9.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

This remarkable transparent blue sapphire weighs 9.04 carats, and measures 13.29 by 10.36 by 7.88 millimeters, offering a generous oval presence that balances elegance with boldness. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the facet design maximizes brilliance and color return, while the excellent polish produces crisp facet edges and lively reflections. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is described as very very slightly included, which means only minute inclusions are visible under close inspection and they do not detract from the stone s overall transparency and brightness. The sapphire displays vivid color intensity, a deep rich blue that remains saturated across the stone, and the gem is heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that optimizes color and clarity and is fully accepted in the trade.

The combination of size, vivid saturation, and fine cutting yields a gem with strong face up appeal, and in photographs and on the hand the stone shows commanding color and presence that will translate beautifully into a variety of settings.
