0.85 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.85 carat, transparent oval green sapphire from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, is presented with precise dimensions of 6.68 by 5.07 by 2.74 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. The mixed brilliant faceting is a deliberate geometric approach that marries a brilliant-style crown with a faceted pavilion often incorporating step elements, the result being optimized light performance, lively scintillation and a balanced depth of color. The oval outline maximizes face-up presence relative to its carat weight, while the stone’s measured proportions yield a harmonious balance between brilliance and body color, allowing the internal light return to dance across the table and crown facets. Because the stone is entirely untreated, with no enhancement, the intense green you see is natural to the crystal and reflects its Sri Lankan terroir.

Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating fine, minor internal characteristics that do not detract from the gem’s transparency or its ability to transmit and refract light, they are more apparent under magnification than to the unaided eye. The excellent polish enhances facet junction crispness and surface reflection, further maximizing sparkle and giving the green tones an appealing satiny sheen. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their clear, vivid hues and consistently good crystal quality, and an untreated, well-cut example like this holds both aesthetic and collectible value for informed buyers. For setting, an open prong or low bezel will allow maximum light to enter and exit the pavilion, emphasizing the mixed brilliant faceting and the sapphire’s scintillation. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem’s provenance and characteristics, and we can provide additional gemological documentation on request, making this oval green sapphire an excellent choice for a bespoke engagement piece, a refined ring, or as part of a curated gemstone collection.
