0.96 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Tanzania

This transparent 0.96 carat oval yellowish green sapphire measures 6.29 x 5.32 x 3.46 mm, and it has a mixed brilliant cut that has been proportioned to enhance both scintillation and color delivery. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant style crown with a faceted pavilion to maximize light return, which is particularly important for stones with this intense color intensity. Clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads as eye clean to most observers while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its gemological authenticity. The excellent polish on the facets contributes to superior surface reflection and a lively face up appearance, and the oval outline will visually elongate the finger when set in a ring, making this sapphire an excellent choice for both classic and contemporary settings. With no enhancement, this sapphire retains its natural state, which is increasingly prized by educated buyers who value untreated material for collectibility and long term value.

The origin of this sapphire is Tanzania, a region acclaimed for producing a wide palette of sapphire colors that include the rare yellowish green tones found in this specimen. Tanzanian sources such as the Umba and Tunduru areas are known for their geological conditions that yield sapphires with distinctive color zoning and attractive hues, and provenance from this country adds a layer of desirability for connoisseurs and collectors who pay attention to source when assessing rarity and market value. Untreated sapphires from Tanzania command a premium because the combination of natural color, responsible sourcing potential, and documented origin appeals to buyers seeking transparency and investment quality. Practical considerations also favor this gem, since sapphire rates a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, offering excellent durability for everyday wear while retaining brilliance and polish. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize accurate grading, measured proportions, and full disclosure, and this 0.96 carat yellowish green sapphire, with its intense color, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, mixed brilliant cut, excellent polish, and verified Tanzanian origin, represents a compelling option for an educated buyer seeking an attractive, natural, and investment minded gemstone.
