2.55 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 2.55 carat asscher octagon green sapphire presents precise proportions and meticulous faceting, dimensions 7.81 x 7.05 x 4.75 mm, faceted in a classic asscher step style to produce a tight octagonal outline with cropped corners. The length to width ratio is approximately 1.11, producing a subtly elongated square profile that benefits from the asscher geometry. The faceting architecture emphasizes concentric step facets on the crown and pavilion, generating the characteristic hall of mirrors effect while preserving strong color saturation. The overall depth is approximately 64 percent, an optimized depth that balances light return with color concentration, and the excellent polish yields crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet surfaces. Clarity is graded as eye clean at normal viewing distance, indicating the absence of inclusions that would interfere with the visual performance, and the stone has been heat treated to enhance color uniformity, a stable and widely accepted enhancement for corundum, originating from Madagascar.

Compared with typical green sapphires of similar origin, this specimen is notably rare in both size and color intensity, a large transparent example with intense green saturation and eye clean clarity being uncommon in the market. Many green sapphires present darker tone, secondary hues, or higher inclusion levels at this weight, while the asscher octagon faceting seen here is less common on colored corundum, making this piece distinct for collectors and designers seeking a technical and aesthetic focal point. The combination of 2.55 carat weight, intense color intensity, asscher step faceting, excellent polish, and Madagascan provenance positions this sapphire at the premium end of available green material. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem is presented with full technical description to assist gemologists and experienced buyers in appraisal and design planning, and it is well suited to precision settings that require symmetry and strong color concentration. For clients seeking a rare, technically refined green sapphire with exceptional visual clarity and cutting integrity, this stone represents a scarce and compelling option.
