1.25 ct Green Sapphire - Cushion

At 1.25 carats, this sapphire from Australia carries its green color through a cushion cut, measuring 7 x 6 x 3.5 mm.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. Australian deposits run to deep, inky blues and strong parti colors, a steady commercial sapphire source since the nineteenth century. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
