0.74 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the remote, mineral rich hills of Madagascar this 0.74 carat green sapphire began its long journey, formed over millions of years as chromium and iron infused slow cooling corundum deep within the earth, emerging from weathered rock with a story written in subtle inclusions and enduring structure. Skilled miners carefully recovered this transparent oval, and it was brought to experienced cutters who revealed its true personality with a mixed brilliant cut, preserving weight while creating lively facets. Measuring 5.95 by 4.45 by 3.37 mm, with a clarity graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and a dark color intensity, the stone was selected for precision finishing. Heat treatment was applied to stabilize and enhance its color, and the final stage was an excellent polish that gives the gem its clean face and lively reflections. At every step The Natural Sapphire Company ensured ethical sourcing, meticulous grading, and a reverence for the natural story locked in this small but expressive gem.

When set into jewelry this green sapphire will make a distinctive statement, its dark, vibrant hue contrasting beautifully with both warm and cool metals, and its mixed brilliant cut delivering scintillation that catches the eye without overwhelming the design. In a simple bezel the color will read deep and forest like, offering an elegant, understated presence, and in a halo or three stone arrangement the internal flashes of lighter green will animate the composition and lend movement to the setting. Designers and makers will appreciate how the slightly included clarity gives a sense of authenticity and depth, while the excellent polish and precise proportions allow light to dance across the table and crown. Whether placed in a classic ring, a refined pendant, or delicate earrings, this Madagascar sapphire will stand out, drawing attention to its verdant tone and natural origin, and reflecting a narrative of earth, craft, and care. Owned and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem invites a wearer to carry a fragment of Madagascar, transformed by human hands into a jewel that complements a range of styles, and that will age gracefully as a small but meaningful heirloom.
