2.23 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

There is a particular majesty that comes with gemstones that have endured the slow and patient processes of the earth, and this green sapphire is a modern emissary of that ancient narrative, available through The Natural Sapphire Company. This transparent 2.23 carat cushion shape sapphire measures 7.15 x 6.55 x 5.00 mm, it carries a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with classical form, and it presents an intense color intensity with an excellent polish that elevates its presence. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distances, this stone reveals itself as visually pure, yet it retains the quiet testimony of its geologic journey in the unseen details. Originating in Madagascar, a land that has provided some of the world s most celebrated sapphires, this gem arrives unaltered by heat or other enhancements, a rare and honest offering for collectors and lovers of authentic, natural beauty.

What truly sets this sapphire apart, and what gives it an unmistakable signature, are the microscopic inclusions that reveal themselves only to those who look closely under magnification, these internal features do not compromise the gem s transparent clarity, yet they tell the story of pressure, temperature, and time that formed the crystal. Fine silk like rutile filaments, minute mineral crystals, and subtle growth zoning create a fingerprint that is unique to this stone, a pattern of internal architecture that gemologists and connoisseurs read as a record of place and process. In Madagascar, sapphires form in dynamic environments where shifting mineralogy and fluid chemistry imprint tiny landmarks within each crystal, and this sapphire bears those marks as a badge of provenance. These inclusions catch the light in intimate ways when examined closely, producing delicate flashes and internal textures that give the gem personality, and they transform a superbly cut, eye clean sapphire into an object with history and identity.

The mixed brilliant cut and cushion shape make this sapphire a bridge between historic elegance and contemporary brilliance, the cushion silhouette recalls antique jewels that have been treasured across generations, while the brilliant facet arrangement injects lively sparkle into the stone s performance. With dimensions of 7.15 x 6.55 x 5.00 mm, the pavilion depth and table relationship have been optimized to showcase the intense green color without sacrificing light return, and the excellent polish ensures each facet boundary is crisp and reflective. The green hue is rich and saturated, evoking deep forest greens and the cool profundity of shaded glades, yet the stone remains transparent and alive, communicating color rather than opacity. Because this sapphire is unenhanced, its intense green is an expression of natural chemistry alone, an authenticity that appeals to those who prize geological truth and long term stability in fine gems.

Sapphires have been held in esteem for millennia, associated with protection, wisdom, and enduring loyalty, and a green sapphire of this quality offers an opportunity to connect modern jewelry with those enduring themes. Whether set into a bespoke engagement ring, a pendant intended to become an heirloom, or a ring designed to celebrate a milestone, this cushion green sapphire lends itself to classical settings that highlight its shape and to contemporary designs that frame its vivid color. The hardness and durability that sapphire brings make it well suited to everyday wear, while the eye clean clarity assures that the stone will present a luminous face to the world. As with cherished family jewels from eras past, a thoughtfully designed setting will preserve the stone s beauty and allow the subtle internal signatures to be enjoyed when examined, giving the wearer a private intimacy with the gem s story.
