1.99 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

One exquisite gemstone that we are proud to present is a transparent greenish blue sapphire weighing 1.99 carats, elegantly fashioned in an emerald cut. The dimensions are 7.51 by 6.07 by 4.42 millimeters, and the stone exhibits a medium intense color intensity that sings with a cool, refined presence. Clarity is graded as Very Very Slightly Included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem is superbly clean to most observers and presents remarkable visual purity when set into a ring or other fine jewelry. The polish has been executed to an excellent standard, allowing light to travel through the pavilion and table with exceptional freedom, and because this sapphire has received no enhancement, it is entirely natural from its formation to the finished gem. Origin is Madagascar, a source that has become synonymous with high quality, vibrant sapphires in contemporary gem markets, and the provenance adds an additional layer of interest and desirability for collectors and connoisseurs. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize the combination of truthful origin, untouched beauty, and precise craftsmanship in every stone we offer.

To place this sapphire in a historical context is to connect with a lineage of gemstones that have been treasured for millennia, a lineage that spans royal treasuries and sacred adornments. The emerald cut itself carries a classical pedigree, originally developed to showcase the clarity and color of larger stones and beloved by those who value refined geometry and luminous planes rather than flamboyant sparkle alone. The cool greenish blue hue of this sapphire recalls the sea toned sapphires prized by ancient civilizations, while the transparency and crisp faceting evoke museum pieces and heirloom jewels that are passed down across generations. Madagascar sapphires have emerged as a modern chapter in the long story of corundum, offering hues and qualities that sit alongside historic sources such as Ceylon and Kashmir. Choosing an untreated gem in a traditional cut is a decision that honors both nature and craftsmanship, and it appeals to buyers who value continuity, legacy, and a sense of enduring style.

From an investment perspective this particular sapphire is exceptionally well positioned for future appreciation, for several converging reasons. Untreated sapphires command increasing interest in the market because collectors and investors are seeking authenticity and natural origin in an era when treatments can complicate valuation and resale. The combination of near two carat weight, an elegant emerald cut that maximizes table visibility, high transparency, and a medium intense color intensity creates a profile that is both rare and highly saleable. Provenance from Madagascar adds to the story and makes the gem more attractive to buyers who track origin and supply chain, and the fact that the stone has no enhancement elevates its market standing relative to similar looking but treated material. Historically, fine natural sapphires have shown steady long term appreciation as global wealth grows and as high quality natural gemstones become scarcer due to finite supply and increased competition for the best rough. For collectors who are building a diversified tangible asset portfolio, for couples seeking an engagement gem that will endure and potentially appreciate, and for investors who appreciate the blend of beauty and scarcity, this sapphire presents a compelling case. The near two carat threshold is psychologically and commercially significant, and polished gems that meet that bar while maintaining superior polish and clarity usually command a premium over time.

Selecting this sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company ensures that your acquisition is supported by expertise, transparency, and a reputation for sourcing exceptional untreated material. We encourage viewing the gem under multiple lighting conditions to appreciate its color shift and light performance, and we can provide detailed imaging and certification guidance to document the stone for future sale or inheritance. This sapphire is ideal for a timeless engagement ring, a bespoke pendant that will be worn for decades, or a private collection focused on untreated, historically resonant stones. While the clarity grade is Very Very Slightly Included, the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when mounted, and they serve as markers of natural origin rather than defects. Investing in a stone like this is not merely a financial decision, it is a cultural and aesthetic one, linking you to centuries of gemological tradition while offering a tangible asset that can be enjoyed and passed on.
