1.56 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Africa

This transparent 1.56 carat yellowish green sapphire, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a rare and refined example of both natural color and expert lapidary work, with exact dimensions of 8.77 x 5.43 x 3.37 mm and an emerald cut that emphasizes symmetry and color distribution. The stone exhibits an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, attributes that are particularly desirable in green-hued sapphires where saturation directly impacts visual appeal and market desirability. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem presents as visually clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its origin and authenticity. The sapphire has been heat treated, a common and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color, and this treatment is fully disclosed. Origin is Africa, which yields a range of unique sapphire hues and contributes provenance that educated buyers often value when assessing long term desirability and potential appreciation.

From an investment and craftsmanship perspective this yellowish green emerald cut sapphire stands out for several reasons. In the marketplace yellow-green sapphires are significantly less common than the traditional blues and pinks, and finding this hue in a substantial 1.56 carat size with intense saturation and excellent polish is uncommon, making it a noteworthy acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs. The emerald cut, with its step facets and broad table, was chosen to maximize color uniformity and to reveal the stone’s clarity grade, requiring precise cutting to avoid windowing or uneven color zones, evidence of superior lapidary skill. Sapphire scores a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, which, combined with this cut and polish, ensures durability for daily wear and long term preservation of beauty. For the educated buyer, value derives from a combination of measurable characteristics, including carat weight, dimensions, color intensity, clarity evaluated at eye level, documented heat treatment, and verified African origin, all of which The Natural Sapphire Company guarantees and documents, making this gemstone an investment in both aesthetic excellence and enduring craftsmanship.
