0.62 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 0.62 carat fancy shape yellowish green sapphire from Madagascar is a rare and refined choice for collectors and designers, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring 5.92 by 4.00 by 3.06 millimeters, the gem is transparent, with a precise step cut that emphasizes clarity and geometric brilliance. Its clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and its polish is excellent. The color intensity is intense, delivering a vivid yellowish green that reads fresh and lively in daylight, while retaining depth in indoor lighting. Importantly, this sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, and that natural state adds provenance and long term value that many heat treated or otherwise enhanced stones cannot match.

When you compare its hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations, the differences become clear. Compared to classic Sri Lankan yellow sapphires, which often show bright pure yellow tones with high lightness, this Madagascar stone carries a distinct green infusion that warms the yellow into a more complex yellowish green. Versus Montana green sapphires from the United States, which frequently display cooler, bluish green tonalities and a softer, more muted brightness, the Madagascar gem here is more saturated and lively, with an intense tone that reads stronger at modest sizes. Australian green sapphires tend toward darker, more inky greens, and Thai sapphires are often deeper and more intensely zoned, whereas this stone maintains a balance of light and depth that is both eye catching and elegant. This balance is one reason why this particular yellowish green sapphire is so special, offering a hue that is neither pastel nor overly dark, but instead distinctly intense and crisp.

The step cut chosen for this gem accentuates its clarity and the way light travels through the pavilion, creating broad flashes and a hall of mirrors effect that showcases the color in planar bands. This contrasts with brilliant or mixed cuts commonly used for Sri Lankan and Kashmir sapphires, where faceting is optimized for scintillation rather than color zoning. In practice, the step cut on this Madagascar sapphire allows the yellowish green tone to read consistently across the table, while revealing the natural crystalline character of the stone. The very slightly included clarity grade is nearly eye clean, and those inclusions serve as natural fingerprints that confirm authenticity without detracting from wearable beauty. The excellent polish enhances the stone surface, so under close inspection the luster is refined, and the intense color intensity remains stable when set in any metal. The result is a gem that feels modern and architectural, with superior visual integrity when compared to heavily windowed or overly included stones from some other sources.

In terms of value and rarity, an untreated intense yellowish green sapphire of this size and cut stands out in the market. Many sapphires from well known sources undergo heat treatment to improve color and clarity, and while treated stones can be desirable at certain price points, an untreated sapphire from Madagascar offers a premium story for buyers who prioritize natural provenance and minimal intervention. Compared to high quality Ceylon sapphires, which are often prized for pure blues and pinks, or Kashmir stones valued for their velvety cornflower blue, this piece brings a unique palette that complements modern jewelry trends toward distinct, nature inspired hues. Its size and dimensions make it ideal for a delicate center stone in an engagement ring, a striking accent in a three stone setting, or a refined stud for a minimalist ear stack. The stability of its color under different light sources gives designers and buyers confidence that the sapphire will behave predictably on the hand and in photographs.

Choosing this Madagascar yellowish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company means selecting a gem that combines the best of several worlds. Its intense hue and measured tone set it apart from both the pastel tendencies of some Sri Lankan stones and the darker signatures of Australian or Thai material. The step cut and excellent polish provide a crisp presentation that highlights transparency and natural character, while the very slightly included clarity grade assures that the stone is both authentic and visually appealing. Because it is untreated, the sapphire maintains a premium standing among connoisseurs who compare hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations and seek pieces with natural origin stories.
