1.50 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Australia

From the ancient alluvial terraces of Australia to a carefully lit display in our gallery, this 1.50 carat radiant shape yellowish green sapphire carries a story that spans epochs. Formed under pressures and temperatures that predate recorded history, the rough crystal was discovered in a remote Australian deposit, where generations of miners have long known where the earth yields its most subtle treasures. We traced its rough origins by the feel of its matrix and the subtle zoning in its crystal structure, then selected it for its rare transparency and the way its green and yellow tones promise depth rather than surface flash. At 6.14 by 6.13 by 4.26 millimeters, the stone presented the ideal proportions for a radiant cut, a classic faceting style chosen to honor both brilliance and architectural symmetry. The cutting process was entrusted to a master cutter who balanced traditional lapidary techniques with modern precision, producing an excellent polish that allows light to dance through the pavilion and table, revealing intense color and a clarity grade of eye clean when evaluated at eye level.

When we at The Natural Sapphire Company received the finished gem, the final step was honest disclosure. The sapphire has undergone gentle heat treatment, a time honored method used for centuries to stabilize and intensify color, a practice aligned with the legacy of gem craftsmen who sought to show a stone at its truest beauty. The result is an intensely colored, transparent gem that reads as both vintage and contemporary, suitable for an heirloom ring or a treasured pendant that will outlast fashions. This stone is a testament to continuity, from primordial formation to human hands, a bridge between the geological past and the lives yet to wear it. For those who value tradition, provenance, and enduring design, this yellowish green radiant sapphire offers a tangible connection to the long history of gemstone craft, a jewel whose journey from mine to market is as rich and considered as the legacy it is destined to become.
