This 2.06 carat round bluish green sapphire from Tanzania exhibits a rare combination of weight, hue, and cut, making it a standout choice for collectors and connoisseurs, The Natural Sapphire Company. The gem measures 6.96 by 6.90 by 5.39 millimeters, giving an average face up diameter of approximately 6.93 millimeters and a modestly deep pavilion profile that concentrates color into the table for exceptional in body saturation. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the crown retains a traditional brilliant facet pattern to maximize scintillation and return, while the pavilion employs modified facets to intensify the stone color and reduce windowing, the result is a lively interplay of pinpoint brilliance and broad flashes of saturated teal. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, which means inclusions are minimal to the unaided eye and do not impede light performance, the stone remains transparent and clean in face up appearance. Color intensity is intense, the bluish green hue sits squarely in the rare teal range that is significantly less common than pure blue or green sapphires at this size, and the absence of any enhancement preserves natural color chemistry and long term stability.
From a craftsmanship perspective this sapphire shows excellent polish and careful facet alignment, the table and crown facets display crisp facet junctions that contribute to sharp scintillation and uniform light return, the slightly deep pavilion enhances perceived color depth, but also requires considered setting choices to optimize face up spread. Because this is an untreated Tanzanian sapphire, it is comparatively rare to find a stone over two carats with such saturated bluish green color and eye clean clarity, collectors often value untreated material for its natural character and provenance. Practical considerations include mounting in a setting that allows light to enter the pavilion, such as a semi open bezel or prong mount, to balance protection with optical performance, a halo or companion stones in warm metals will accentuate the teal tone without overpowering the inherent brilliance. For buyers seeking a technically excellent, naturally colored, and unusually hued sapphire in this size, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as an exceptional, investment worthy specimen.
