2.60 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Tanzania

This 2.60 carat, emerald cut bluish green sapphire, measuring 8.72 x 6.15 x 4.64 mm, offers a reflective character that sets it apart from many stones in its class, the emerald cut emphasizes large, flat facets that create bold, mirror-like flashes rather than the pinpoint scintillation of a brilliant cut, this makes the gem read as a deep, luminous window of color when viewed face up, the intense color intensity and excellent polish on this Tanzanian sapphire maximize those broad reflections, creating an even, velvety sheen that is more sophisticated than the more scattered sparkle you see in many commercial sapphires or in other green gems, compared to emeralds and green beryl, which tend to have a softer luster and lower refractive index and therefore return less light, this sapphire produces clearer, crisper facet reflections and a stronger sense of depth, compared to green tourmaline or chrome tourmaline, which can appear glassier and less reflective at similar saturations, this sapphire’s vitreous luster and higher refractive index deliver a noticeably brighter and more dynamic face up presence, the very slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, ensures that the stone maintains visual purity while allowing the light to reflect across the step facets without distracting internal interruptions.

In the current market many sapphires are heat treated to improve color and clarity, however this gem is offered with no enhancement, making its reflective qualities a natural expression of its Tanzanian origin and crystal structure, untreated material like this often shows a depth and complexity of reflection that can diminish in treated stones, the emerald cut also sets it apart from the common round and cushion cuts found in the trade, where light is dispersed into scintillation, the step cut channels light into broad, elegant flashes and a mirror-like polish that highlights color zoning and depth rather than sparkle alone, for buyers seeking a statement piece that favors refined, architectural reflections and rich, bluish green tone, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company represents superior value and individuality, the combination of intense color intensity, excellent polish, precise emerald cut, natural origin, and very slightly included clarity gives it a reflective quality and presence that distinguishes it from other gemstones in its category.
