural gemstones available to the market today. When you acquire this stone you acquire not just a jewel but a tangible piece of Madagascar, a country now recognized among the elite sources of exceptional sapphires, and you join a small group of owners who will treasure an unaltered and intensely colored gem.

When comparing its hue and tone to sapphires from other famous locations, this Madagascar bluish green sapphire asserts a personality of its own while nodding to the best traits found around the world. Against a classic Kashmir blue, known for its velvet cornflower tone and silky diffusion, this stone reads greener and crisper, offering more of a living teal than Kashmir serenity. Compared with the luminous Ceylon sapphires from Sri Lanka that often present as lighter, brighter blues and blue greens with an airy transparency, this gem has a deeper, more saturated presence, a medium dark tone that feels more refined and dramatic in hand. In contrast to old Burmese sapphires, which can be intensely blue and sometimes almost royal in their weighty saturation, this Madagascar stone leans toward the blue green spectrum with a clarity and vibrancy that suggests oceanic depth rather than oceanic abyss. When measured against Australian sapphires, which can often be darker, inky, or almost blackish blue and sometimes display strong green overtones, the Madagascar tone here is cleaner, more luminous and less pastoral, with a bright and lively core of color that emerges under light. For those who know Montana sapphires, with their delightful teal and greenish blue hues that can be softer and more muted, this gem is decidedly more intense, with a vivid saturation that reads as both modern and timeless.

The mixed brilliant cushion cut is an intentional choice that accents both the gemology and the aesthetic of this stone, creating a balance between brilliant sparkle and broad flashes of color that display the stone to its fullest potential. The cut proportions and the excellent polish ensure that light is managed to enhance the intense bluish green tone, while the transparent nature of the sapphire allows for a lively interplay of internal reflections that deliver both scintillation and color depth. The very slightly included clarity grade speaks to authenticity and natural origin, and those tiny natural inclusions, visible only under magnification or to a trained eye, confirm that this is an unheated gem, not a laboratory adjusted stone. Unheated sapphires with this level of intense color and transparency are uncommon, and those that are cushion shaped and cut to such standards become instant candidates for bespoke pieces that celebrate their uniqueness. Imagine this 1.50 carat sapphire set into a minimalist platinum bezel to let its teal heart speak, or surrounded by a halo of delicate diamonds to juxtapose cool fire against luminous white facets, each setting option allowing the owner to tailor the impression from modern restraint to vintage glamour.

Owning this Madagascar sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company places you among a select clientele who appreciate provenance, natural beauty, and the singular story that an unenhanced gem carries. Because sapphires such as this are found only intermittently, and because unheated material with this intensity is particularly prized, availability is inherently limited and acquisition is a decision that becomes an investment in rarity and refinement. Our gem specialists are available to provide additional imagery, a professional opinion on settings and matching stones, and documentation regarding the gem, including laboratory reports where available, so that each purchase is made with confidence and complete transparency. If you seek a stone that offers the deep, oceanic clarity of a teal sapphire, the energetic saturation that reads as intense but not heavy, and the assured authenticity of an unheated gem from Madagascar, this cushion shaped sapphire answers that request with composure and distinction. Contact The Natural Sapphire Company to arrange a private viewing or to discuss having this extraordinary sapphire set into a one of a kind creation, and take your place among the limited number of collectors who will own this rare and remarkable jewel.
