1.09 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare treasure, weighing 1.09 carats, and measuring 6.71 x 5.61 x 3.37 mm, in a classic oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut. The stone is transparent with a clarity grade of included, evaluated at eye level, showing character without compromising its luminous performance. What makes this piece exceptional is the way its corundum crystal structure collaborates with expert cutting to produce an unmatched sparkle. Corundum has a naturally high refractive index, and when precisely faceted in a mixed brilliant pattern, light is captured, refracted, and returned as crisp scintillation. The pavilion facets act like a mirror network, while the crown facets disperse light into lively flashes, and subtle pleochroism lends shifting green and yellow notes as the gem turns, creating a depth of fire and life that many sapphires cannot match.

Beyond its optical brilliance, this sapphire is distinguished by its rarity in both size and color, especially for an untreated stone from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Green sapphires of this clear medium intensity and over one carat in weight are uncommon, and to find one with no enhancement and an excellent polish is even rarer. The inclusions present at eye level give this gem a unique fingerprint, a natural pedigree that collectors prize, and the medium color intensity offers a refined, versatile green that reads as elegant in daylight and regal under evening light. Availability is limited, and ownership confers a sense of exclusivity reserved for a select few who value provenance, natural beauty, and artisanal cutting. When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, you are choosing a piece that is simultaneously a statement and an heirloom, a rare Ceylon gem whose inherent structure and masterful cut deliver a brilliance and personality that few stones can rival.
