For the discerning connoisseur of fine gemstones, the allure of a sapphire extends beyond its captivating hue and lustrous shine. Our exquisite 4.20 carat cushion-shaped yellow sapphire is a testament to nature's unparalleled artistry, with dimensions of 10.51 x 8.97 x 5.01 mm that define its robust presence. This remarkable gemstone, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, holds a narrative that bridges the past geological epochs with modern sophistication. Formed millions of years ago, it is born from the layered interactions of mineral-rich waters and intense geothermal conditions beneath the Earth's crust. This process, demanding heat and pressure, crystallizes aluminum oxide to create the marvel known as sapphire.

This sapphire's origin is traced back to the fabled island of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires of extraordinary quality and color. Here, it acquired its signature medium intense yellow hue, a direct result of iron and titanium traces during its formation that interacted over millennia to imbue the stone with its vibrant essence. The Ceylonese masterpiece is not just a gemstone but a chronicle etched in vibrant yellow that whispers of ancient tales of creation, beauty, and transcendence. Its mixed brilliant cut allows each facet to engage light and shadow exceptionally well, displaying a brilliance that few gemstones can achieve.

Furthermore, the clarity grade of this sapphire is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, a rarity that enhances its intrinsic and market value. The absence of notable inclusions ensures a crystal-clear view into the very heart of the gemstone, creating a seamless visual experience that captivates at first glance.
