0.56 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

There is a quiet authority that comes with gemstones that carry a lineage of earth and time, and this yellowish green cushion shape sapphire is a fine example of that enduring presence. For centuries sapphires have been worn as talismans, treasured for their resilience, and admired for their subtle variations of color that speak to the geological narrative within each crystal. This piece is a transparent 0.56 carat cushion shape sapphire with dimensions of 4.73 by 4.56 by 3.09 millimeters, and each facet has been cut to honor the stone rather than to force it into an expected profile. The mixed brilliant cut allows a dialogue between modern precision and classic geometry, producing reflections that move like sunlight through shallow forest leaves. The hue is a sophisticated yellowish green, with an intense color intensity that reads differently as light shifts, sometimes leaning toward a vibrant olive, sometimes toward a brighter spring green, and that versatility is part of its timeless appeal.

As a gem professional I observe the small details that define exceptional natural material, and this sapphire offers those hallmarks. Its clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the stone reads clean to the observer while still carrying the tiny inclusions that confirm its natural origin. The polish is excellent, allowing the pavilion and crown to perform their work without distraction, and the mixed brilliant cut keeps each flash controlled and elegant. There has been no enhancement, which is a key distinction in preservation of authenticity and long term value. The overall balance of weight, dimensions, and cut produces a gem that is refined enough for classic settings, and intimate enough to be set as a solitary accent that rewards close viewing. In hand the stone sits with comfortable presence, small in scale but monumental in character, and it invites designs that celebrate restraint and tradition.

Ethical sourcing is an essential part of how this sapphire belongs in the collections of conscious consumers. Origin Madagascar, and provenance that is traceable and responsibly managed, matter now as much as the visible beauty. At The Natural Sapphire Company we work directly with miners and partners who adhere to respectable labor practices and environmental awareness, and we make a point of selecting sapphires that have not been treated to alter their appearance. For collectors who value integrity, this means choosing a gem that aligns with ethical values, and that can be worn with a clear conscience. The no enhancement status of this sapphire is particularly meaningful for buyers who want natural color and natural formation, and the Madagascar origin brings its own geological story, one that connects the wearer to a place of rich mineral diversity and artisanal mining communities striving for fairer outcomes.

This sapphire is an invitation to build a collection that honors continuity, and to choose pieces that will be admired across generations. Its cushion outline and mixed brilliant facets lend themselves to classic solitaire rings, understated pendants, and heirloom pieces that speak of restraint rather than excess. For the conscious collector the decision to buy is as much about stewardship as it is about beauty, and with this 0.56 carat yellowish green sapphire you are selecting a gem that balances aesthetic refinement with ethical intent. If you are considering a setting that emphasizes the stone as a focal point, or a design that layers this sapphire among other responsibly sourced gems, our team at The Natural Sapphire Company can provide guidance on metal choices and historical design references that will enhance its timeless nature. This sapphire is ready to become part of a collection that values legacy, and to be passed forward with the story of where it came from and how it was chosen.
