3.33 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Tanzania

This transparent 3.33 carat oval yellow sapphire measures 9.66 x 7.42 x 4.98 mm and has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize face up brilliance and scintillation. The gem displays a medium light color intensity that reads as a refined pale canary yellow in daylight and incandescent light. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that while the stone is clean to quick visual inspection it retains a handful of small internal features that attest to its natural origin. The cut proportions and excellent polish accentuate the stone s luster and light return, allowing the color to present evenly across the crown while still revealing its internal character under magnification. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, a factor that significantly increases desirability among informed buyers who prize untreated material for long term value and collectability.

What gives this sapphire an unmistakable signature is the pattern and character of its inclusions, which are both diagnostic and aesthetically interesting. Under magnification the stone reveals a network of fine silk like growth tubes and minute crystal inclusions that coalesce toward the pavilion, producing a soft internal shimmer when the gem is moved. A few tiny reflective crystals near the center create pinpoint flashes that act like a fingerprint, making this individual stone immediately recognizable when compared to others from the same parcel. These internal features are consistent with Tanzanian origin and reflect the gem s natural crystallization environment, adding provenance and narrative to its technical attributes. For the educated buyer the combination of a substantial 3.33 carat weight, an elegant oval mixed brilliant with excellent polish, a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium light color intensity, no enhancement, and verifiable Tanzanian origin results in a gemstone that is both wearable and investment worthy.
