1.17 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the ancient soils of Madagascar this 1.17 carat radiant shape yellowish green sapphire began its journey as crystallized aluminum oxide enriched by trace elements that give it its distinctive hue, a story written over millions of years beneath volcanic rock and ocean sediments. Hand recovered by artisanal miners who know the land and its rhythms, this stone carries the fingerprint of place, where Madagascar has become known for producing gems with lively, unusual colors. At The Natural Sapphire Company we work closely with local communities and cutters to honor that origin, ensuring each sapphire is traced from mine to gem, and receives the careful attention it deserves.

Cut to exacting proportions, this sapphire measures 6.20 x 5.20 x 4.00 mm and displays a radiant cut that maximizes fire and brilliance within a compact silhouette. With a clarity described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone offers transparency and sparkle with delicate inclusions that testify to its natural formation rather than detract from its beauty. The medium color intensity balances freshness and depth, presenting an alluring yellowish green tone that shifts with light and setting. Excellent polish completes the craftsmanship, each facet finished to reflect light cleanly and to enhance durability. The sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines color and clarity while respecting the gem's natural character.

Worn in a ring or pendant this sapphire will continue to captivate over the years, its color deepening in memory as it catches sun and lamplight, and its polished facets holding their mirror finish with routine care. Sapphire is one of the hardest gemstones, resistant to scratches, yet it benefits from occasional professional inspection and gentle cleaning to preserve its brilliance. The combination of Madagascar origin, radiant cut, precise dimensions, and thoughtful finishing means this gem is both a piece of geological history and a crafted treasure ready for everyday life. Choosing this sapphire is choosing a story that will grow with you, a natural wonder that will keep revealing new flashes of color and light across a lifetime.
