0.39 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

If you have been searching for a gemstone that answers the call for elegance, authenticity, and timeless provenance, this green sapphire will quiet that search. This is a transparent 0.39 carat, radiant shape green sapphire, with precise dimensions 4.05 by 4.00 by 2.85 millimeters, cut into a radiant cut that balances brilliance and geometric grace, clarity grade slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, and a verified origin of Madagascar. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that some customers seek an engagement gem with quiet confidence, while others look for a rare collector piece with natural character, and this sapphire answers both needs. It is small enough to be set as a delicate center stone or as the focal point of a cluster, and it is naturally colored and untreated, which means its beauty comes from the earth itself rather than from human alteration.

To truly appreciate this gem, consider its beginning, deep in the planet and measured in epochs rather than years. Millions of years ago, long before human hands walked the landscapes that would become Madagascar, magma movements and shifting tectonic plates created the conditions necessary for corundum formation. In pockets of the earth where aluminum rich rocks met fluids carrying trace elements and where heat and pressure danced together over geologic time, sapphire crystals began to grow atom by atom. For a green sapphire, iron and sometimes traces of chromium were present in just the right proportions, altering the way light interacts with the crystal lattice and producing that verdant hue. As the earth shifted, these nascent crystals endured cycles of pressure and release, some trapping tiny mineral companions as inclusions, which are the natural fingerprints that tell the stone of its origin and growth. Over the ages, weathering and erosion freed many of these crystals from their bedrock, and streams carried them to alluvial deposits where patient miners in Madagascar recovered them from river gravels, each rough piece a tiny time capsule.

The transformation from those primordial moments to the gem you hold begins with selection and ends in the precision of the cut and polish. Our cutters evaluate each rough for orientation, internal features, and the potential to maximize color and brilliance, and for this piece they chose the radiant cut to marry lively sparkle with a modern silhouette. The dimensions 4.05 by 4.00 by 2.85 millimeters are the result of careful planning to retain weight while revealing the stone at its most flattering proportions. The grade slightly included evaluated at eye level acknowledges that there are natural inclusions visible under normal viewing, which for many collectors and connoisseurs adds a story to the gem rather than detracting from it. The medium color intensity gives it a versatile green that reads as refined in white metal settings and as earthy and luxurious in yellow or rose metal settings. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, the surface delivers mirror like facets that return light with optimism, and the color is wholly its own, unchanged by heat treatments or dyes. This unenhanced origin from Madagascar is significant, because untreated sapphires with natural color are rare and sought after by discerning buyers.

When you place this green sapphire into a design, you choose a gem with narrative, provenance, and adaptability. For those seeking an engagement ring, this stone offers a quiet confidence, a gemstone that will not shout but will be noticed for its purity and its story, and The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on settings that protect its slightly included clarity while showcasing the radiant cut and medium green tone. For collectors, it represents a Madagascar piece with natural color and no enhancement, a specimen that speaks to the earths craftsmanship rather than human intervention.
