1.01 ct Blue Sapphire - Round

At 1.01 carats, this sapphire from Madagascar carries its blue color through a round cut, measuring 5.4 x 4.1 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Madagascar has become a major modern sapphire source, fine material across nearly every color at more reachable prices than the classic localities. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
