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

This transparent 0.95 carat trillion shape yellowish green sapphire measures 5.55 by 6.95 by 3.83 mm, and represents a rare convergence of size, hue, and natural state. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this stone carries the geographic signature that collectors and connoisseurs recognize for clarity and refined color, and it arrives to you without any enhancement. The trillion cut has been executed to exploit the sapphire crystal geometry, producing strong light return across the table and lively scintillation along each of the three equal sides. Clarity is reported as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that confirms transparency and visual purity for most loupe and unaided viewing situations, while the finish is described as excellent polish, indicating meticulous lapidary attention to facet junctions and surface smoothness. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize provenance and cutting quality, and this gem exemplifies our commitment to offering natural, untreated material that performs beautifully in both technical appraisal and aesthetic use.

The cutting style for this trillion relies on a triangular brilliant template with carefully balanced crown and pavilion facet arrays, engineered to harmonize brilliance with color saturation. The crown facets are calibrated to admit and refract light into the pavilion, while the pavilion facets are angled to return that light through the table and crown, minimizing light leakage that can mute color. For a yellowish green sapphire, maintaining an optimal pavilion depth is critical, because overly shallow or overly deep proportions will alter perceived tone and reduce the intensity of saturation. The cutter preserved good symmetry and proportionality, ensuring the apex points are tight and well centered, and the girdle is consistent to support secure mounting without compromising the visual flow. The excellent polish denotes skilled final work on lap, where polishing compounds and controlled pressure were used to eliminate facet haze and preserve crisp facet edges, producing sharp facet reflections and maximum contrast. These craftsmanship attributes are especially important in a triangular outline where facet alignment and edge integrity determine how evenly the color distributes across the table and corners.

Color is the defining attribute of this sapphire, and the description yellowish green with intense color intensity locates this stone in an uncommon sector of the sapphire color palette. The hue sits between yellow and green, with sufficient saturation to read as an intense color rather than a pale or washed tone, and with a medium to medium strong tone that produces visible vibrancy without appearing overly dark. In practical observation the stone presents lively green flashes with underlying warm yellow modifiers, a combination that interacts with the faceting to create dynamic color movement as the stone is tilted. Yellowish green sapphires are less frequently encountered in clean, transparent examples of near one carat, particularly from Sri Lankan sources where blue and pastel colors dominate the market. Further, many sapphires displaying similar hues on the market have been heat treated to refine color or reduce inclusions, so an untreated, naturally intense yellowish green sapphire of this size and shape is comparatively rare. For buyers seeking a distinctive color that remains natural in origin, this gemstone occupies an uncommon niche, appealing to collectors and designers who prioritize unique, naturally occurring saturation and chroma.

The clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level indicates that minor internal features are present, but they do not materially affect transparency or light return in normal viewing, and they attest to the stone s natural formation history. In the context of sapphires the presence of fine inclusions can confirm natural origin and often enhance provenance credibility when correlated with origin data, in this case Ceylon Sri Lanka. The absence of enhancement is a principal value driver for many technically minded buyers, because no heat or other treatment has altered the stone s original crystal chemistry or color zoning. From a setting perspective the trillion shape benefits from secure three point or three prong designs that protect the apexes while allowing the table to display color and brilliance, and bezel designs can emphasize the modern triangular silhouette while providing strong protection for everyday wear. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can advise on mounting geometry and metal choices that complement the yellowish green hue, for example warm yellow gold to enhance yellow modifiers, or white metals to increase perceived contrast and brightness. For the discerning purchaser who seeks technical excellence, natural origin, and a rare color in a near one carat size, this Ceylon trillion sapphire is an exceptional option that combines expert cutting, an intense natural color, and an untreated profile suitable for both high end bespoke jewelry and specialized collections.
