3.16 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

In the vast geological expanses of Madagascar, millions of years ago, a remarkable process unfolded beneath the Earth's surface, giving birth to one of nature's most exquisite creations. Nestled within the earth's crust, under immense pressure and intense heat, the raw elements of aluminum and oxygen, combined with trace elements of iron and chromium, crystallized to form a sapphire of extraordinary beauty. This particular specimen, now expertly cut and polished, is a transparent 3.16 carat round-shaped yellowish-green sapphire that exemplifies the remarkable journey from mineral formation to gemstone allure.

The formation of this sapphire began in the depths of the Earth's mantle, where tectonic activities and volcanic pressures provided the ideal conditions for sapphires to develop within the alluvial deposits expansive in Madagascar, an area renowned for its high-quality gemstones. The subtle infusion of chromium during the crystallization phase enhanced its unique yellowish-green hue which exhibits medium intense color intensity, a defining feature that distinguishes this sapphire. The slight presence of iron contributes to its brilliant greenish undertones, orchestrating a captivating dance of colors that adds depth and dimension. These factors culminate in a gemstone that boasts not only an aesthetically pleasing coloration but also an exemplary transparency and clarity—graded at very very slightly included, evaluated meticulously at eye level.

Crafted with profound expertise, this sapphire carries a mixed brilliant cut, a sophisticated technique known to maximize both brilliance and color. The art of faceting further refines its innate splendor, utilizing precise facets to amplify the stone's refractive qualities. The round shape of this exquisite sapphire, with dimensions of 8.58 x 8.63 x 6.10 mm, is crafted to invoke a timeless elegance, showcasing the stone’s vibrant personality. With an excellent polish that enhances its surface, the sapphire possesses a smooth, mirror-like finish that further intensifies its luminous sheen and showcases the transparency inherent to this precious gemstone. It remains unenhanced—a testament to its natural beauty untouched by human intervention—offering an authentic experience to discerning connoisseurs who value the purity of gemstones.
