1.79 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.79 carat asscher octagon bluish green sapphire from Madagascar presents a rare combination of weight, color, and clarity that discerning buyers will appreciate. The stone measures 6.76 by 5.95 by 4.27 mm, and is cut in an asscher style that emphasizes step facets and a broad table, creating a sophisticated interplay of depth and sparkle. Clarity is graded as eye clean evaluated at eye level, which means the gem appears free of visible inclusions to the unaided eye, preserving both aesthetic appeal and market desirability. Color intensity is noted as intense, with a balanced bluish green hue that reads consistently across different viewing angles due to precise facet geometry and an excellent polish. No enhancement has been detected, making this an unheated, natural sapphire, a factor that significantly enhances provenance and value for collectors and connoisseurs. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem with full disclosure of origin and treatment status, giving buyers confidence in their purchase.

The 1.79 carat weight itself is a key driver of rarity and value. Sapphires increase in rarity as carat weight grows, because large, clean, vividly colored rough material is uncommon, and the price per carat typically rises disproportionately as stones move into higher weight brackets. At 1.79 carats this sapphire occupies an important threshold where presence and wearability meet investment potential. The asscher cut in this size maximizes face up appearance while maintaining depth for color saturation, so the gem reads larger on the finger than its dimensions alone might suggest. Because this stone is eye clean and unenhanced, collectors seeking natural material will find it particularly attractive, as untreated sapphires from Madagascar with intense color are increasingly sought after. Practical considerations also favor this gem for fine jewelry, since sapphire is hard and durable, suitable for daily wear in rings or statement pieces. If you value documented origin, natural state, excellent cut, and a substantial yet wearable carat weight, this 1.79 carat asscher octagon bluish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a rare and compelling choice.
