1.05 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Tanzania

This transparent 1.05 carat oval shape yellowish green sapphire from Tanzania measures 6.34 by 5.30 by 3.57 millimeters, and is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to balance table brilliance with pavilion light return. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, this stone displays no visible inclusions to the naked eye, an important quality factor for collectors and high end jewelry, and it has an intense color intensity coupled with an excellent polish. Importantly for the educated buyer, this sapphire is completely untreated, no enhancement, which preserves its natural chemistry and optical properties, and enhances both collectability and long term value compared with the large proportion of heat treated material commonly seen in the market. As corundum, sapphire rates nine on the Mohs hardness scale, giving this piece practical durability for daily wear in rings or pendants, while the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize face up color and fire within the compact proportions of a 1.05 carat oval, making it an ideal candidate for bespoke settings.

When comparing this yellowish green Tanzanian sapphire to famous gemstones in history, it is useful to consider differences in color rarity and treatment history. The great blue sapphires such as the Logan Sapphire and the Star of India are celebrated for dramatic saturated blues, often of larger size and with distinctive historical provenance, and many classical examples have been subjected to historical treatments or have been prized specifically for their intense blue tones. By contrast, greenish and yellowish green sapphires occupy a narrower niche in the market, with fewer untreated examples of intense color available, giving this stone a unique appeal similar to the way certain historically prized gems like natural padparadscha sapphires attracted collectors for their unusual hues. The unenhanced nature of this Tanzanian sapphire aligns it with the prized category of natural color gems that command attention from connoisseurs, and its eye clean clarity and excellent cutting workmanship allow the color to present vividly under varied lighting. For a buyer seeking a piece with documented origin, natural color, and the optical precision of a well executed mixed brilliant cut, this sapphire represents a refined and rarer choice, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to provide certification guidance and bespoke mounting options to showcase its particular strengths.
