2.08 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Tanzania

One beautiful transparent 2.08 carat oval shape bluish green sapphire from Tanzania offers a rare combination of natural color, clean appearance, and precision cutting, qualities that place it above many alternatives you will find on the market. Measuring 8.12 x 6.27 x 4.45 mm, this stone has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize sparkle while preserving weight and face up presence, and it displays intense color and an excellent polish that together create lively play and strong saturation in a size that works perfectly for an engagement ring or a signature everyday piece. The clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which means the gem appears clean to the naked eye and carries only minor internal features when viewed under magnification, a trait that often commands a higher premium compared with more included materials. Crucially, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, so the color and clarity are entirely natural, a difference that makes it demonstrably more valuable and more desirable than many heat treated or otherwise enhanced sapphires that dominate the marketplace.

Durability is a defining advantage of sapphire, and this faceted Tanzanian gem is especially well suited to daily wear in jewelry, a benefit that separates it from many colored stones that require extra caution in everyday settings. Sapphires rank nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, which means they resist scratching from most common materials encountered in routine life, including metals and grit. In addition to hardness, corundum, the mineral family that includes sapphire, offers good toughness and resistance to chipping, meaning the well proportioned oval shape and mixed brilliant facet design help disperse impact and protect edges and corners better than some delicate cuts. Compared to emeralds, which are typically softer and often contain higher inclusion levels that reduce durability, this sapphire will hold up far better in a ring, bracelet, or pendant worn daily. The excellent polish enhances surface resilience and minimizes places where grime might adhere, and because the stone is natural and unenhanced, standard cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is effective and recommended, providing a simple maintenance routine that keeps the gem vivid while avoiding special treatment requirements that some other gems impose.

When assessing value and long term appeal, this Tanzanian bluish green sapphire stands out in several ways, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer it as a superior choice for buyers seeking both beauty and substance. Many sapphires on the market have been heat treated to improve color or clarity, a practice that is widespread and acceptable in the trade, but an untreated stone with intense color and eye clean clarity is scarcer and often represents a better long term investment. Mixed brilliant cutting adds brilliance that is more typically associated with diamonds and certain fine gem cuts, giving this sapphire an optical performance that makes it sparkle in multiple lighting conditions, and the oval outline creates a flattering silhouette on the finger, allowing the stone to read larger than its carat weight might suggest. Compared with other popular greenish or teal gems, such as tourmaline or green beryl, this sapphire combines superior hardness, richer color saturation, and greater longevity, so it requires less protective setting design and gives the wearer confidence for daily wear.

Finally, beyond the technical merits, this sapphire offers a unique aesthetic that bridges classic elegance and contemporary tastes, a versatility that is often missing from single tone or heavily treated gems. Its bluish green hue is uncommon in the natural sapphire world, allowing owners to enjoy a distinctive look without sacrificing durability or value. At The Natural Sapphire Company we vet origins, confirm treatment status, and present full details so you can make an informed choice, and this untreated Tanzanian sapphire exemplifies the type of responsibly sourced, high quality gem that distinguishes our collection. For anyone seeking a stone that will perform beautifully for years to come, and that will look exceptional in daily worn jewelry, this 2.08 carat oval bluish green sapphire offers a rare blend of robustness, brilliance, and natural color that compares favorably against both treated sapphires and other green gemstones on the market.
