1.98 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.98 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire measures 6.76 x 5.69 x 5.04 millimeters and is faceted in a classic emerald cut, characterized by its stepped facets and trimmed corners that emphasize color and clarity. The stone exhibits an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, yielding well-defined facet junctions and even surface lustre. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the sapphire is natural with no enhancement recorded. Origin is Madagascar, a source noted for producing sapphires with vibrant and complex blue to green tones. These objective specifications convey the material qualities one would expect for precise design work, laboratory documentation, and appraisal purposes, and they reflect the standards upheld by The Natural Sapphire Company.

The sapphire’s internal features are small, naturally occurring inclusions that function as unique identifiers, effectively a fingerprint for this individual gem. These features may present as minute crystal inclusions, fine growth zoning, or tiny internal lines and planes that formed as the corundum crystallized, and they are consistent with the very slightly included clarity grade described at eye level. Rather than detracting from the gem, these inclusions contribute to its character, providing diagnostic traits that can assist with origin verification, identification, and long-term provenance. Because the stone is unheated, these natural inclusions also serve as evidence of its untreated state. In practical terms, the inclusions are subtle and do not materially compromise the stone’s transparency or the intensity of its bluish green color, but they should be taken into account when orienting the stone in a setting to maximize color balance and face-up appearance. The combination of an emerald cut, substantial table, and excellent polish enhances the visibility of color and the interplay of light across the stepped facets, producing a composed and elegant face-up presentation suitable for a variety of jewelry designs. The Natural Sapphire Company documents these characteristics to provide clear, factual information for collectors, gemologists, and designers seeking an untreated Madagascar sapphire with identifiable natural character.
