2.02 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.02 carat oval green sapphire measures 7.65 x 6.60 x 4.79 millimeters, and is cut in a mixed brilliant style to optimize face up brilliance and internal scintillation. The body color presents an intense green with a cool blue undertone, exhibiting a medium to medium deep tone that reads both lively and composed under varied lighting. Clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, providing excellent transparency and minimal visual distraction. The polish is excellent, allowing facets to return light crisply and contributing to the stone eye appeal. This sapphire is natural and unenhanced, and its origin from Ceylon contributes to its balanced combination of saturation, clarity, and lightness. The Natural Sapphire Company quality assessment emphasizes the stone as a transparent, finely finished gem suitable for precision settings that showcase both color and cut.

When compared to sapphires from other notable sources, this Ceylon green presents a distinct voice in hue and tone. Kashmir sapphires tend to display a pure cornflower blue with a velvety texture and a medium tone, a look that contrasts with this stone which leans more toward green with a cool blue component and a clearer, more brilliant faceted appearance. Burmese stones often carry a deep, saturated blue tone that is generally stronger and warmer than this green sapphire. Montana sapphires frequently show paler, more minty greens and teals with lighter tones, making this Ceylon stone noticeably more intense in color. Australian green sapphires can be darker and more inky, with heavier tones that reduce brightness, whereas this gem retains lively reflection and a brighter face up appearance. Madagascar material offers a wide range of hues and can approach the vividness and clarity of Ceylon stones, yet this Ceylon example maintains a characteristic brightness and even saturation that distinguishes it in both jewelry and collection contexts. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone for its combination of intense color, clean appearance, and classic Ceylon provenance.
