      Nigerian Sapphires — Ethically Sourced, Naturally Untreated

      Sapphires from Nigeria are anything but ordinary. They glow with a grounded intensity—rich teal blues, vivid lemon-limes, soft opalescent greens, even deep peacock tones with silk and sheen. These gems carry the warmth of the land they come from, often showing a natural glow that feels equal parts earthy and electric.

      At Caleb B. Quashen, our Nigerian sapphires are all untreated—no heat, no enhancements, just the raw, rare beauty of the stone as it came out of the ground. We work directly with small-scale miners and trusted partners who respect the value of ethical sourcing and local craftsmanship.

      Expect to find:

      • Color-rich sapphires with incredible natural saturation

      • Unheated stones with full-spectrum glow and texture

      • Unique shapes and custom cuts that highlight natural personality

      These are stones for designers and collectors who want something unexpected, rare, and real.

      For those who believe true beauty doesn’t need permission—or polish.
