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

Imagine owning a stone that announces its rarity the moment it catches the light, a sapphire that is not simply beautiful but singular in its combination of size, hue, and provenance. We present a transparent 1.24 carat emerald cut yellowish green sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a gem whose dimensions of 6.43 by 5.25 by 3.80 mm give it presence on the hand without sacrifice of elegance. This gem is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, with an intense color intensity and an excellent polish that allows its tone and brilliance to speak for themselves. Heat treated to enhance its natural qualities, this stone retains the authentic character that collectors and connoisseurs prize, making it an exceptional offering from The Natural Sapphire Company. In a market where many stones blur into familiarity, this sapphire stands apart as a rare opportunity to acquire a piece that will be remembered across generations.

The color of this sapphire is its most compelling claim to rarity. Yellowish green sapphires exist across a range of sizes and qualities, but finding a stone at this weight with such concentrated, intense color and transparent clarity is extraordinarily uncommon. Many similar stones show either a washed tone when small or an uneven distribution of color when larger, but this gem presents a well saturated, vivid yellowish green that is both lively and refined. The hue resonates in a way that is neither overly citrus nor purely forest, landing in a luminous belt of green enlivened by warm yellow undertones. Against the standards for colored gemstones, this balance of saturation and tone at 1.24 carat makes it a standout. The fact that it comes from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adds another layer of distinction, as the island has long been celebrated for producing sapphires with unique and evocative colors that modern gem enthusiasts actively seek.

Beyond color, the cut and clarity of this sapphire elevate it from rare to collectible. The emerald cut, with its clean stepped facets, is a refined choice for colored stones because it emphasizes color and clarity rather than scattering light in a riot of facets. In this sapphire the emerald cut allows the intense yellowish green to sit like a window into a rare landscape, while the excellent polish maximizes the surface sheen so that each glance reveals a fresh depth. Clarity graded as eye clean means that nothing distracts from that luminous color when the stone is viewed in normal wear conditions, a quality that collectors and bespoke jewelers prize highly. Heat treatment is a standard and widely accepted enhancement in the trade, used to bring out the best expression of the stone without compromising its natural integrity. For those who understand the market, a heat treated Ceylon sapphire with this combination of weight, cut, color and clarity is precisely the sort of gem that becomes the centerpiece of a lifetime collection.

Owning this sapphire is an invitation to join an exclusive circle of patrons who value scarcity and provenance as much as beauty. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate stones that are not mass produced but carefully selected for their rare combination of attributes, and this yellowish green emerald cut gem is offered with that exacting standard in mind. We can guide you through bespoke settings that enhance the stone without overwhelming it, whether the vision is a timeless solitaire, a modern cocktail ring, or a necklace that allows the color to breathe against skin. For collectors seeking an investment in rarity, or for those in pursuit of a signature piece that will define a legacy, this sapphire represents a compelling and uncommon choice.
