3.01 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Kenya

This 3.01 carat transparent cushion shape bluish green sapphire from Kenya measures 8.73 x 7.60 x 4.74 mm, yielding a depth proportion of approximately 58.1 percent, a dimensional balance that supports both color saturation and efficient light return. The gemstone is cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style, where a brilliant pavilion is married to a modified cushion crown facet arrangement to optimize scintillation while preserving the gem s natural hue. Facet junctions exhibit precise symmetry and an excellent polish, producing crisp facet reflections and strong contrast that enhance the intense color intensity. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating minute inclusions that do not interfere with transparency or brilliance and that contribute minimally to the stone s character. The sapphire has undergone standard heat treatment to stabilize and intensify the bluish green tone, a permanent enhancement performed under controlled conditions and widely accepted within the trade. Optical parameters of corundum including a refractive index near 1.76 to 1.77 and low birefringence work in concert with the mixed brilliant cutting scheme to deliver lively fire and directional brilliance without compromising the stone s color purity.

Durability for daily wear is a defining attribute of this sapphire, as corundum registers 9 on the Mohs scale and has a high specific gravity near 4.00, offering exceptional resistance to abrasion and surface wear when set in jewelry destined for regular use. The cushion silhouette presents rounded corners that reduce exposure to chipping, and the well controlled pavilion and crown angles preserve facet integrity through routine handling and professional maintenance. With excellent polish and robust facet architecture, the gem withstands common jewelry stresses such as impact and abrasion better than most colored stones, making it ideal for rings, pendants, and bracelets intended for every day wear. For customers seeking both technical refinement and practical longevity, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this 3.01 carat Kenyan cushion sapphire as a carefully executed, heat treated, and highly wearable gem, ready to be set in secure mounting styles that further protect the stone while showcasing its intense bluish green color and precise mixed brilliant craftsmanship.
