1.01 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Africa

This 1.01 carat asscher octagon shape sapphire measures 5.80 x 5.57 x 3.28 mm, presenting an ideal balance between table and depth for the asscher faceting style. The step cut asscher faceting produces concentric square facet planes that act as a hall of mirrors, emphasizing crisp facet junctions and controlled light return rather than the broad dispersion typical of brilliant cuts. With a measured depth of approximately 58 percent, the pavilion and crown proportions optimize internal reflection and contrast, yielding pronounced scintillation along the step facets and a steady window through the table. The excellent polish and precise symmetry translate to sharp facet edges and uniform facet alignment, so every angle produces consistent mirror like reflections and finely defined light and dark patterning across the crown and pavilion. The asscher octagon platform also enhances directional light play, allowing the intense color to breathe as the stone is rotated, with stable color distribution and no distracting color zoning apparent to the naked eye.

Color and clarity combine to elevate the gem’s presence in any setting. The sapphire displays an intense yellowish green hue, with strong saturation and a medium to slightly deep tone that reads vividly face up without appearing overly dark. Origin from Africa contributes to the stone’s mineral character, and the documented heat treatment is a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines hue and clarity while preserving natural crystal structure. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, which provides an effectively eye clean appearance under normal viewing conditions, allowing the asscher cut to project uninterrupted color and internal reflections. The excellent polish and meticulous cutting craftsmanship conceal minute inclusions near facet junctions, so the gem reads as flawless to the naked eye, enhancing brilliance, windowing, and facet contrast from every angle. For connoisseurs who value technical excellence in cut, color and finish, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company offers an asscher experience that pairs museum level geometry with vivid, stable color and a presentation that remains visually flawless under real world wear.
