1.41 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Africa

One exquisite, transparent 1.41 carat emerald cut greenish blue sapphire, dimensions 6.99 x 4.94 x 3.97 mm, clarity grade very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, enhancement heat treated, origin Africa. This gem is an immediate statement piece, the emerald cut chosen to emphasize depth of color and clarity, rather than rely on overt sparkle. The generous pavilion and crisp step facets create a calm, mirror like glow that reveals the stone in layers, inviting a closer look and rewarding the connoisseur with an experience that evolves with movement and light. Sourced and presented exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is the kind of offering that appears only rarely in our collection, a singular opportunity to own something truly distinguished.

Compared to more common gemstones such as standard cornflower blue sapphires, aquamarines, and round brilliant diamonds, this greenish blue sapphire stands apart because of its rare hue and the way it interacts with light. Round brilliants, including many diamonds, are engineered to maximize scintillation through numerous small facets, creating lively flashes and sharp contrast. This emerald cut sapphire, by contrast, offers broad, elegant flashes and a velvety internal depth that places color at the forefront. The intense color intensity of this stone means that its beauty is not dependent on flash alone, but on saturated, stable color that reads as both vivid and sophisticated. Aquamarines, while often lighter and airier, do not possess the same refractive strength and durability as sapphire, and conventional blue sapphires commonly favor pure blue tones. The subtle greenish blue of this gem is uncommon, giving it a distinctive personality that feels both modern and timeless, an ideal choice for a wearer who prefers refined presence over ubiquitous trend.

The combination of very slightly included clarity and excellent polish results in a gem that is visually clean at a glance, with internal characteristics that authenticate its natural origin and add character without distracting from its appearance. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance color, a standard and stable enhancement that brings out the best of the sapphire while preserving long term stability. The African origin contributes to the nuanced slate and teal undertones that distinguish this stone from more familiar sources, offering a palette that changes softly under different lighting conditions. At 1.41 carats and with the elegant proportions of 6.99 x 4.94 x 3.97 mm, this sapphire is perfectly suited to become the centerpiece of a bespoke engagement ring, a refined pendant, or a one of a kind heirloom commission. With only a few stones of this exact character available at any time, owning this piece places you in an exclusive circle of collectors and admirers who value rarity, provenance, and the quiet power of exceptional color.
