2.46 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Tanzania

This transparent 2.46 carat oval bluish green sapphire, measuring 9.02 by 6.37 by 4.83 millimeters, presents a compelling combination of size, color, and natural character that will appeal to an educated buyer. Cut in a mixed brilliant style with an excellent polish, the stone exhibits intense color intensity and lively return of light, while retaining strong durability and wearability typical of corundum. The clarity is graded slightly included when viewed at eye level, and importantly, this sapphire is completely untreated, no enhancement, with documented origin from Tanzania. For collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize natural provenance, this combination of an attractive saturated hue, a clean mixed brilliant faceting plan, and unaltered state represents a rare balance of aesthetic appeal and geological integrity, attributes we at The Natural Sapphire Company emphasize in our sourcing and gem reports.

What makes this sapphire unmistakable is the distinctive pattern of internal features that function as its signature, giving the gem personality as well as proof of natural origin. Close inspection reveals delicate growth zoning and a scattering of minute crystal inclusions, occasionally aligned in fine needle-like orientations that produce subtle silk and soft diffusion of light across the pavilion. These internal characteristics do not detract from the gem’s beauty; rather they enhance color saturation and create a layered visual depth that shifts between blue and green tones depending on light angle, a pleochroic effect valued in high-quality sapphires. The slightly included clarity allows these features to be visible without dominating the face-up appearance, adding a fingerprint of natural formation that gemological laboratories recognize and which reassures buyers that the stone has not been modified. For a buyer seeking a responsibly sourced, eye-catching sapphire with verifiable natural character, this 2.46 carat Tanzanian bluish green oval combines technical quality with an identifiable internal signature, making it an excellent choice for a bespoke ring or pendant that will age well and retain provenance-backed value.
