0.80 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing presents one beautiful transparent 0.80 carat cushion shape yellowish green sapphire, measuring 5.07 x 4.78 x 3.60 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level, an intense color intensity, an excellent polish, no enhancement, and a documented origin of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceting scheme that maximizes light return from the pavilion with larger crown facets that preserve color, producing a balance of scintillation and saturation that is particularly effective in green and yellowish green tones. The designation of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level indicates that the stone appears eye clean to most observers, while under magnification faint inclusions may be visible, which is typical of natural corundum and does not materially affect durability or optical performance. As corundum, sapphire rates nine on the Mohs hardness scale, which means this 0.80 carat gem is robust for daily wear in rings and other jewelry, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and strong light return.

Compared with more familiar gemstones, this yellowish green Ceylon sapphire offers a distinctive combination of brilliance, dispersion, and color stability that allows it to stand out. Diamonds exhibit exceptional brilliance and dispersion due to their high refractive index, however they lack the inherent color that makes this sapphire so appealing, and an untreated Ceylon sapphire of intense tone provides a saturated hue that remains visible across lighting conditions. Compared with emeralds, which often contain significant inclusions and are commonly oiled, this sapphire is far more durable and typically presents greater clarity, making it a superior choice for everyday settings. Compared with peridot and green garnet varieties such as tsavorite, this sapphire displays a deeper, more resinous saturation and typically greater long term value, due to its rarity in clean, untreated material and its origin. Ceylon provenance is prized for producing lively, medium to intense tones with excellent transparency, and the absence of any heat or other enhancements further enhances desirability to the informed buyer. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate and present untreated, traceable sapphires, and this example combines fine cutting, eye clean clarity, and an unusual yellowish green personality, making it an excellent selection for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a durable, distinctive, and naturally beautiful gem.
