This Madagascar sapphire presents a deep, richly saturated dark teal color with a moody, atmospheric quality characteristic of Madagascar parti corundum. The oval face shows a near-inky depth of color with hints of both deep blue and forest green visible through the facets, producing a color that shifts subtly with the light while maintaining its powerfully saturated dark character. At 9x7mm the stone has excellent face presence, and the SI clarity is well-masked by the dense, deep color.
Madagascar is one of the world's leading sapphire origins, producing a diverse range of colors from classic blue through to vivid teal and blue-green parti tones. This stone has been heat treated to optimize its color, following the standard and accepted practice in the sapphire trade. At 2.09ct and 9x7mm oval, it is an excellent size for a solitaire ring, pendant centerpiece, or earring pair where a deep, dark teal sapphire with genuine natural intensity is the goal.

About sapphire
Sapphire is corundum in every color except red. At 9 on the Mohs scale it is second only to diamond, and it is also very tough with no cleavage, so it rarely chips or splits when knocked. Together that makes it one of the most durable gemstones for everyday wear, rings included.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are usually fine for a faceted sapphire, but skip them if the stone has fissures that reach the surface.
Wear and storage
Sapphire is very hard, so it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Only diamond can scratch it, so keep it apart from diamonds and store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This sapphire is heated, and the color from heating is stable. Sapphire handles normal setting, re-tipping and polishing well. If the stone has fissures that reach the surface, keep it out of direct torch flame and acid pickle.
