3.24 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

There is a particular kind of beauty that speaks of centuries, a presence that seems to gather history into a single glance. This transparent bluish green sapphire, weighing 3.24 carats, carries that kind of quiet authority. Its cushion shape, with dimensions of 8.02 x 7.26 x 5.76 mm, presents a classic silhouette that has graced rings and pendants for generations, while its mixed brilliant cut translates tradition into modern brilliance. The color intensity of the stone is intense, delivering a rare and compelling bluish green that shifts with light and angle, a reminder of the oceans and forests that have inspired gemstone lore for millennia. From the island soils of Madagascar, this sapphire brings with it the storied lineage of one of the world s most respected sources, a provenance that amplifies both its romance and its rarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how such a gem is not merely an object, but a continuation of a narrative, destined to become a cherished emblem passed down through families.

Weight is the language through which rarity speaks most directly, and a 3.24 carat sapphire commands attention in both the market and the heart. As carat weight increases, supply diminishes sharply, particularly for stones that combine superior transparency, intense color, and refined proportions. A gem of this weight occupies a special tier where wearable presence and investment value converge. The mixed brilliant cut in this cushion profile has been chosen to maximize optical performance while preserving weight, allowing the cutter to maintain depth and table proportions that enhance fire and scintillation. At 3.24 carats the physical dimensions deliver an impressive face up size, providing visible breadth on a hand or neckline, while the preserved depth of 5.76 mm ensures structural integrity and a satisfying play of light. For collectors and connoisseurs who value both beauty and scarcity, carat weight is an essential measure of a gem s story, and this sapphire s weight places it in a class that is both desirable and uncommon.

Clarity and finish further define the character and value of this sapphire. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, the stone offers exceptional transparency and minimal internal features, which do not detract from its visual appeal. The excellent polish lifts every facet plane, enabling clean light return and a smooth, gemgy surface that feels alive to the eye. Enhancement by heat treatment is a time honored and stable method to bring out the best in natural sapphires, and it is a widely accepted practice that can enhance color while respecting the stone s inherent identity. This sapphire s origin in Madagascar is significant, as the island has produced many of the modern era s most desirable sapphires, known for their clarity and vibrant hues. In the hands of skilled cutters and gemologists, weight, cut, clarity, and polish have been harmonized to reveal a gem that reads as both ancient and immediate, classical and modern.

Owning a gem like this is an invitation to join a lineage of appreciation that spans cultures and eras. A 3.24 carat bluish green sapphire with intense color and a refined cushion cut makes an exceptional center for an engagement ring intended to become an heirloom, or for a pendant meant to carry personal meaning through decades. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can guide you in selecting the setting that honors the stone s proportions and protects its structure, whether you prefer a classic four prong embrace, a halo that amplifies its presence, or a bezel that celebrates the gem s clean lines. The sapphire s durable corundum structure and substantial weight mean it will wear with enduring grace, maintaining both physical resilience and market desirability. For those who seek a gem that combines historical resonance, natural rarity, and immediate beauty, this 3.24 carat Madagascar cushion sapphire stands as a rare and compelling choice, ready to begin the next chapter in your family s story.
