2.52 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 2.52 carat emerald cut green sapphire presents a balanced combination of size, proportion, and optical clarity, dimensions 7.34 x 6.74 x 5.13 mm, clarity grade eye clean as evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. The emerald cut favors broad facets and a generous table, which allows the stone to exhibit its green hue consistently across the surface while preserving weight from the rough. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, and its documented origin is Madagascar. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this stone with full disclosure of its characteristics, enabling a clear assessment of both aesthetic and gemological attributes.

Carat weight is a primary determinant of a natural sapphire s perceived rarity and value, and a 2.52 carat green sapphire occupies an important threshold. Stones above two carats are less common in natural material, particularly when combined with eye clean clarity and intense color, because larger rough crystals suitable for cutting must also possess uniform color and minimal internal zoning. In practical terms, the 2.52 carat weight increases rarity because cutters must retain more of the original crystal to achieve the emerald cut proportions that produce the best balance of color and light return. The result is a gem that reflects a higher degree of selectivity in sourcing and cutting, which contributes to its market value. In addition, the density of corundum means that a stone of these millimeter dimensions at 2.52 carats is well proportioned, indicating an efficient cut that maintains depth for color saturation without appearing overly deep in the face up view.

Beyond rarity, the 2.52 carat weight enhances both visual presence and long term desirability. The emerald cut emphasizes clean lines and step facets, delivering a controlled brilliance that showcases the stone s green tone rather than overpowering it with scintillation. Eye clean clarity at this weight permits close inspection without visible inclusions, which is a distinguishing factor for collectors and for settings intended to highlight the material itself. The absence of enhancement preserves the natural character of the stone and supports provenance based valuation, particularly for material from Madagascar where distinctive color signatures are valued. Excellent polish further refines the surface finish, improving light return at facet junctions and contributing to the overall perceived quality. For practical considerations in jewelry design and appraisal, a 2.52 carat emerald cut green sapphire of these dimensions will command attention in a solitaire or halo setting while remaining manageable for secure mounting, and it represents a notable example of material that combines intrinsic gemological merits with the scale that elevates its rarity and market significance. The Natural Sapphire Company provides documentation and expertise to substantiate these attributes, enabling informed selection and appraisal.
