6.96 Ct. Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This C.Dunaigre certified green sapphire from Madagascar presents a rare combination of scale, clarity, and cutting precision, at 6.96 carats and measuring 12.49 x 9.54 x 6.91 millimeters. The stone exhibits an intense green color intensity, with a well balanced saturation that remains vivid across the table and through the pavilion, and it has been heat treated to stabilize and enhance that tone. Clarity is graded as eye clean at eye level, meaning there are no inclusions visible to the unaided eye under normal viewing, which allows the color and cut to be appreciated without visual distraction. The provenance and laboratory verification provided by C.Dunaigre add verifiable value and traceability, and The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to offer this gemstone as a certified example of high quality Madagascar material.

The gem is fashioned as an oval with a mixed brilliant cut, a faceting strategy that combines a brilliant style crown with a modified pavilion, designed to optimize both lively scintillation and saturated color delivery. The cutter has oriented the pavilion facets and crown angles to manage pleochroism, aligning the principal optical axes so that the dominant green is delivered to the observer while minimizing light leakage. With an overall depth of 6.91 millimeters and an effective depth percentage of 62.8 percent relative to the average of the length and width, the proportions sit in a range that balances depth driven color concentration with efficient light return. Facet junctions present crisp, well defined intersections, the table facet is proportioned to allow broad color field views while retaining faceted brilliance, and the polish is assessed as excellent, which enhances light transmission and surface reflectivity.

From a design and investment perspective the combination of near seven carats and eye clean clarity makes this sapphire ideal for a statement piece, especially solitary and halo ring designs that showcase both size and internal clarity. The substantial face up dimensions create a commanding presence on the finger, and the mixed brilliant faceting ensures that movement produces both flashes of brilliance and sustained color flashes, attributes that translate exceptionally well into solitary settings in platinum or high karat gold. Because the material is heat treated, the enhancement is stable and widely accepted in the trade, and the clean interior means that minimal setting work is required to present the gem at its best. For collectors or designers seeking a marquee center stone that reads as both gemologically robust and visually dramatic, this Madagascar green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company combines ethical documentation, expert cutting, and marketable physical attributes in a single, immediately wearable package.
