0.34 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

At The Natural Sapphire Company I am pleased to present this transparent green sapphire, weighing 0.34 carat, round shape, with precise dimensions of 4.18 x 4.19 x 2.71 mm. The stone has a mixed brilliant cut which combines the depth of a step style pavilion with a brilliant style crown, a combination that enhances both light return and scintillation. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, meaning there are minor natural inclusions that are detectable to a trained observer at typical viewing distance, but they do not dominate the gem or interrupt its overall appeal. Color is described as medium intense, which is sought after by educated collectors because it balances saturation and tone, preserving both liveliness and versatility in jewelry settings. The sapphire is heat treated, a common and stable enhancement for improving color and clarity, and it carries an excellent polish that maximizes facet definition and surface brightness. Origin is Madagascar, a source known for producing a wide range of attractive sapphire colors, and the provenance adds a degree of desirability for buyers who value traceable supply chains and well documented origins.

Under different lighting conditions this green sapphire displays subtle shifts that reward close study, a feature appreciated by connoisseurs. In natural daylight the medium intense green shows a fresh, leaf like green with cool bluish undertones, and the mixed brilliant cut returns crisp flashes of light across the table and crown facets. Under incandescent or warm LED light the stone will appear slightly warmer, with the green taking on a richer, more olive tone, and the strong polish ensures lively scintillation even in softer lighting. Under bright direct sunlight occasional flashes of lighter green will appear as the stone scintillates, while under diffused indoor lighting the depth of color becomes more apparent, giving a refined and elegant presence. Dispersion or fire in sapphire is modest compared with diamond, but this stone compensates through contrast and facet pattern, producing attractive sparkle. For settings, white metals emphasize brilliance and cooler hues, while warmer metals will enhance the olive character of the green, choices that an informed buyer can use to complement the stone. This Madagascar origin, heat treated, slightly included green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a balanced combination of natural character, craftsmanship in cutting and polishing, and practical beauty for fine jewelry.
