5.02 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 5.02 carat cushion shape green sapphire measures 9.74 x 8.10 x 6.67 mm, and represents a precise balance between weight retention and optical performance. The faceted cutting style is executed as a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant facet schema on the crown with a carefully proportioned pavilion to maximize return of light while preserving the intense color saturation intrinsic to this material. Clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which allows an effectively unobstructed light path and supports high contrast and crisp scintillation, and the surface finish is an excellent polish that minimizes light scatter and accentuates facet sharpness. The stone has been heat treated to stabilize tone and hue, and originates from Madagascar, a source known for intense green saturation in sapphire material. This listing is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, and it exemplifies our focus on technical cutting excellence and material provenance.

The mixed brilliant cut on this cushion shape amplifies the sapphire s intrinsic refractive properties through a deliberate facet architecture, the shallower crown facets deliver broad flash and color windows while the steeper pavilion facets create multiple internal reflections that enhance perceived brightness. By calibrating table size proportion and pavilion depth, the cutter reduces light leakage and promotes total internal reflection for the corundum refractive index, yielding a balance of pinpoint scintillation and broad flashes that reveal the stone s depth without sacrificing surface brilliance. The cushion outline softens light transitions, producing overlapping flashes across the gently rounded corners, and the excellent polish ensures that each facet plane acts as a precise mirror for incident light. Because the clarity is very very slightly included at eye level, the minor inclusions do not interrupt facet junctions, allowing uninterrupted light pathways that translate into sustained, lively fire and a saturated, evenly distributed green when viewed face up. The result is a technically refined gem that harmonizes mixed brilliant faceting, exacting proportions, and superior finish to maximize light reflection and color intensity, a combination that will satisfy discerning collectors and connoisseurs seeking a high performance Madagascar green sapphire.
