0.87 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

I understand that when you search for a gemstone you want rarity, integrity, and a story that belongs only to that stone, and this 0.87 carat emerald cut green sapphire answers that search completely. Its crisp emerald cut measures 6.85 x 4.99 x 2.94 mm, and its clean, transparent face reveals a depth of vivid green with intense color intensity, an excellent polish, and a clarity grade assessed as very slightly included at eye level. This sapphire is entirely natural, no enhancement, a trait that collectors and brides alike prize, and it originates from the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka. If you are seeking a piece that will bring lifelong satisfaction, whether for an engagement ring that will be worn daily or a collector addition that will become a family heirloom, this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company is the resolution to your search, combining visual drama with geological authenticity.

Imagine a journey that began millions of years ago deep beneath the earth, long before human hands shaped metal or set stones, a slow and patient making that produced this exact green sapphire. In the furnace of the planet, under sustained pressure and elevated temperatures, aluminum oxide slowly crystallized into corundum, forming the robust mineral that becomes sapphire. At the crucial moment of crystal growth, minute quantities of trace elements entered the lattice, iron blending with subtle traces of other elements to coax the stone toward the expressive green you see today. Over epochs, tectonic forces lifted the bedrock, and cycles of erosion and weathering set the crystal free, allowing it to travel, first buried in metamorphic host rocks, and later perhaps mingling with river gravels that polished its external contours. That geological biography leaves fingerprints, the inclusions that tell of its authenticity, telling you that this gem is not a modern creation, but a relic of deep time, embellished by the earth and then perfected by the human hand.

When you hold this emerald cut green sapphire, you hold a gem that blends the ancient and the refined, a stone whose geometry was chosen to maximize the clarity and the vividness inherent in the rough. The emerald cut showcases the rich green with elegant linear facets, creating a calm, architectural sparkle that suits both classic and contemporary settings, making it ideal for a solitaire engagement ring, a cultured cocktail ring, or a collector display that celebrates natural provenance. The excellent polish ensures the light travels freely through the stone, while the very slightly included clarity reassures you of its natural origin and uniqueness. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that your quest is not for an ordinary gem, but for a gem that completes a story, and this 0.87 carat Ceylon green sapphire completes that story with unrivaled honesty, enduring beauty, and a provenance you can trust.
