1.57 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This oval shaped greenish blue sapphire began its journey deep within the ancient soils of Madagascar, where earth and time conspired to create a gem of exceptional character. Buried in basalt and metamorphic rock, the rough crystal took shape over millions of years under pressure and heat, absorbing trace elements that gave rise to its unique greenish blue hue. Local miners, working with generations of knowledge, discovered the rough and recognized its potential immediately, knowing that Madagascar produces some of the most vibrant and sought after sapphires in the world. From that remote landscape the stone traveled to our cutting studio, where every step of its transformation was guided by respect for the gem and by an eye for excellence. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to trace this sapphire back to Madagascar, and to honor the cultural and geological story that it carries, ensuring that the stone reaches you in its most honest and natural state, with no enhancement applied.

At the heart of this gem is its precise weight, 1.57 carat, a carat weight that speaks clearly of premium quality and presence. Carat is the scale by which rarity and visual impact are judged, and a 1.57 carat sapphire in an elegant oval form offers a balanced mix of wearable size and luxurious appeal. The dimensions of 7.66 x 5.59 x 4.31 mm translate the weight into a silhouette that will sit beautifully in a ring, pendant, or custom piece, creating a visual field that allows the greenish blue color to perform with depth and life. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize scintillation and internal light return, while the excellent polish ensures that each facet interacts with light with crisp, mirror like clarity. Its clarity grade of very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level confirms that the stone is essentially eye clean, allowing the intense color intensity to remain the central story without distraction.

The transformation from rough Madagascar crystal to this finely faceted 1.57 carat oval involved skilled artisans who read the stone like a score, planning faceting to accentuate color saturation and to preserve weight. The mixed brilliant cut blends crown brilliance with pavilion fire, creating a balance that amplifies the greenish blue tone and yields lively sparkle across the surface and through the body of the gem. No enhancement was applied, so what you see is a natural result of the stone itself, its original chemistry and formation. The excellent polish is the final act in the cutting process, the step that allows light to pass through the facets with minimal diffusion, enhancing both brilliance and color. For those who cherish provenance, The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind this sapphire with transparent sourcing and the option for independent certification on request, providing assurance that this 1.57 carat gem is both naturally beautiful and responsibly sourced.
