0.64 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the moment this green sapphire first formed deep within the earth, its story has been shaped by time, pressure, and the unique geology of Madagascar, the stone's place of origin. Long before it arrived in the hands of cutters and artisans, this crystal grew in a milieu of shifting minerals and cooling magma, absorbing subtle concentrations of trace elements that would one day give it its serene green hue. When miners first uncovered the rough, they recognized a rare clarity and a gentle, medium intensity color that suggested a gem destined for fine jewelry. The rock and soil of Madagascar have yielded many celebrated sapphires, and this little gem carries with it the quiet heritage of those fields, an unenhanced treasure that speaks of an origin left untouched by artificial treatments. In every facet of its journey there is a sense of honesty, a direct line from the earth to the finished gem, a lineage that we at The Natural Sapphire Company are proud to honor and preserve.

The transformation from rough crystal to the transparent 0.64 carat round sapphire you see before you was guided by careful decisions at every stage. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to balance fire and depth, creating a lively play of light across the table and crown while preserving the stone's natural green character. The finished dimensions, 4.83 x 4.78 x 2.97 mm, reflect a disciplined approach that prioritized symmetry and optimal light return, resulting in a pleasing round outline and a comfortable profile for everyday wear. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to most observers while retaining a trace of internal character that attests to its natural origin. Enhancement, no enhancement, is an important distinction for collectors and for those seeking an engagement gem with an untouched story. The polish has been finished to an excellent standard, each facet meeting smoothly to produce bright, consistent reflections that catch the eye without overwhelming the stone's gentle green tone.

This sapphire is a compelling choice for an engagement gem, offering a narrative alternative to more traditional stones. Green symbolizes renewal, balance, and a living promise, making it an especially meaningful color for a life commitment. The sapphire family brings exceptional durability to the symbol of engagement, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, which means the stone endures daily wear while retaining its polished beauty for years to come. At 0.64 carat this round sapphire sits at an elegant scale, intimate yet clearly present, perfect for a solitaire setting that centers the green hue, or for a halo design that amplifies sparkle with smaller accent stones. The mixed brilliant cut ensures that the stone will perform beautifully under a variety of lighting conditions, whether sunlight by day or candlelight at an evening dinner. The very slightly included clarity gives the gem a lived in authenticity, a reminder that it has endured a geological history to arrive at this perfect moment of exchange.

Every sapphire we offer comes with a commitment to provenance and to the care of its story, qualities that are central to the ethos of The Natural Sapphire Company. This green sapphire from Madagascar is unheated, transparent, and polished to an excellent finish, details that we document and stand behind with clarity.
