1.17 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

Born from the ancient metamorphic heart of Madagascar, this transparent bluish green sapphire carries a story that reaches back across time, formed under pressures and heat that predate recorded history. When the rough stone was first found by local miners, it was one of many hidden gifts in river gravels and alluvial deposits, yet its tone hinted at something exceptional. Carefully liberated from the earth by hands steeped in regional knowledge, the rough was sent to master cutters who saw potential in its broad crystal form. They chose a radiant cut to balance brilliance and depth, faceting each plane to awaken its intense color and to preserve its natural transparency, weighing 1.17 carat and measuring 6.53 by 5.35 by 3.91 mm, the gem displays a clarity graded very slightly included at eye level, and an intense color intensity that shifts between blue and green as light moves across its facets.

At The Natural Sapphire Company the journey continued with meticulous evaluation and a commitment to authenticity, no enhancement was applied to alter its inherent beauty. Skilled polishers brought the surface to an excellent finish that maximizes light return, while independent grading confirmed the faceted, radiant shape and the natural origin of the stone in Madagascar.
