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

In the long sweep of gemstone history, certain stones have become shorthand for legacy and lineage, stones like the Star of India and the Logan Sapphire, each carrying the weight of centuries and the stories of royal patrons. This transparent 1.37 carat marquise yellowish green sapphire, from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, echoes that same narrative quality while offering a distinct chapter of its own. Its marquise form, a shape favored in European courts for its elegant elongation and navette silhouette, recalls the glamour of historic bijoux, yet its mixed brilliant faceting brings a modern vibrancy comparable to the scintillation admired in famous jewels. Where the Hope Diamond is lauded for its deep blue mystique, and the Tiffany Yellow Diamond for its exuberant hue and fire, this sapphire occupies a rarer middle ground, an intense yellowish green that is both verdant and luminous, a color that makes it feel simultaneously ancient and fresh, fit for an heirloom setting or a contemporary piece that will become tomorrow’s legend.

Beyond its evocative color, the gem’s physical virtues underscore its unique value, it measures 9.10 x 4.64 x 4.25 mm, a size that balances presence with wearability, and its faceted mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return to create lively scintillation and depth. Clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, providing a clean, transparent window into the stone that enhances its natural charm without distracting inclusions. The polish is excellent, a finishing touch that elevates every facet and accentuates the intense color intensity. Critically, this sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, which places it among the more genuine examples sought by collectors who value provenance and purity. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, it shares an origin with some of the world’s most celebrated sapphires, and when set, it will carry forward a tradition of craftsmanship and reverence. At The Natural Sapphire Company we appreciate gemstones as living histories, and this marquise yellowish green sapphire offers a rare confluence of classic form, exceptional natural color, and enduring character, ready to begin its next chapter with you.
