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

This extraordinary, transparent 0.95 carat oval yellowish green sapphire arrives to you as a rare, single example of nature and craftsmanship combined, a stone that will feel personal the moment you hold it. Sourced from the celebrated gem districts of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire displays a delicate balance of light and color, with a soft, refined yellowish green tone and medium color intensity that shifts gently as it catches the light. Carefully shaped into an elegant oval measuring 6.60 by 5.18 by 2.75 millimeters, the gem has been given a mixed brilliant cut to maximize sparkle while preserving the depth of its hue. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the small natural features are part of its story but do not detract from the overall transparency or brilliance. The polish is excellent, enhancing the gem s surface and allowing its subtle color play to read clearly through every facet. Because this sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, the tone and character you see are wholly natural, an authenticity that places it in an elite category for collectors and connoisseurs who prize original, unaltered gemstones.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire as a rare opportunity for those seeking a jewel that speaks to individuality and enduring quality, a gem that will not be replicated easily. The combination of its modest but perfect carat weight, the classic oval silhouette, and the mixed brilliant cut make it versatile for bespoke settings, from an understated solitaire to a refined halo that frames its unique color. This stone is ideal for someone who appreciates discretion and distinction, someone who prefers their possessions to whisper elegance rather than shout it. Each facet and every microscopic inclusion tells a story of formation deep within the earth, a story that is unchanged because no heat treatment or other enhancement was applied. That natural provenance, tied to the legendary mines of Ceylon, carries both historical prestige and a quiet rarity, meaning ownership of this stone is ownership of a living, geological history.

When considering a gem for everyday wear, durability is paramount, and this sapphire stands confidently in that regard. Sapphires are members of the corundum family, and on the Mohs hardness scale corundum rates nine out of ten, making this 0.95 carat yellowish green sapphire significantly harder than many common gemstones, and second only to diamond which rates ten. To give practical perspective, quartz, a common gem material, rates seven on the Mohs scale, which means it is more prone to surface wear and scratching than corundum. A sapphire at nine means it resists scratching from most materials encountered in daily life, and it will retain its polish and integrity when set in rings, bracelets, and other frequently worn pieces. That exceptional hardness combined with the excellent polish ensures that when set with care, this sapphire will preserve its brilliance and shape for decades, making it a prudent choice for investment quality jewelry as well as for an heirloom piece you intend to pass down.

For collectors and clients of The Natural Sapphire Company who understand the value of rarity, this unheated Ceylon sapphire is an invitation to join a small circle of owners who possess something genuinely distinct. Imagine the gem set in a bespoke ring, centering a finely crafted band that complements its whisper of yellowish green, or paired with warm metals to accentuate its subtle golden undertones. Our recommendation for mounting emphasizes protective settings that celebrate the gem s resilience, such as low profile bezels or secure prong designs that minimize exposure to hard knocks while still allowing light to enliven the mixed brilliant cut. As this stone is one of a limited number of naturally colored, untreated sapphires of this size and quality available from Ceylon, decision makers and collectors will recognize its potential to appreciate in desirability as well as in sentimental value. If you wish to discuss custom settings, certification, or to view matching pieces, our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to assist you in making this rare gem your signature possession.
