1.13 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent bluish green sapphire weighs 1.13 carats, and measures 6.91 by 5.94 by 3.60 mm in an elegant oval shape. It is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that combines a faceted pavilion with a brilliant style crown to maximize fire and scintillation. The clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents a clean face up appearance while retaining natural internal characteristics that attest to its identity as a natural sapphire. Color is described as medium intense, a well balanced saturation that reads as a fresh oceanic green with a distinct blue component, and the polish is excellent producing crisp facet junctions and lively light return. This sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement in the trade that improves color and overall visual appeal without compromising the durability of corundum. Origin is Madagascar, a source known for producing a diverse range of green to blue sapphires with attractive tone and saturation.

From a gemological viewpoint this stone presents an appealing combination of attributes that will resonate with an educated buyer. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to yield maximum brilliance for the oval outline, and in this parcel the pavilion depth and crown angles have been worked to promote balanced light performance, so the gem displays strong flashes of white light and subtle spectral color in motion. Very slightly included on-eye evaluation indicates that inclusions are minor and do not detract from the overall transparency and brilliance, which enhances value for use in a ring or pendant where face up appearance is critical. The medium intense color intensity places the gem in a sweet spot between muted tones and overly dark saturation, making it wearable for daily jewelry while still offering presence and character. Heat treatment is widely accepted among dealers and collectors, and when accompanied by good cut and polish it offers a significantly improved visual result compared to the rough state. Madagascar provenance adds contextual interest, as sapphires from this island are often noted for attractive hues and for being a responsible sourcing region when proper mine practices are followed.

Beyond the technical specifications this bluish green sapphire has a romantic story that matches its color and clarity, a narrative that we love to share with clients at The Natural Sapphire Company. Imagine a twilight shore where the sea blurs into the sky, a color that is neither purely blue nor simply green but a union of both, as if two lovers have come together to create a single new shade. The gem’s transparent nature and very slight inclusions speak to a love that is honest and open, with small, natural features that make it real and enduring rather than manufactured. Because it is heat treated and professionally cut and polished, it can be worn every day as a quiet promise, a token that will catch the light in the same way a familiar smile catches your eye. For a buyer seeking an object that unites sound gemological credentials with emotive resonance this sapphire offers provenance, polish, and a color story that will endure through years of wear.
