Fine Jewelry by Francis & Linelle Lynch

We obtained this great 7.66 carat natural yellow emerald cut sapphire from the estate of a gem collector. This sapphire is from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and measures 14.22 mm in length by 9.33 mm in width by 5.71 mm in depth.

The gemstone's quality is; Hue- very slightly greenish Yellow (Chartreuse- very cool), Saturation- 3 (Medium- dark enough but still able to really sparkle), Tone- 2, very lightly included to the naked eye, and excellent polish and proportions.

There are small groups of silk inclusions and small intact crystals visible at high magnifications under a gemscope and distinct color zoning indicating that this sapphire is untreated. Almost all sapphires are enhanced by high heat treatments that change the color and or clarity of sapphire; untreated sapphires are rare and much more valuable.

This sapphire has a real sparkle that usually reserved for "canary" diamonds, and has a light green secondary color in sunlight that makes this an outstanding and rare find.7.66ct Yellow Sapphire side view
