1.10 Ct. Green Grandidierite from Madagascar

One beautiful transparent 1.10 carat cushion shape green grandidierite arrives as an emblem of rare taste, a stone that speaks in hushed tones of refinement and quiet power. The proportions are meticulous, measuring 6.68 x 6.33 x 3.91 mm, each facet cut to maximize the unique green that grandidierite offers, vivid in intensity yet layered with depth. Faceted and executed in a mixed brilliant cut, this gem captures light with a balance of fire and subtlety, producing flashes that reward both movement and still contemplation. Clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that confirms the gem as a natural testament to the earth rather than a laboratory replica, and the excellent polish ensures that every plane reflects light with a crisp, mirror like finish. There has been no enhancement, a pledge preserved from mine to market, that allows the true color and character of the stone to remain untouched. Originating from Madagascar, this grandidierite carries with it a provenance tied to one of the planet s most celebrated sources for extraordinary minerals, an origin that adds narrative and authenticity to ownership.

To hold this cushion shape grandidierite is to possess a study in nuance, its transparent body allowing for an inner glow that shifts with angle and light.

Its vivid green is neither loud nor fleeting, but rather a sustained, sumptuous tone that flatters and commands attention without ostentation. The slight inclusions, visible only to a practiced eye in certain lights, impart a signature that reinforces the gem s natural origin and individuality, a small map that tells of geological time and formation. The excellent polish amplifies the visual allure, making the gem feel alive against skin, and its dimensions provide a presence that is confident yet discreet, perfect for a single stone setting or as a central note in a carefully curated collection.
