2.15 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This is a beautiful, transparent 2.15 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire, with exact dimensions of 7.31 by 6.60 by 5.02 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style, graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, showing medium intense color intensity, and finished with an excellent polish. This sapphire is completely natural and shows no enhancement, and it is sourced from Madagascar. The combination of a classic cushion outline and a mixed brilliant faceting gives this stone a balanced face up presence that measures true to its carat weight, while the clean table and strong pavilion depth contribute to lively sparkle and consistent light return. At 2.15 carats the gem is large enough to command attention when set in a ring or pendant, yet its proportions remain elegant and wearable for everyday designs.

In terms of grading and visual performance, the clarity described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when viewed unaided, which is a quality many connoisseurs prefer to treated or heavily included material. The mixed brilliant cut combines pavilion facets optimized for scintillation with a crown that maximizes brilliance and dispersion, producing flashes of light that animate the bluish green body color. The medium intense color intensity sits in a highly desirable zone, offering both saturation and versatility, and the bluish green hue can shift subtly with changes in light source and viewing angle, a property often appreciated for its depth and character. The excellent polish further enhances the gem, allowing clean facet junctions and mirror like surfaces that project color and light with clarity.

The fact that this sapphire is natural and untreated significantly enhances its desirability to an educated buyer, because no heat or other enhancement has been used to alter its color or clarity. Madagascar is a recognized source for vibrant and unique sapphires, and material from this region is sought after for its distinctive color profiles and clean crystals. Natural, unenhanced sapphires of this size and attractive color are relatively scarce in the market, which contributes to their long term value and collectability. Buyers who prioritize provenance and minimal processing will recognize the premium that an untreated Madagascar sapphire represents, and we can provide additional gemological documentation on request to confirm origin and the absence of treatment.

Durability is a key reason this sapphire is well suited to daily wear, because corundum, the mineral species to which sapphire belongs, rates nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, and is inherently resistant to scratches and abrasion. In addition, the toughness of sapphire is good, and with careful setting design it performs exceptionally well in rings, bracelets, and pendants that are worn frequently. For practical daily wear we recommend protective settings such as a bezel or a well supported prong setting with secure corners for the cushion outline, and metals such as platinum or 18 karat gold are excellent companions for both durability and aesthetic refinement. Routine care is straightforward, using warm soapy water and a soft brush for cleaning, and avoiding harsh chemical environments and repeated mechanical impacts will preserve the stone for generations.
