The beguiling beauty of this 10.19 carat green sapphire is not just a visual delight, but a testament to the magnificent processes of nature over millions of years. This particular gemstone, with its origins deep within the earth's crust in Madagascar, was formed under conditions of intense heat and pressure. As the tectonic plates shifted and volcanic activity surged, mineral-rich fluids began to crystallize slowly and steadily within the Earth. Over time, these crystallized forms matured into the sapphire's corundum structure, resulting in a stone that is as durable as it is captivating.
The transparent green sapphire you see before you boasts a substantial size, measuring an impressive 13.83 x 11.12 x 7.31 mm. Expert cutting has allowed for a mixed brilliant cut, which is designed to enhance the gemstone's natural luster and brilliance, accentuating its already striking presence. Its clarity grade is noted as included, meaning that while there are some natural inclusions visible at eye level, they do not significantly detract from the stone’s allure. Instead, they serve as a reminder of the intricate history and journey this gemstone has undergone.
What sets this green sapphire apart is its medium intense color intensity. Green sapphires are revered for their distinctive hue, which varies widely depending on their geographic origin and the environmental factors to which they have been subjected. The green of this particular sapphire is reminiscent of lush, untouched wilderness. Coupled with an excellent polish, this gemstone reflects light with profound depth, ensuring that each viewing reveals new facets and qualities. The heat treatment applied enhances the intensity of the color and overall appearance, allowing the gemstone to reach its optimal beauty while still bearing the marks of its natural formation.
The history behind this gemstone, tracked back to its rich origin in Madagascar, adds a layer of intrigue and value that is genuine and rare. Madagascar is known for producing sapphires that possess notable clarity and vibrant colors, characteristics praised globally among gemstone enthusiasts and collectors.
