This 0.72 carat oval bluish green sapphire from Madagascar combines technical precision with strong visual presence, dimensions 5.37 by 4.47 by 3.52 millimeters, length to width ratio 1.20, depth proportion approximately 71.5 percent, faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes a brilliant style crown with a faceted pavilion to maximize return of white light while concentrating color. The mixed brilliant faceting yields tightly controlled facet junctions and accurate symmetry, contributing to an exceptional polish and crisp facet delineation, the excellent polish enhances contrast between bright and dark facets, producing intense scintillation across the table and crown facets. Clarity is graded slightly included evaluated at eye level, inclusions are present but not disruptive to the overall transparency or to the stone brightness under typical viewing conditions, the sapphire is transparent and exhibits a saturated, intense color intensity that reads bluish green in various lighting, and this dynamic color presence is accentuated by the relatively deep pavilion which channels light into the body of the stone rather than dispersing it outward. The stone has been heat treated to stabilize and enhance color, and provenance is Madagascar, a source known for producing sapphires with vivid and unusual green blue tones, this specimen is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company.
For the connoisseur seeking a centerpiece, the combination of mixed brilliant cutting, high polish, and concentrated color makes this sapphire particularly suited to settings that allow maximum light interaction, an open gallery or low bezel will preserve the pavilion light paths and showcase the gem s brilliance. The slightly included clarity grade advises precision in mounting to protect facet edges and maintain optical performance, while the intense color intensity and well executed faceting ensure strong face up impact even at 0.72 carat. Collectors will value the technical balance achieved here between depth driven saturation and brilliant style light return, the result is a compact oval that reads larger than its weight might imply when set to catch the light. For buyers attentive to cut proportions, optical behavior, and overall craftsmanship, this Madagascar bluish green sapphire represents a finely executed example of mixed brilliant cutting, ready to serve as a focal point in a bespoke ring or as a key stone in a refined collection.
