1.12 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Madagascar

This is a rare and singular gem from the very best of Madagascar, a transparent 1.12 carat emerald cut bi color sapphire, measuring 5.56 by 5.20 by 3.95 millimeters, offered exclusively through The Natural Sapphire Company. Its emerald cut gives a crisp, architectural silhouette, with precise step facets and an excellent polish that accentuates the stone s innate clarity. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, meaning it appears clean to the naked eye while retaining the natural character collectors prize. The color intensity is medium intense, and most importantly this sapphire has received no enhancement, a fact that elevates its rarity and desirability in a market where heat treatment is common. This single example represents an opportunity to own a naturally formed bi color sapphire that transitions through delicate, contoured zones of color, a piece that reads as both contemporary and timeless in the same breath.

In tone and hue this bi color sapphire offers a dialogue with the great sapphire producing regions of the world, while standing confidently on its own. Where a classic Kashmir sapphire is celebrated for a deep, velvety cornflower blue with a silky diffusion that seems to glow from within, this Madagascar stone favors a clearer, more crystalline blue that leans toward cool aqua and soft teal at different angles. Compared to the celebrated Ceylon sapphires of Sri Lanka, which often present a lighter, bright sky blue with lively saturation, this gem offers a slightly deeper, more contemplative medium intensity, with visible bi color zoning that brings a greenish-blue counterpoint not commonly seen in single hue Ceylon stones. Against Australian sapphires that often lean to an inky, nocturnal blue and Montana sapphires that frequently explore greenish teal and stone blue ranges, this Madagascar gem bridges the worlds, carrying a freshness and translucence akin to a coastal lagoon while retaining a jewel like depth when viewed face up.

The emerald cut is an inspired choice for a bi color sapphire, because the long, linear facets emphasize the stone s color transition, allowing the eye to travel across the plane of the gem and discover subtle shifts in tone. The excellent polish turns each step into a mirror, so the cooler aquamarine zones and the clearer, more saturated blue cores play against one another as the light changes. For collectors who revere provenance, the fact that this gem is unheated and from Madagascar gives it an immediate edge, Madagascar being known for producing parti colored and bi color sapphires with unusual zoning and distinct character. The very slightly included clarity grade confirms that the stone is durable and wearable, without the need for compromise between beauty and practicality. Set as a solitaire in platinum or as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring, pendant, or cufflink suite, this sapphire will read as a crafted rarity, a gem to be passed down as an heirloom rather than a trend piece.

Owning this emerald cut Madagascar bi color sapphire means entering a select circle of connoisseurs who choose authenticity and individuality. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a one of a kind statement, a natural phenomenon preserved in precise cutting and polish, and offered with the assurance of unenhanced origin. If you seek a stone that converses with Kashmir s velvety tradition yet remains unmistakably of Madagascar, that sits between Ceylon s brightness and Australia s depth, and that offers Montana like greenish notes within a jewel tone blue, this sapphire is exceptional. It is scarce, it is beautifully proportioned at 1.12 carats, and it is ready to be set into a bespoke design that will celebrate its rare bi color personality.
