1.10 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 1.10 carat pear shape green sapphire presents a combination of exacting dimensions and a rare hue that is uncommon in comparable material, the length measures 9.19 mm, the width measures 4.98 mm, and the depth measures 3.14 mm, producing a definitive elongated profile with a length to width ratio near 1.85 which emphasizes finger orientation in finished jewelry. The gem is transparent and calibrated to a precise size category where green sapphires of this intensity and clarity are seldom available, particularly from a single source. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this stone to collectors and designers who value scarcity in both scale and chroma, an attribute that elevates its suitability for bespoke settings where the stone functions as a confident center piece rather than a mere accent.

Cut and facet architecture are the primary drivers of this sapphire performance, the stone is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, employing a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown to maximize scintillation, paired with modified step and pavilion facets to control light return and tone. The pear outline was executed with careful attention to symmetry and girdle consistency, the table facet is proportioned to balance face up spread and depth controlled to preserve the intense color while maintaining stellar light dispersion. Facet junctions are tight and the facet planes are precise, which together with an excellent polish allows crisp facet flashing and a lively play of light under varied viewing angles. The combination of crown facet angling and pavilion geometry yields strong scintillation along the point and rounded terminus of the pear, enhancing the visual length while preventing dark winging in typical mounting environments.

Color characteristics of this sapphire are the defining rarity, the gem exhibits an intense color intensity with a predominant green hue that carries a clear, saturated tone and minimal secondary modifiers. Unlike many green sapphires that appear muted or heavily grayed, this material shows a vivid, clean chroma that remains stable under both natural daylight and common artificial illumination. Origin is Madagascar, a source increasingly recognized for producing highly colored sapphires in a broad palette, and this specimen displays the regional signature of lively saturation combined with transparent body color. The stone has been heat treated, a standard and accepted enhancement that optimizes color homogeneity and removes residual pleochroic imbalance without compromising structural integrity, the treatment is stable and consistent with trade practices, and it is fully disclosed to preserve long term value and wearer confidence.

Clarity and finish further distinguish this sapphire, the clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, signifying minute natural inclusions that do not detract from face up brilliance and are generally only perceptible under magnification or close scrutiny. The surface finish is excellent, the polish contributes to immediate brilliance and facilitates optimal light transmission through the pavilion, and the careful lapidary work minimizes windowing and enhances apparent size. For mounting considerations the pear silhouette accommodates both bezel and prong approaches, with the measured depth supporting secure settings without compromising table size. When provenance, technical execution, and color are considered together this green sapphire represents a rare combination, and The Natural Sapphire Company presents it as a premium option for connoisseurs and designers seeking a green sapphire that is uncommon in both size and saturated color, the stone arrives fully documented with disclosure of treatment and origin to support informed selection and responsible acquisition.
