Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
1.24 carat oval-cut green sapphire, unheated, measuring 7.19 × 5.49 × 3.97 mm. A clear, even green with strong brilliance across the mixed brilliant faceting. Origin is presented as the store's own assessment of Madagascar, as the AGCL report does not address geographic origin. Accompanied by AGCL Report #M2513026, confirming weight, dimensions, color, and treatment.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"What stands out to me on this stone is how clean and even the leaf-green color reads face-up, with no zoning to distract the eye — and because it's completely unheated, that color is exactly how it formed underground."
Rarity Analysis
Green is one of the least common sapphire body colors to reach the market, well behind blue, pink, and yellow, which makes a stone like this one worth evaluating on more than one axis of scarcity.
-
Color: Green sapphire is a minority color within corundum production generally; a clean, even leaf-green tone without visible zoning is harder to source than the blue and yellow material that dominates most inventories.
-
Size: At 1.24 carats with a 7.19 × 5.49 mm face, this stone is a workable center-stone size — most green sapphire on the market clusters in smaller melee and accent sizes.
-
Treatment: The large majority of sapphire on the market is heat-treated to improve color; this stone is unheated, meaning its color formed naturally with no thermal enhancement.
-
Clarity: Eye-clean unheated sapphire in this color is less common than eye-clean heated material, since untreated stones haven't had inclusions minimized by heat processing.
-
Documentation: AGCL Report #M2513026 independently confirms the stone's weight, dimensions, color, and unheated status — verification that isn't available on undocumented material.
-
Combined effect: No single factor here is exceptionally rare on its own, but the combination of an uncommon color, a workable carat size, unheated status, and eye-clean clarity together is what makes this particular stone difficult to replace once sold.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:
-
View it in natural or daylight-balanced light. Green sapphire's tone can shift subtly under warm artificial lighting, so daylight or a daylight-balanced bulb will show the true leaf-green color and the strong brilliance of the mixed-brilliant faceting most accurately.
-
Consider the oval's proportions for your setting. At 7.19 × 5.49 × 3.97 mm, this oval will read as an elongated center stone — confirm prong placement protects the pointed ends of the oval outline if you're setting it in a ring.
-
Verify treatment disclosure when comparison-shopping. Not every green sapphire offered online is accompanied by lab confirmation of unheated status — ask for the certification report before comparing price per carat.
-
Weigh availability against the rarity factors above. Because unheated, eye-clean green sapphire in a wearable carat size doesn't come up often, expect fewer directly comparable stones to shop against than for heated blue sapphire of similar size.
-
Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.

One of a Kind
This is a single natural gemstone, not a manufactured or lab-created replica — no two sapphires form with identical color, inclusions, and internal character. Once this stone sells, it's gone; there is no duplicate. What you see documented on the AGCL report is the exact, individual stone you receive.
