2.02 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This oval green sapphire weighs 2.02 carats, and measures 8.11 by 6.62 by 4.52 millimeters, a proportion that yields a length to width ratio of approximately 1.23, a classical oval silhouette that flatters both solitary and multi stone settings, the cutter chose a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, combining brilliant style facets in the crown with broader step cut facets in the pavilion, this approach increases scintillation on hand movement while retaining depth of color through controlled light leakage, the pavilion depth of 4.52 millimeters relative to the average girdle diameter of 7.365 millimeters produces a depth percentage of approximately 61.4 percent, a dimension that supports optimal light return and an even table distribution, the stone is transparent with a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions are minor internal characteristics that do not compromise the gem visually at typical viewing distances, the polish is excellent, with crisp facet junctions and a smooth girdle that facilitate precision mounting, the sapphire has been heat treated, a standard enhancement for corundum that stabilizes and intensifies hue and saturation while improving apparent clarity, this material originated in Madagascar, a source known for producing sapphires with attractive green and bluish green tones.

Color is the defining attribute of this gem, the overall color intensity is classified as intense, the primary hue is a true green with cool bluish undertones that become more apparent at certain viewing angles, this slight pleochroic behavior is typical for corundum and contributes dynamic character under changing light, the saturation is strong without entering overly dark territory, and the tone sits in a medium to medium deep range, the mixed brilliant cut supports both dispersion and broad flash, the crown facets break light into play and scintillation, while the pavilion planes concentrate chromatic saturation and reduce washout, the result is a lively gem that displays both crisp white flashes and rich color flashes, the excellent polish ensures that these flashes are clean and well defined, under magnification the very slightly included clarity shows pinpoint and feather like features consistent with natural origin and with heat treatment that has reduced the visibility of some internal features, these inclusions do not affect durability, the hardness of corundum at nine on the Mohs scale makes this sapphire ideally suited for everyday wear, heat treatment in this instance is stable and permanent when conducted to industry standards, it improves both color uniformity and transparency, and it is fully disclosed by The Natural Sapphire Company.
