2.55 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent bluish green sapphire weighs 2.55 carat, it is fashioned in a cushion shape and measures 7.24 by 6.46 by 5.47 mm, it is cut with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement, the color intensity is described as intense, and the polish has been graded as excellent. The clarity assessment is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for an educated buyer communicates that the stone is remarkably clean when seen without magnification, yet retains the natural fingerprint of its formation. The stone is from Madagascar, and it has not been subjected to any enhancement, offering the contemporary connoisseur a wholly natural color and structure. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize verifiable details, and this gem exemplifies the combination of size, cut and natural clarity that collectors and designers seek when investing in a notable sapphire.

The dimensions and carat weight of this sapphire make it especially well suited as the centerpiece of a statement ring or a prominent pendant, because at 2.55 carat the table presents a generous surface for color to be appreciated, and the cushion outline balances classic form with modern presence. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light return across the pavilion and crown, producing a dynamic play of brilliance and color as the gem is viewed from different angles, which is essential for a stone intended to draw the eye. The face up area offered by a 7.24 by 6.46 mm cushion creates a visual impact on the finger that is larger than the carat weight alone might suggest, and the 5.47 mm depth provides sufficient pavilion to support strong facet contrast without sacrificing face up spread. For a bespoke design where the gem is the protagonist, these proportions enable both secure settings and an elegant silhouette, whether set in a halo, a solitaire, or a more architectural mounting.

Clarity is a primary determinant of beauty and value in sapphires, and the very slightly included grade, reported at eye level, is meaningful to the technical buyer. This grade implies that inclusions are minor, are not detrimental to durability, and rarely distract from the overall visual appeal under normal viewing conditions. In practice this can mean small crystals, pinpoint inclusions, or faint feathering that do not reach the surface or affect the stone structurally, and when combined with an excellent polish these internal features tend to be masked by light performance. From a gemological perspective the integrity of the crystal is sound, and because no enhancement has been applied to alter clarity or color, the buyer acquires a stone whose attributes are inherent. For those familiar with the trade, an unenhanced sapphire with this clarity at this size represents a premium tier of natural material.

Origin is an important factor for many educated purchasers, and Madagascar has emerged over recent decades as a significant source of high quality corundum, often producing stones with both attractive saturation and interesting secondary tones. This bluish green hue is a product of chromium, iron and titanium interactions within the corundum lattice, and the intense color intensity reported here suggests a well balanced chromophore concentration, with a richness that reads well in daylight and under artificial lighting. Sellers who understand market dynamics know that unheated or unenhanced stones from reputable localities command attention because they require no corrective treatment, and because provenance can influence rarity perceptions among collectors. The Natural Sapphire Company documents origin and treatment status carefully, and this Madagascar sapphire offers the informed buyer the assurance of a natural, untreated gem whose color and clarity are representative of its locality.

For the buyer seeking a stone that delivers both aesthetic impact and sound gemological credentials, this 2.55 carat cushion bluish green sapphire meets those requirements. The combination of meaningful carat weight, generous dimensions, a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance, and a very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level elevates the gem beyond a mere accent stone into the realm of a true statement piece. The absence of enhancement increases long term desirability and market stability, especially for clients who prioritize natural gems. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can provide guidance on settings that will showcase the stone most effectively, and we can advise on certification options and bespoke mounting services. For collectors, designers and discerning buyers this sapphire represents a thoughtful acquisition, one that unites visual presence with the verifiable qualities that define lasting value.
