0.68 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This 0.68 carat round yellowish green sapphire from Madagascar is a finely proportioned example of corundum, measuring 4.78 by 4.83 by 3.74 millimeters and cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance face up fire with depth of color. Its medium light color intensity delivers a delicate, versatile tone that can read as soft green or pale yellow depending on lighting, making it an intriguing choice for an educated buyer who values subtlety and versatility. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the gem s overall transparency or brilliance. An excellent polish enhances light return from the facets, so despite the modest carat weight the gem displays lively scintillation and a pleasing table brightness. The sapphire has undergone routine heat treatment to improve color and clarity, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that is considered permanent when properly set, and the documented origin of Madagascar adds a layer of provenance, as that region is known for producing sapphires with distinctive, fresh hues that appeal to collectors and designers alike. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the description and presentation of this stone, and can advise on setting options that maximize its optical performance.

Beyond its immediate aesthetic appeal, this sapphire offers the characteristics that create a generational heirloom. Sapphire is a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond among common gemstones, and this durability means it wears exceptionally well in rings, pendants, and everyday jewelry that will be passed down. The classic round outline and mixed brilliant cut give timeless elegance that transcends fleeting trends, while the unique yellowish green color provides individuality without sacrificing classic appeal. When set in a well engineered mount with protective design considerations and maintained with periodic professional cleaning, the heat treatment is stable and the stone will retain its color and integrity for decades. For the educated buyer, the combination of documented origin, conservative clarity grading, excellent polish, and responsible disclosure about treatment makes this sapphire a transparent purchase decision, and an asset that can carry both sentimental and potential monetary value into future generations. The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with settings, documentation, and care guidance to ensure this gem becomes the centerpiece of a treasured heirloom.
