0.85 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Madagascar

One beautiful transparent 0.85 carat fancy shape bi color sapphire, measuring 5.82 x 7.09 x 3.41 mm, presents itself as an object of singular taste and quiet confidence. This gem, sourced from Madagascar and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a study in sophisticated color, exhibiting a medium intense color intensity that moves from luminous yellow green to deeper teal and sea green as light and angle shift across its surface. The step cut has been executed with exceptional care, its clean, geometric facets creating broad planes of reflection that emphasize the sapphire's clarity and bi color character. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the stone reads as remarkably clean to the unaided eye, and its excellent polish allows internal color to sing with a softly mirrored brilliance. Importantly, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, a distinction that speaks to its natural integrity and rarity, qualities that connoisseurs and collectors prize above all.

The architectural step cut and the stone's refined proportions lend themselves to elegant and modern design, a gem that commands attention yet wears with discretion. In the hand the 0.85 carat weight and the 5.82 x 7.09 x 3.41 mm dimensions translate into a jewel that is perfectly suited for a bespoke engagement ring, a finely balanced pendant, or a striking stud, where the faceted terraces will catch ambient light and reveal shifting pools of color. The bi color nature is particularly well showcased by settings that allow light to enter freely, such as a low profile prong or a delicate bezel with open gallery work, options that The Natural Sapphire Company recommends to best reveal the gem's dual personality. The very very slightly included clarity, combined with the excellent polish, ensures that the sapphire will present a clean, vibrant face, while the step cut emphasizes breadth of color rather than sparkling fragmentation, producing a refined, mirror like flash that is unmistakably luxurious.

Beyond aesthetic virtues, this sapphire offers the practical assurance of enduring wear, its durability defined by its place on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Sapphires are corundum, meaning they score a 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond which sits at 10, and this ranking translates into exceptional resistance to scratches in daily life, making this 0.85 carat bi color sapphire an excellent candidate for everyday jewellery. While a hardness of 9 confers strong scratch resistance, it is still prudent to protect the stone from hard impacts that could chip the step cut facets, and to choose secure settings and periodic professional inspections to preserve the stone over a lifetime. For those who desire a jewel that embodies both resilience and refined taste, placing this natural, untreated Madagascar sapphire into a well considered setting will create a piece that is as much a statement of personal achievement as it is an heirloom grade treasure. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to consider this extraordinary bi color sapphire, a rare natural specimen whose provenance, polish, and purity combine to mark true ownership as an act of impeccable discernment.
