0.57 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.57 carat round yellowish green sapphire measures 4.38 x 4.38 x 3.71 mm, and is skillfully cut in a mixed brilliant style that maximizes face up brilliance and scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceting scheme that yields strong return of light and the perception of greater spread for its carat weight, making this stone an excellent choice for a refined solitaire, a halo setting, or as a distinctive accent in a bespoke piece. Clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates only minor inclusions that do not detract from the gem when set, and the excellent polish contributes to a lively, clean appearance. Color is medium intensity in the yellowish green range, a hue that is subtle and elegant, and the gem is transparent with consistent tone across its table. Enhancement is heat treated, a stable and widely accepted practice that enhances color and removes undesirable undertones without compromising durability.

The Madagascar origin positively impacts desirability and long term value for informed buyers, because Madagascar has emerged as a premier source of sapphires with a broad palette of natural hues and high quality material. Sapphires from Madagascar are appreciated for their often unique and peaceful green to yellow green colors, which result from trace element chemistry in the stone, and for the reliable supply of well formed crystals suitable for premier cutting. For the educated purchaser, origin matters because it provides geological context and market provenance, and in many cases contributes to rarity and collector interest. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document origin and treatments, and this sapphire’s Madagascar provenance, together with its excellent polish, mixed brilliant cut, transparent clarity, and medium color intensity, makes it a balanced and compelling choice for those seeking a gem that combines aesthetic appeal with sensible gemological credentials. Heat treatment in this piece is consistent with trade practice, improving visual attributes while remaining permanent and stable, and the overall package is ideal for a wearer who values subtle color, reliable performance, and documented origin.
