3.87 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 3.87 carat pear shape yellowish green sapphire presents precise measurements of 16.12 x 6.98 x 4.50 mm, yielding a length to width ratio of approximately 2.31 to 1 and a depth percentage near 39 percent based on the average of the length and width. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, with a brilliant facet arrangement on the pavilion contributing to strong light return, and a modified brilliant crown that emphasizes scintillation along the elongated axis. The faceting exhibits crisp junctions and balanced symmetry, and the excellent polish enhances facet contrast and surface brilliance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, meaning inclusions are minor, confined to the interior, and do not materially impede transparency or light performance. Color intensity is classified as intense, with a distinctly yellowish green hue that shows controlled pleochroic shifts between yellow and green tones when the stone is rotated under light, a characteristic typical of natural corundum. Enhancement analysis has established that this sapphire is unheated, with no additional treatments, and its provenance is Madagascar, a source known for producing a spectrum of vivid corundum colors.

Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire occupies a unique place among historically famous gemstones, recalling the vivid saturation of the Tiffany Yellow Diamond in its yellow facet, while echoing the natural green saturation associated with the Dresden Green in its verdant tone, yet remaining distinct because it is corundum rather than diamond. Compared with classic blue and green sapphires of noted collections, this yellowish green example combines the toughness and resilience of sapphire with an uncommon color profile, making it more wearable and practical for everyday jewelry. The elongated pear outline and mixed brilliant faceting make it ideal for a pendant or a vertically set ring, where the stone will emphasize length and deliver lively flashes under movement. As an unenhanced Madagascar sapphire with intense color, very slight inclusions, and superior cut and polish, it offers a rare combination of natural authenticity, optical performance, and historical resonance, appealing to connoisseurs who seek technical precision and distinctive color in a museum quality gem.
