0.56 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.56 carat princess shape yellowish green sapphire measures 4.61 x 4.58 x 2.89 mm and is presented in a precise princess cut. The stone exhibits intense color intensity with a balanced yellow and green distribution that is typical of high quality Madagascar material. Clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that do not detract from the gem when set. The pavilion and crown proportions yield a clean faceting geometry and the excellent polish maximizes light return across the table and crown facets. No enhancement has been applied, and the origin is Madagascar. The Natural Sapphire Company describes this gem in factual terms to assist in selection and setting decisions.

Under varied lighting conditions this sapphire demonstrates distinct but predictable behavior. In natural daylight and cool fluorescent light the green facets become more pronounced, producing a fresh and crisp appearance with strong internal reflections and noticeable scintillation as the stone moves. Under warm incandescent light or warm LED sources the yellow component becomes more apparent, yielding a softer, golden green overall tone while maintaining good brilliance from the well executed princess cut. Direct sunlight accentuates facet contrast and produces sharp flashes from the pavilion, creating a lively play of light across the square table. In lower light conditions the overall intensity reads darker, yet the internal facet pattern continues to offer pinpoint brilliancy rather than a flat appearance. When mounted in a white metal setting the sapphire’s bright flashes are emphasized due to contrast with the metal, while a warmer metal can subtly enhance the yellowish side of the hue. The combination of transparent material, intense color, and excellent polish ensures consistent performance regardless of environment, and the stone’s modest size and square silhouette make it suitable for a range of settings where controlled light interaction is desired.
