As a representative of The Natural Sapphire Company I am pleased to introduce a truly exceptional and rare green sapphire that will appeal to the most discerning collectors and connoisseurs. This transparent oval sapphire weighs 3.81 carats and measures 10.84 x 8.68 x 5.24 mm, a size and shape that is simultaneously classic and commanding. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, it combines the scintillating fire of brilliant facet arrangements with the depth and range of step cutting to create a gem that seems to glow from within. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that to the naked eye its surface and interior appear pristine, allowing light to pass and scatter with extraordinary purity. The color is intense, a green that reads as vivid and alive, enhanced by a professional heat treatment that stabilizes and elevates its natural hue while preserving the gem s inherent character. Originating from Madagascar, a locale known for producing sapphires of remarkable tone and provenance, this stone arrives to you as a finite offering from a limited source, a piece of nature that is not easily replicated.
What sets this sapphire apart, what elevates it into an elite class, is the intimate relationship between its crystal structure and the artistry of its cutting. Corundum, the mineral family to which sapphire belongs, has a dense and orderly atomic lattice that gives it a naturally high refractive index and strong light return. What the cutter has done here is to honor that structure, using a mixed brilliant cut to choreograph every photon that enters the gem. The pavilion facets act like mirrors that guide light back through the crown, while the crown facets break that light into countless flashes. Because the stone is transparent and very very slightly included at eye level, there are minimal internal obstructions to diffuse or dull light. Instead the result is an intense ballet of brilliance and scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut introduces a finely tuned balance between large flashes of brightness and a myriad of smaller starburst scintillations, creating a living surface that responds to movement, light angle, and proximity. The excellent polish further amplifies this effect, sharpening facet junctions and creating crisp reflections that translate into a sparkle that feels both lively and controlled. The intense green color itself participates in the display, acting as a saturated stage upon which light plays, imparting both depth and immediacy. In calm light the gem reveals deep internal color and subtle green nuances, while under brighter illumination it comes alive with lively white flashes and occasional scintillating color flashes that speak to its superior facet arrangement and optical harmony.
Owning this sapphire means joining a very select circle of collectors who value provenance, optical excellence, and rarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate and bring forward only those gems that combine natural beauty with technical distinction, and this 3.81 carat Madagascar green sapphire is a testament to that ethos. Its dimensions make it well suited for a single stone ring or a bespoke pendant where the mixed brilliant cut can be shown to full advantage, and our atelier offers fully bespoke mounting options that will allow this stone to be set in a design that honors its innate sparkle and exclusive nature. Because stones of this clarity, color intensity, cut quality, and origin are rarely available, this sapphire represents an opportunity to own a piece that is both an investment and an heirloom. If you seek a gem that delivers an unmatched light performance, that carries the quiet assurance of very very slight inclusion and excellent polish, and that marks you as part of an elite few who understand and appreciate exceptional natural gemstones, this piece awaits your decision. Contact The Natural Sapphire Company to discuss viewing options, bespoke settings, and certification details, and let us guide you in claiming a jewel that will be treasured for generations.
