1.56 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

There is a deep, almost sacred continuity in gemstones that connects the present to centuries of human devotion, and this heart shaped bluish green sapphire exudes that timeless lineage. We present a transparent 1.56 carat heart shaped sapphire with dimensions of 6.04 x 7.10 x 5.06 mm, a gem that carries the quiet gravity of tradition while shining with contemporary elegance. Originating from the storied lands of Madagascar, this stone arrives to you without enhancement, a true natural formation whose medium intense color intensity and slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level speak to authenticity rather than artifice. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish allow the sapphire to sing with life, catching light across its heart silhouette, a shape that has been cherished across cultures as the emblem of commitment and enduring affection. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate gems with provenance, and this sapphire is a reminder that some treasures are best left in their pure, natural state.

The artistry of cutting and finishing brings ancient material into modern form, and the mixed brilliant cut employed here is chosen to marry scintillation with depth of tone. The crown facets are designed to return light with sparkle, while the pavilion facets offer windows into the bluish green body color, creating a balance between fire and hue. Slight inclusions are present, a clarity grade that tells a geological story rather than a flaw, and when viewed at a typical distance by the naked eye the stone retains a pleasing, clean appearance suitable for center stone settings. At 1.56 carats and with the given dimensions this sapphire has a presence that reads as intimate and refined, ideal for an heirloom engagement ring, a cherished pendant, or a bespoke pair of earrings. Its excellent polish ensures smooth surfaces against the skin, and the inherent toughness of corundum means that with thoughtful setting design this gem will endure through daily wear and be passed down with confidence.

Beyond its physical presence this bluish green sapphire carries metaphysical associations that have been attributed to sapphires since antiquity, a heritage that blends myth, medicine, and spiritual practice into a single, resonant tradition. Blue and green tones both carry symbolism of calm and growth, and when they combine the stone is often linked to emotional renewal and clear, honest communication. Many who work with such sapphires find them to be allies in softening anxiety, promoting patience, and opening channels of compassionate speech between hearts. Because of its heart shape, this stone is particularly apt as a talisman of love and loyalty, encouraging fidelity and the steadying of long term bonds. Practitioners who align gemstones with energy centers often place bluish green sapphires in relation to the heart and throat chakras, believing the stone can harmonize feeling with expression, bringing clarity to intentions and courage to convey them.

The provenance of this sapphire from Madagascar adds another chapter to its story, Madagascar having produced some of the most remarkable unheated sapphires in recent history, gems prized for their natural palettes and geological authenticity. When you select a stone from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing not only a beautiful object, but a carefully documented piece of the earth, curated by gemologists who respect both the mineral and its cultural lineage. This heart shaped, unheated sapphire invites personalization, whether set in a classic platinum ring, a vintage inspired gold pendant, or a contemporary bezel that showcases the stone as an intimate focal point. It will respond beautifully to thoughtful settings that protect its girdle and pavilion, while allowing the mixed brilliant facets to perform. For those who cherish continuity, who seek a gem that feels as though it might already belong to a long family story, this sapphire offers a bridge between ancient symbolism and modern life, a gem to be loved, worn, and handed on as an emblem of wisdom, devotion, and enduring beauty.
