2.17 Ct. Green Sapphire from Australia

This 2.17 carat fancy shaped green sapphire from Australia embodies a rare combination of size, color intensity, and precision cutting that sets it apart from most green sapphires on the market, The Natural Sapphire Company presents a gem that reads as both elegant and boldly present. Measuring 8.57 by 6.58 by 4.17 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, it delivers a quality of light return and facet definition that simple step cuts and poorly finished stones cannot match. The gem carries a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, so compared with more heavily included material it reads cleaner and brighter to the naked eye, while maintaining natural character that many collectors prize. Heat treatment has been applied, a standard enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies the green without masking the stone s natural depth, and this results in a richer, more marketable color when compared to untreated stones that can appear muted or uneven. Against synthetics and lower grade commercial sapphires, this Australian gem offers superior color saturation, more lively facet play, and a provenance that adds distinctiveness and value.

Under different lighting conditions this sapphire performs with versatility and character, earning its place in both everyday jewelry and special occasion settings. In bright daylight the intense green becomes vivid and slightly bluish at certain angles, the mixed brilliant cut throwing lively flashes that create a crisp scintillation not seen in flatter cuts. Direct sunlight deepens the forest tones and emphasizes flashes of lighter green as the stone moves, giving a sense of dimensionality that makes the gem appear larger and more dynamic than its carat weight might suggest. Under warm incandescent or candlelight the green warms toward olive and gold edged highlights, offering a softer, more romantic appearance, while cool LED and office fluorescent lights bring out the bluer facets and a sleeker, modern sheen. The stone shows mild pleochroic behavior, so subtle shifts between bluish green and yellowish green occur as it rotates, a trait that enhances visual interest compared with non pleochroic gems. Because of its cutting and polish it photographs beautifully and mounts well in a variety of settings whether center stage in a ring, pendant, or bespoke piece, If you seek a green sapphire that balances rarity, visual performance, and sensible treatment, The Natural Sapphire Company s Australian 2.17 carat gem is a compelling choice.
