1.16 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

When you are searching for a sapphire that feels like the end of the journey, rather than a step along the way, this 1.16 carat yellowish green radiant sapphire from Madagascar answers that need with clarity and confidence. At 1.16 carats and measuring 6.30 by 5.96 by 3.17 millimeters, this gem has the ideal presence for a statement engagement ring, a distinctive pendant, or a focused collector piece. You want a stone that balances rarity with wearability, and this transparent sapphire delivers both. The radiant shape with a precise radiant cut maximizes light return, giving the gem a lively face up appearance, and the excellent polish ensures every facet plays its part in the overall brilliance. For anyone who values a gemstone that reads as both elegant and unmistakably unique, this sapphire is a perfect solution.

In practical terms, the gemological attributes of this sapphire will matter to you because they define its performance and its long term value. The clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the eye while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its authenticity. The medium light color intensity produces a vivid yellowish green that feels fresh and luminous without overpowering, allowing the stone to adapt beautifully to different settings and lighting conditions. The transparency of the sapphire means light moves through the gem rather than being trapped, and the combination of radiant cut and excellent polish ensures that light is returned to the viewer with sparkle and depth. Importantly for discerning buyers, this sapphire has no enhancement, so its color and clarity are entirely natural, an increasingly rare quality that collectors and couples seeking an authentic, untreated gem prize highly.

The origin of this sapphire, Madagascar, plays a decisive role in both aesthetic appeal and market value, and it is one of the reasons this gem stands apart. Madagascar has emerged as a source of exceptional sapphires over the last decades, producing a wide spectrum of hues that are distinct from classical deposits in other regions. The island’s complex geology creates conditions where trace elements interact in ways that can yield rare yellowish green tones, with a character and saturation that are difficult to find elsewhere. For a customer seeking a stone with a story and provenance, Madagascar offers that narrative in spades. Provenance from Madagascar signals to collectors and connoisseurs that they are acquiring a gem with geological pedigree and contemporary rarity. In addition, many buyers today care about ethical sourcing and traceability. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize responsible procurement and transparent documentation, so the origin enhances the gem’s desirability both emotionally and economically.

Finally, consider how this sapphire will fit into your life and your collection. A 1.16 carat radiant sapphire with medium light color intensity and very very slightly included clarity is ideal for a bespoke engagement ring that stands apart from mass produced designs, and it is equally compelling as the centerpiece of a refined pendant or the highlight of a collector’s cabinet. The durability of sapphire, with a high resistance to daily wear, makes it practical for a piece that will be worn often, while the untreated nature of the stone adds to its rarity and long term investment potential. If your goal is to end the search for a meaningful gem that combines beauty, authenticity, and provenance, this Madagascar sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company does just that. Allow us to help you visualize settings and pairing options, and to provide the documentation and customer support that make the purchase as rewarding as the gem itself.
