Earth-mined dark blue sapphire weighing 6.26ct ETW in an oval cabochon cut from Africa, featuring opaque clarity and unheated character.

This sapphire displays deep dark blue coloration in a classic oval shape. Its smooth polished surfaces emphasize the gemstone's rich color and solid appearance rather than the brilliance associated with faceted stones.

Sapphire belongs to the corundum mineral family and is highly valued for its exceptional hardness and durability. While transparent faceted sapphires are popular in fine jewelry, opaque cabochon varieties offer a distinctive alternative with a bold, understated appearance.

This specimen is unheated, retaining its naturally occurring dark blue coloration without heat enhancement.

At 6.26 carats and measuring 11.0 x 9.5 x 5.5 mm, this sapphire offers attractive proportions for a custom pendant, ring, or collector's display. Its oval cabochon shape works particularly well in a protective bezel setting.

Sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, making it one of the most durable natural gemstones and highly suitable for jewelry. Its polished cabochon finish further emphasizes its natural color and character.

This individual African sapphire combines deep blue coloration, substantial size, and classic cabochon styling in a distinctive earth-mined gemstone.
