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

The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a stunning example of fine craftsmanship and exquisite beauty: a 1.58 carat oval-shaped yellowish green sapphire with remarkable transparency. Originating from the renowned sapphire mines of Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka, this gemstone embodies the rich heritage and centuries-old tradition of sapphire mining in the region. Sri Lanka has long been recognized for producing sapphires with a vivid spectrum of colors and exceptional quality, and this gemstone is a testament to that storied legacy.

This sapphire measures 8.12 x 6.16 x 3.79 mm and is expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, a facet design chosen for its exceptional light-reflecting capabilities. The mixed brilliant cut merges the traditional step-cut with brilliant-cut facets, augmenting the stone's innate ability to capture and reflect light, thereby enhancing its vibrant yellowish green hue. The depth and angle of each facet are meticulously calculated to maximize brilliance, affording the gem an exceptional sparkle and depth of color. This precision cutting technique not only showcases the gemstone’s natural brilliance but also pays homage to the artisan skills honed over generations in Sri Lanka’s gem-cutting community.

The clarity of this oval-shaped sapphire is graded as eye clean, indicating that it is free from inclusions visible to the naked eye. This high level of clarity ensures that the brilliance and color are uninterrupted, letting the intense color intensity—which plays a pivotal role in the stone’s overall aesthetic—truly shine. The rich yellowish green color is both intense and harmonious, evoking the lush natural beauty of its island origin. Through a masterfully applied polish, which attains an excellent grade, the surface gleams with a luster that is nothing short of breathtaking, ensuring a smooth finish and a vibrant play of light across its surface.
