Gemstone grading is a crucial factor when considering the quality and value of a gemstone. In terms of clarity, this green sapphire holds a grade of slightly included, as evaluated at eye level. This means that under normal viewing conditions, its inclusions are minimal and do not significantly detract from its overall appearance. Slight inclusions are typical in natural sapphires and do not affect their value as they do in some other types of gemstones. Instead, they authenticate the stone’s natural origin, offering further credence to its geological history and unique formation process. The presence of slight inclusions often serves as a fingerprint of a natural gemstone, adding to its character and authenticity while offering assurances to the buyer of its natural formation as opposed to a synthesized counterpart.

This green sapphire is sourced from Madagascar, a location renowned for producing some of the world's finest sapphires. Madagascar's sapphires are highly esteemed for their unique color characteristics and exceptional quality. As origin plays a significant role in valuing sapphires, it is worth highlighting that Madagascan sapphires share the same echelon of prestige associated with blue sapphires from Kashmir or Burma. For an educated buyer, this information not only enriches the narrative of owning a Madagascar sapphire but also enhances the potential future value of this gemstone, should the rarity of such stones increase over time. Our green sapphire comes with an excellent polish, meaning that the surface is smooth and flawless, allowing each facet to reflect light brilliantly, an attribute reserved for stones of the highest quality.

When considering the durability of this sapphire, it is essential to reference the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Sapphire ranks at an impressive 9 on this scale, second only to diamond, indicating its robustness and suitability for everyday wear. This characteristic guarantees resistance against scratching and damage, promising longevity and sustained beauty throughout lifetimes. As such, this sapphire not only matches up to expectations of visual allure but exceeds them in terms of practical durability, making it a perfect choice for an heirloom or an engagement setting. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are committed to offering only the finest gemstones that meet our stringent quality standards. This green sapphire is an embodiment of that promise, showcasing both aesthetic beauty and substantive value. It represents not only a wise investment but also a legacy of elegance and sophistication that can be cherished for generations.
