1.19 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

One beautiful transparent 1.19 carat cushion shape green sapphire, dimensions 6.37 x 5.42 x 3.87 mm, presented in a designer cut that balances modern facet architecture with classical cushion proportions. The cut combines a modified brilliant crown with a carefully proportioned pavilion to maximize light return and controlled extinction, creating lively scintillation and a clean window into the stone. Clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the inclusions are minute and well positioned, supporting strong transparency and allowing internal light paths to remain uninterrupted. Color registers as light intensity green, and the designer faceting intentionally concentrates tone in the pavilion to produce perceived color depth without sacrificing brightness. Excellent polish on facet junctions ensures crisp facet reflections and minimal surface aberrations, and the sapphire is entirely natural with no enhancement recorded, from Madagascar, a source known for producing finely crystallized corundum with well defined crystal habits.

In historical perspective, this sapphire offers qualities that resonate with famous gemstones while maintaining its own distinct value. Unlike the large, deeply saturated blue of the Logan Sapphire, and unlike the star phenomena of the Star of India, this gem emphasizes transparent, delicate green tone and crystalline purity, traits more akin to the refined table-cut stones seen in period jewellery where clarity and fire were paramount. Compared with many historical emeralds, which often show higher saturation but more pronounced inclusions and oil treatments, this Madagascar sapphire delivers superior durability with Mohs hardness nine and natural clarity without enhancement, making it exceptionally wearable and resilient. For collectors and connoisseurs who value provenance, transparency, and untouched material, this piece is a rare intersection of fine cutting, natural color, and eye-clean clarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recognize the collector who appreciates technical nuance, and this 1.19 carat cushion green sapphire exemplifies meticulous cutting strategy and untreated origin, offering a distinct alternative to famous stones of the past while providing lasting performance in jewellery and lasting appeal in a curated collection.
