2.00 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 2.00 carat, emerald cut yellowish green sapphire measures 8.18 x 5.38 x 4.20 mm, with a total depth of approximately 61.9 percent, and it presents as a transparent, intensely colored specimen from Madagascar, supplied by The Natural Sapphire Company. The gem is fashioned in a classic rectangular step cut, with broad, parallel facets on the crown and pavilion that create a striking hall of mirrors effect. The faceting plan emphasizes long linear reflections along the length of the stone, producing crisp light return and an elegant interplay of broad color planes. The table is proportioned to balance windowing and color saturation, while the pavilion steps are calibrated to maintain strong internal light return without sacrificing the transparency that allows the yellowish green hue to read clearly from each angle. Surface finish is of the highest standard, described as excellent polish, resulting in sharp facet junctions and a smooth, reflective surface that enhances both brilliance and luster.

Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and this status has been preserved because the sapphire has not undergone any enhancement. The minor inclusions are pinpoint or fine needles that are well positioned and cosmetically unobtrusive, they do not interrupt the optical pathways through the step facets, and they do not compromise durability. Because the stone is unheated and untreated, the internal characteristics act as natural fingerprints, confirming provenance and authenticity. The intense color intensity is a carefully balanced yellowish green, with enough saturation to read vividly in daylight, while also showing subtle shifts depending on orientation and light source. The cutting orientation was chosen to maximize the most desirable yellow green tones inherent in this Madagascar material, and the result is a stone that offers consistent color across the crown, with slightly deeper color along the central step planes. The overall proportions and the careful execution of the step cut minimize windowing and maintain an open, clean face up appearance, making this sapphire ideal for settings that showcase rectangular geometry and precise lines.

Beyond the technical attributes, this sapphire carries a romantic narrative rooted in its color and clarity, a story that resonates with collectors who appreciate both craft and provenance. The yellowish green tone evokes the first light on a rainforest canopy, the moment when dew softens the leaves and a path through the trees catches sunlight. The emerald cut becomes a window onto that morning, a series of steps like terraces carved into memory, each facet reflecting a different register of green and gold. The near invisible inclusions read like secret annotations, intimate and private, a delicate reminder that natural beauty is formed through time and pressure, and that clarity can contain the history of a place without erasing it. As a wearable relic from Madagascar, the gem suggests renewal and quiet resilience, an ideal centerpiece for a commitment piece that speaks of shared renewal and steady light rather than flash alone.

For those who choose this sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company, the appeal is technical and emotional at once. The gem offers precision cutting, consistent and intense color, verified unenhanced origin, and a clarity that supports both close inspection and daily wear. Its rectangular emerald cut lends itself to architectural settings in platinum or yellow gold, and it responds well to designs that emphasize linear symmetry and clean bezel or prong mounts. Because the stone is unheated and transparent with excellent polish, it benefits from designs that allow light access through the pavilion and table, letting the internal step structure play with light as the piece moves. We can provide detailed gemological information and guidance on mounting options to ensure the finished jewel honors both the technical merits and the romantic narrative of the sapphire, and to ensure the resulting piece maintains the integrity and story of this distinct Madagascar yellowish green stone.
