1.10 Ct. Bi Color / Parti Sapphire from Madagascar

This pear shaped bicolor parti sapphire, weighing 1.10 carat, was formed over millions of years within the metamorphic and alluvial environments of Madagascar. The stone presents transparent body material with a distinct bicolor distribution that shows green and yellow tones, and it exhibits intense color intensity that remains vibrant through the crown facets. The specimen measures 7.93 x 5.17 x 3.59 mm, and it has been cut and polished into a classic pear outline to balance the color zoning and maximize optical performance. The rough was sourced from carefully selected artisanal and small scale operations, where initial sorting and basic cleaning were completed near the mine site to preserve the natural character of the material and to allow for an informed decision on the optimal cutting strategy.

The piece was faceted using a mixed brilliant cut, integrating pavilion and crown facet structures to enhance both scintillation and overall light return. The cutting process emphasized proportion and symmetry to harmonize the color transition across the pear shape, and the excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and a clean table window. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates only minor internal characteristics that do not compromise transparency or brilliance under normal viewing. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, the stone is natural and untreated, and its origin is documented as Madagascar. Each step of the cutting and finishing workflow was recorded and reviewed as part of a standard quality assurance protocol to ensure the finished gem conforms to the specified dimensions and weight, and to confirm the gemological descriptions provided to clients.

The journey from mine to market included registered handling at each transfer point, professional cutting and grading in an experienced gem lapidary facility, and independent verification of key attributes prior to presentation. The Natural Sapphire Company maintains chain of custody documentation and photographic records from rough selection through faceting and final inspection, providing transparency about provenance and treatment status. Final presentation files include measurements, carat weight, cut description, clarity grade with evaluation method, polish rating, and a clear statement that no enhancement has been applied, all of which support informed selection for mounting and design. This bicolor parti sapphire, with its precise dimensions, mixed brilliant faceting, intense natural color, and excellent polish, is suitable for settings that emphasize pear shapes and color contrast, and it is intended to be offered with full disclosure of origin and grading details to facilitate design and appraisal decisions.
