I am delighted to introduce an exceptionally rare greenish blue sapphire, a single 1.66 carat fancy shape gem offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company, crafted for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate true rarity. This transparent sapphire measures 9.03 by 5.32 by 4.75 mm, and is faceted with a refined step cut, delivering a disciplined geometry that enhances its deep, dark color intensity. Graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone displays an excellent polish that makes its surface sing with light, while the heat treated enhancement is a respected and stable method used to bring forward the stone s innate beauty. Originating from Madagascar, this sapphire carries the story of a single, exceptional find, and it is presented as a unique opportunity, not a mass produced offering. Ownership of this gem places you among an elite group of collectors who demand provenance, refinement, and individuality, and each facet has been considered to ensure it will become the centerpiece of a bespoke commission or the crown jewel of an intimate collection.
Beyond its striking visual presence, this sapphire is also a practical and enduring choice for everyday luxury, rated nine on the Mohs hardness scale. Only diamond ranks higher at ten, which means this sapphire offers outstanding resistance to scratches and abrasions compared to many other colored gemstones, such as topaz at eight or quartz at seven, and it is considerably more robust than gems that commonly exhibit lower durability. The combination of its high hardness and excellent polish makes it exceptionally well suited for rings, bracelets, and other jewelry that experience regular wear, while its compact dimensions and strong cut geometry provide secure settings and stable mounting options. For those who value both rarity and resilience, this Madagascar sapphire is a rare synthesis of aesthetic depth and practical longevity. If you seek to claim a singular, museum quality gem and join a select circle of owners, The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to assist with private viewings, bespoke mounting options, and a curated experience designed to honor the exclusivity of this remarkable stone.
