1.41 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.41 carat cushion shape sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a rare combination of size and hue in a greenish yellow body color. The gem measures 6.45 x 6.35 x 3.83 millimeters, producing a depth of approximately 59.8 percent, a proportion that supports strong light performance without sacrificing face up size. The cutter selected a mixed brilliant cut, pairing a brilliant crown to optimize scintillation with a more step influenced pavilion that preserves and concentrates the subtle yellow green tone. The mixed faceting scheme creates a lively interplay of small, crisp facets across the crown, while the pavilion facets are arranged to minimize windowing and enhance return of light into the eye. Excellent polish on all facet junctions further improves contrast and increases perceived brightness, producing a clean, crystalline presentation in direct and diffused lighting.

From a material and rarity perspective this sapphire is notable. Origin registered as Ceylon Sri Lanka, the stone exhibits a light color intensity that sits between classical yellow sapphires and greener tones, a color category that is less commonly encountered in sizes above one carat from this locality. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor internal features that are not distracting to the unaided eye and which have been managed by precise faceting to avoid dark inclusions or contrast disruption. The gem has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for Ceylon material, applied to improve color uniformity and remove silk where present, without compromising the natural crystalline structure. Collectors and designers seeking a distinctive yellow green sapphire will appreciate the combination of a substantial 1.41 carat weight, disciplined cutting proportions, and a rare hue, making this stone an uncommon alternative to more typical yellow or green sapphires. For those evaluating technical attributes, the piece offers excellent polish, considered proportions, and an eye clean appearance, all supported by provenance from a historically significant sapphire region, and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company.
