0.87 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Smokey Quartz Pair from Madagascar

This matched pair of transparent smokey quartz from Madagascar exemplifies the qualities that discerning buyers seek, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The stones weigh 0.47 carats and 0.40 carats respectively, and are fashioned in classic emerald cut shapes, with precise dimensions of 6.03 x 4.05 x 2.91 mm and 6.02 x 4.04 x 2.63 mm. Both stones display a medium light brown color intensity that is well balanced for both contemporary and traditional jewelry designs. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, which means inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the visual performance of the gems. The polish is excellent, allowing clean facet junctions and bright surface reflection. A standard heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and enhance the color, a common and accepted enhancement in the trade that yields consistent results. Origin information from Madagascar adds provenance that is appreciated by collectors and gem professionals, as the island is known for producing high quality quartz varieties.

What sets these emerald cut smokey quartz apart is the combined effect of their crystalline structure, precision cutting, and surface finish, which together create a sparkle and optical presence that is exceptionally appealing. Quartz has a dense, orderly silica structure that, when cut with long, parallel step facets as in an emerald cut, produces controlled flashes of light and a refined play of tone. The step cut emphasizes clarity and color, creating a linear mirror like reflection that runs across the table and crown, and the very very slightly included clarity allows light to travel through the gems with minimal disturbance, so brilliance and transparency are preserved. Excellent polish enhances surface reflection and makes each facet act like a clear window for internal light movement. For an educated buyer this combination equals predictable performance, strong wearability due to quartz hardness, and a refined aesthetic that complements metals and design settings. These matched stones are ideal for a pair of earrings or a coordinated set, and their measured uniformity and documented origin support confident acquisition, from both a workmanship and an investment perspective.
