This 6.22 carat sapphire from Gombe, Nigeria shows a deep mix of teal, blue, and green with strong natural color zoning running through the stone. The tones shift between darker blue cores and greener edges depending on the light, giving it a layered, almost topographic feel rather than a flat color.
Cut in a custom poval (pear-oval hybrid) brilliant style, the shape softens the outline while still maintaining direction and length. The faceting adds controlled flashes of light while allowing the natural zoning and depth of color to remain visible.
Unheated and completely natural, the color is entirely a product of how the crystal formed, which is a key part of what gives Nigerian sapphires their distinctive character.
At over six carats, this stone carries real presence — not just in size, but in depth and tone.
A strong center stone for someone looking for a darker, moodier sapphire with structure, movement, and individuality.
