1.55 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

You are searching for a gemstone that answers both the heart and the eye, a stone that will hold meaning for a lifetime while delivering undeniable visual impact, and this 1.55 carat oval greenish blue sapphire answers that search with authority. This stone measures 7.02 x 5.99 x 4.51 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize both the face up color and lively return of light. Evaluated at eye level the clarity reads very slightly included, so the gem presents as eye clean to most observers, and the polish is excellent which means the surface is crisp and reflective, lending every movement an immediate sparkle. The color intensity is vivid, a greenish blue that captures the depth of ocean teal and the clarity of a clear mountain lake, and importantly this sapphire is completely natural with no enhancement, originating from the rich gemfields of Madagascar. For those seeking a forever piece, whether an engagement ring that must be admired daily or a collector piece that celebrates rarity and origin, this sapphire delivers the balance of color purity, transparency, and finish that fulfills both emotional and aesthetic requirements.

When comparing reflective qualities to other gemstones in its category, consider first the performance of mixed brilliant cutting against more traditional styles, and then how corundum behaves compared to other popular greenish blue gems. The mixed brilliant cut blends faceting styles to create both depth and scintillation, so this sapphire offers a play of light that is more dynamic than a step cut which emphasizes color and clarity but yields softer flashes. Against aquamarine, which comes from the beryl family and tends to be paler with a more glassy, liquid sheen, this Madagascar sapphire returns a stronger, crisper brilliance and a more saturated presence on the finger. Compared to tourmaline, which can show lovely color but often exhibits strong pleochroism and a softer light return, this sapphire balances color stability with a lively, even scintillation that reads as more jewel like in formal lighting. Against spinel, which can deliver strong sparkle and a certain brilliance that rivals sapphire, the advantages of this stone are its vivid color intensity and the excellent polish that makes reflections sharper, along with corundum durability which gives long term resilience in everyday wear. Versus other sapphires in the market, especially those that have been heat treated to enhance color, this unenhanced Madagascan example shows a natural saturation that feels more organic and nuanced, and the mixed brilliant faceting enhances the gem so that its internal light return communicates both fire and depth without appearing artificially enhanced.

For buyers whose priority is finding a stone that resolves the need for beauty, durability, and provenance, this greenish blue oval answers clearly, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind its qualities and origin story. The vivid hue will remain visible in varied lighting situations, the very slightly included clarity will permit confident setting choices without sacrificing eye clean appearance, and the excellent polish and mixed brilliant design will ensure that the gem throws bright flashes and lively scintillation with every movement. If you are envisioning this gem in an engagement ring design where the stone must catch attention and hold up to daily life, the natural corundum structure provides outstanding hardness and resistance to wear, while the unenhanced origin provides collectors with a piece that speaks to authenticity and field provenance.
