1.36 ct Blue Sapphire - Cushion

This 1.36-carat sapphire is cut as a cushion measuring 6.5 x 5.5 x 4.4 mm, with a blue body color, sourced from Nigeria.

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. Nigeria is an increasingly important sapphire source, much of it fine enough to need no treatment at all. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

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. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
