1.20 ct Blue Sapphire - Oval

At 1.2 carats, this sapphire from Madagascar carries its blue color through an oval cut, measuring 7 x 5 x 4.2 mm.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. Madagascar has become a major modern sapphire source, fine material across nearly every color at more reachable prices than the classic localities. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

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.
