0.82 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.82 carat cushion shape green sapphire measures 6.19 by 4.52 by 3.28 millimeters and presents a finely balanced mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return and optical depth, making it an excellent choice for both classic and contemporary settings. The gem carries a clarity grade of slightly included evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that are characteristic of natural corundum and that do not detract from overall transparency or brilliance. Color is a defining quality for this stone, with intense color intensity that displays a rich, deep green under daylight and a slightly cooler tone in lower light, giving it versatile presence on the finger. The polish is excellent, which enhances facet definition and gives crisp reflections from the pavilion to the table, and the sapphire is natural with no enhancement, a trait highly prized by educated buyers who value untreated material. Origin is Madagascar, a source known for producing distinctive and well colored sapphires, and this stone is exactly the type of responsibly sourced, high integrity gem we present at The Natural Sapphire Company.

This green sapphire has a story that began in the earth millions of years ago when corundum crystals formed under high pressure and temperature in a metamorphic environment associated with continental collision and regional metamorphism in Madagascar. Trace elements such as iron and chromium were incorporated into the corundum lattice during growth, producing the green hue that distinguishes this stone, and slow crystallization allowed the development of internal features that now appear as slight inclusions when viewed at eye level. Over geological time the crystals were transported and concentrated by erosion and alluvial processes, and later recovered by careful mining and sorting. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen by an experienced cutter to preserve weight while optimizing color and sparkle, and the excellent polish reflects meticulous finishing work. For collectors and clients seeking a natural, unenhanced sapphire with measurable provenance, durable wearability and a compelling natural history, this 0.82 carat Madagascar green sapphire represents an informed and lasting choice.
