Origin

Some major mines of green sapphire are situated in Sri-Lanka, Australia, Burma, Madagascarand Thailand. Out of these origins, Sri Lankan Green sapphire is regarded as the most sought-after variety due to its exceptional clarity, larger size and rarity and thus are the most expensive.

Colour

Green Sapphire varies in shade from pale to deep rich green. The green colour is sometimes the result of both yellow and blue bands which make the gem appear green to the eye.The green shadeis due to the presence of iron (FE) in the corundum. Sometimes heat treatment is used to improve the colour of sapphire and diffuse it more proportionately, making it look transparent and aesthetically appealing. The deeper the colour, the more costly it gets.

Clarity

Green Sapphire is likely to have some internal imperfections. Its clarity is judged by the level of transparency, inclusions and surface blemishes. Lesser the number of inclusions, more valuable will be the green sapphire natural stone.

Carat weight

Natural Green Sapphire crystals are rarely found in big sizes. Therefore,green sapphires sourced from Shri Lanka, which compared to other sources are larger in size, are more expensive. However, if the quality is not same, the top-quality green sapphire even in small size can get a much higher amount than low-quality stone in bigger size.

Cut

A beautifully crafted green sapphire usually avails good money in the market ascraftmanship enhances the brightness of the stone and hides the visible inclusions efficiently. If quality remains same, the round or oval shaped green sapphires are cheaper than square or other custom shapes because the cutting process of oval and round shape gem involves minimum wastage.
