1.67 Ct. Green Sapphire from Australia

If you are seeking a single stone that answers both the heart and the eye, this 1.67 carat green sapphire is designed to end that search. The gem presents a refined fancy shape, with exact dimensions of 8.70 x 6.20 x 4.13 mm, a classic step cut, and an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, which means the color and form are uninterrupted by visible inclusions. Vivid color intensity gives this Australian sapphire a saturated, compelling green that reads as both deep and lively under natural light, and an excellent polish ensures every facet moves light with smooth, mirror like reflections. For an engagement ring that feels both modern and timeless, or for a collector who values rare tone and exceptional finish, this sapphire is a complete solution, ready to be set into any style of jewelry that requires a confident focal point.

Technically refined and naturally beautiful, this stone was heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that brings the full green spectrum to the surface without compromising long term durability. The step cut used on this piece emphasizes broad, flat facets and large planes of color, which creates a hall of mirrors effect that showcases the vivid hue more than it scatters flashes. The excellent polish elevates that effect, giving crisp facet junctions and clean reflective planes. The eye clean clarity means light travels through the stone with minimal obstruction, producing even color distribution and a depth that invites lingering inspection. The overall proportions and finish speak directly to a customer who wants a sapphire that performs both as jewelry and as a specimen, a gem that will stand up to daily wear while still offering the quiet luxury collectors demand.

When compared to other gemstones in its category, this green sapphire has a distinctive approach to reflection and light return. Against other sapphires, especially those cut in brilliant or mixed cuts, the step cut of this piece trades the intense scintillation and many small twinkles for elegant, broad flashes and a controlled, sophisticated brightness. That means the gem reads as richer and more architectural, rather than sparkling in a lively, broken way. Compared to green tourmaline, which often presents a glassy luster and a brighter, more sugary sparkle, this sapphire displays a denser, more saturated reflection profile that feels more substantial on the finger. Versus emeralds, which typically have a softer, more velvety glow because of surface reaching inclusions and different internal structure, the sapphire offers greater clarity and a cleaner light return, even though it maintains a deep, green character. Against green garnets like tsavorite, which can be extremely lively and brilliant due to higher dispersion, the sapphire remains more measured and refined, showing color and depth rather than overt fire. For buyers who want a green stone that balances color depth, structural elegance, and long term wearability, this sapphire’s reflective language is persuasive and uniquely suited to both everyday elegance and high end collecting.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that choosing the right stone is an emotional and practical decision, and this Australian green sapphire answers both needs with confidence. Its weight of 1.67 carat and dimensions provide a noticeable presence without overwhelming, the fancy shape gives options for both traditional and bespoke settings, and the combination of vivid color intensity, eye clean clarity, step cut, and excellent polish makes it an ideal centerpiece for an engagement ring or a prized addition to a collection. Heat treatment is disclosed and consistent with industry practice to present the gem at its best, and the origin from Australia adds provenance that many customers value. If your aim is to find a green sapphire whose reflective qualities are at once dramatic and refined, whose construction favors color and depth over excessive scintillation, and whose overall balance assures daily wear and display, then this stone will conclude your search.
