0.70 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent green sapphire weighs 0.70 carat and is presented in an asscher octagon shape, with precise dimensions of 4.53 x 4.47 x 3.32 mm. The asscher cut employs stepped facets that emphasize the stone clarity and produce a refined geometric brilliance, and the excellent polish further enhances light reflection across the pavilion and crown. The gem exhibits medium color intensity, a balanced green tone that reads consistently across the table and facets, and a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating minor internal characteristics that do not materially affect the gem transparency or visual appeal. This sapphire has no enhancement, a natural state that preserves its original optical and structural characteristics, making it well suited for fine jewelry settings that benefit from its measured proportions and clean faceting.

Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes significantly to the character and desirability of this sapphire, and provenance from this historic source is an important attribute for collectors and designers. Sri Lankan geology has produced sapphires with distinct hues and appealing combinations of color and clarity for centuries, and a natural, untreated sapphire from Ceylon often carries greater market interest due to that established reputation and the relative rarity of fully untreated material. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem is presented with attention to traceability and sourcing, reflecting our commitment to documented provenance and responsible procurement. The combination of an asscher octagon cut, very slightly included clarity at eye level, medium green color intensity, excellent polish, and the absence of enhancement yields a versatile, enduring gem that performs well as a center stone in bespoke rings and pendants, and that retains both aesthetic and historical value linked to its Ceylon origin.
