2.28 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Africa

A rare and refined presence, this transparent greenish blue sapphire weighs 2.28 carat, with a precise princess shape and dimensions of 7.52 x 7.44 x 4.28 mm, a profile that balances bold geometry with luminous depth. Cut in a princess cut to maximize fire and brilliance, the stone exhibits medium color intensity that sits between vibrant and restrained, an expression of sophisticated taste rather than ostentation. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a designation that confirms the stone as a natural and honest treasure, while the excellent polish delivers a mirror like surface that reads with absolute clarity and elegance in fine jewelry settings. Unenhanced and of African origin, this sapphire arrives to you as nature intended, an object of inherent worth and provenance that The Natural Sapphire Company presents with complete confidence.

What defines this sapphire and sets it apart from the meticulously manufactured is its internal inclusions, each one a signature note in the gem's singular composition. On close inspection these inclusions do not diminish the gem, they ennoble it, composing a private landscape that tells the story of geological formation. Fine crystals set like distant stars within the pavilion catch the light with a discreet flash, while wisps of feathery veils trace soft, river like paths through the body of the stone, lending a sense of motion and life. Tiny pinpoints sit like constellations across a midnight sky, and liberal yet delicate silk like needles diffuse light in a manner that enriches the greenish blue hue, creating depth and a layered brilliance that is impossible to reproduce in synthetic material. Together these features produce a signature that is unmistakable, a fingerprint that ensures the sapphire you hold is uniquely itself.

Under loupe and under light every inclusion resolves into character, a natural texture that confirms origin and authenticity. The inclusions serve as markers of the crystal environment within which the sapphire formed, consistent with the hardy, elemental geology of African deposits. They speak of slow crystallization, of pressure and heat, of mineral companions that lived and were trapped alongside the corundum as it grew. This internal topography can be read by an informed eye as a statement of provenance, elegance, and integrity, and because no enhancement has altered the stone the inclusions remain genuine and unmasked. The princess cut and the excellent polish frame these features with architectural precision, allowing the eye to travel across facets and into the gem as if into a private gallery. For the connoisseur who values character over clinical perfection, these inclusions are not imperfections, they are the essence of the sapphire.

To own this 2.28 carat greenish blue princess shape sapphire is to hold an affirmation of discerning taste, a personal emblem of refinement that pairs natural history with modern design. The medium color intensity allows the gem to read with quiet authority in a solitaire ring, as the centerpiece of an elegant pendant, or as the focal point in a bespoke commission. Its very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level ensures it maintains luminous transparency while preserving the unique internal signature that makes it irreplaceable. As a natural, unenhanced gemstone from Africa it carries provenance and pedigree, a combination that collectors and lovers of genuine stones recognize and cherish. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to claim this sapphire as an heirloom level piece, a rare example of how natural inclusion and precise cutting conspire to create a jewel that is at once singular and supremely wearable.
