0.68 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This exceptional transparent 0.68 carat emerald cut shape yellowish green sapphire measures 6.27 x 3.71 x 2.88 millimeters, and its proportions are carefully balanced to showcase a refined presence that suits both classic and contemporary jewelry designs. The emerald cut gives the stone a clean, architectural profile, with broad step facets that emphasize clarity and color rather than extreme brilliance, making the gem appear elegant and sophisticated in any mounting. Graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this sapphire presents minimal internal features that do not detract from its visual appeal, and its excellent polish enhances surface luster so that light moves smoothly across each facet. The medium intense color intensity provides a lively, saturated tone that reads as yellowish green, a hue that is distinct and rare among corundum varieties, and because this sapphire has undergone no enhancement the color and clarity are entirely natural, a quality that educated buyers recognize as both desirable and valuable.

From a gemological perspective this sapphire embodies characteristics that make it attractive to collectors and connoisseurs, and its origin from Madagascar further contributes to its desirability. Sapphires are varieties of corundum, and color in yellowish green stones typically results from specific trace element combinations within the crystal lattice, producing tones that are more uncommon than classic blue or pink sapphires. Madagascar has become an important source of high quality sapphires in recent decades, producing material with appealing color and clarity, and reputable sourcing practices in the region mean buyers can feel confident about provenance when purchasing through an established house. The fact that this gem is untreated dramatically increases its market value relative to heat treated or otherwise enhanced material, because untreated stones that combine transparent clarity, a distinct hue, and an attractive cut are scarce. The very slightly included clarity grade, assessed at eye level, indicates that any inclusions are minimal and do not compromise durability, and combined with the excellent polish this stone offers a clean window into its natural color and structure, qualities that learned buyers prioritize when evaluating gems for both beauty and investment potential.

Presented as a gift, this yellowish green emerald cut sapphire will make a striking and memorable choice for someone special, because its uncommon color and refined cut convey thoughtfulness and distinction. The stone is well suited to be set as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, where the step facets will lend a refined, vintage inspired elegance, or as a pendant or pair of custom earrings where the color can be paired with yellow gold to warm the tone, or with white metal to create a modern contrast that highlights the green nuances. At 6.27 by 3.71 millimeters the gem wears with clarity and presence, showing enough surface area to be noticed while maintaining an elegant scale for everyday wear. For care, simple warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep the stone clean, and given its natural corundum hardness it is well suited to regular use when set appropriately, however avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shock will preserve its long term beauty.
