Expert Opinion
“A step cut works differently from a brilliant. Its facets are broad and parallel, so each one behaves like a small mirror: it returns either a bright flash or a dark plane, and which facets are bright changes as you move the stone or move your head. That is a play of light and dark, not a shift of colour — and it is why I ask people to look at a step cut in motion rather than in one photograph. The report prints Color Green for this stone, and teal is my own trade word for that colour rather than the laboratory’s. The report also prints No Indications of Heating.” — Ahmed Shareek, Crescent Gems

The report's Characteristics panel lists Mineral Corundum, Mohs Hardness 9 and Toughness Excellent — figures that describe the mineral species rather than measurements taken on this stone — and names September as the birthstone month for sapphire, the variety.
A GIA report of this class issues no clarity grade, no cut, polish or symmetry grade, and no colour qualifier, tone or saturation. Where this page gives any of those, the words are ours and say so.
Our Sourcing Record
Crescent Gems bought this stone as Madagascar material. That is our own purchase record and not a laboratory finding. Origin testing was not ordered for this report, which is why the origin field prints Not Requested rather than being absent — a GIA Sapphire Report can carry a geographic origin opinion when one is ordered, and none was ordered here. So the document carries no origin opinion at all, in either direction.
How a Step Cut Behaves
- The broad parallel facets of a step cut act like mirrors. Each returns either a bright flash or a dark plane, and which ones are bright changes as the stone moves.
- That is why a step cut reads differently in a still photograph than in the hand. Ask us for more images or video and judge it for yourself.
- We make no claim about what the cut does to this stone's colour. Colour is what the report prints: Green.
Buying Guidance
- If you check the report at reportcheck.gia.edu you will find Color: Green, Geographic Origin: Not Requested and Additional Results: No Indications of Heating. This page is written so that nothing on it is contradicted by that check.
- “Teal” on this page is our own trade word for the colour we see, and the report's own colour field prints Green with no qualifier, tone or saturation beside it.
- Read the treatment line as the report states it: the finding is about heating, and it is printed as No Indications of Heating. We describe the stone as unheated on that basis, which is our own shorthand for the printed finding.
- Clarity on this page is our own assessment — eye-clean face-up, with minor inclusions under magnification. A GIA report of this class issues no clarity grade, so no clarity wording here comes from the laboratory.
- Ask for more images or video under a single light source and look at the stone in motion before deciding.

Care
GIA publishes its own cleaning guidance for sapphire and attaches its own conditions to it. We prefer not to put a stone we did not set into an ultrasonic or steam cleaner, because we cannot see how the stone is held. That is our own preference, and not a warning carried on the report.
- Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush
- Store separately to avoid surface contact
- Remove before heavy physical activity
One of a Kind
We hold one of these and only one. It is a single natural stone, not a manufactured or laboratory-grown one, and once it sells we cannot replace it with the same stone. The stone you receive is the stone described on GIA Report 5231922096.
