0.66 ct Green Sapphire - Round

At 0.66 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its green color through a round cut, measuring 4.8 x 3.6 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Sri Lankan sapphire is hand-picked from river gravels worked for two thousand years, and the island's signature is bright, glassy color with high transparency. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
