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

A whisper of summer and forest light rests within a single jewel, a transparent cushion shape yellowish green sapphire weighing 0.98 carat, and measuring 6.80 by 4.30 by 3.33 millimeters. Born of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and untouched by enhancement, this gem carries the silent poetry of moonlit lagoons and tea scented hills. Its hue is a medium intense wash of green threaded through with sunlit yellow, a color that seems to breathe as you turn it, as if spring itself were caught behind the facets. The mixed brilliant cut sculpts the stone into a small cathedral of light, each facet a window into a private world, and the excellent polish dresses those windows in clarity so fine that your gaze travels freely from surface to core. Slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone keeps a tender, human secret, a trace of the earth that birthed it, yet those inclusions are like a poet's comma, a small pause that gives the sentence of light rhythm and meaning.

From the first tilt the mixed brilliant facets begin to sing, a soft chorus of scintillation that pours from corner to corner of the cushion silhouette. The proportions are a quiet act of balance, a conversation between width and depth where 6.80 by 4.30 by 3.33 millimeters converge to cradle fire and reflection. In profile the stone presents a gentle dome, and in face up view it offers an expanse of twinkling planes, each one cut to invite the candlelight, the noon sun, the intimate glow of evening. The excellent polish makes every plane a mirror, catching, fragmenting, and returning light with the generosity of a clear stream. Because the sapphire is unenhanced, its color and brilliance are honest and true, a natural performance rather than a staged one. The slightly included clarity is an honest companion to that brilliance, a subtle marker of authenticity that will only deepen your appreciation as you learn its nuances. Where perfection might feel distant and clinical, this gem is alive, and its apparent flawlessness in presentation comes from the harmony of expert cutting, superior polish, and the inherent transparency that allows light to travel and multiply.

Imagine this sapphire set in a ring, a pendant, or held for a moment between two fingers, The Natural Sapphire Company presenting it as a jewel meant to be worn and whispered, not hidden away. Against skin the yellowish green will glow with borrowed warmth, playing with the undertones of evening garments and daylight dresses alike, moving with breath and step, changing like the first page of a love letter left in sunlight. Its medium intense color is a private declaration, visible and vivid without shouting, drawing attention with the ease of a familiar melody. The absence of enhancement affirms its provenance and promise, an unaltered voice from Ceylon Sri Lanka that will remain steadfast through years and stories. Slightly included at eye level is listed as a clarity grade, and this is part of its charm, a reminder that natural beauty carries the history of its formation, a map of pressure and time that only enhances the romance of wearing something born of the earth.

Let this 0.98 carat cushion yellowish green sapphire become a companion for vows and quiet mornings, a piece that reflects who you are and who you love. Its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish make light its most faithful admirer, ensuring that from every angle it rewards attention with sparkle and depth. The small inclusions, visible only upon careful inspection, give character rather than fault, turning a jewel into a story that can be read and retold. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is more than a gem, it is a fragment of Ceylon light, a promise of authenticity, a luminous miniature landscape to hold close, a heart of green fire waiting to be set into the moment that matters most.
