What Characterises a Green Sapphire?
A green sapphire is rather subtle and less intense than the emerald with a deep green colour. The colour of a green sapphire is yellowish-green to olive green. It gets its colour from inclusions of iron in the mineral, but it is still see-through and has the typical glass lustre of corundum. The main source for green sapphires is Sri Lanka and parts of Australia. Only stones with a very low amount of iron appear green. When the amount of iron increases, the colour changes to blue.
Green sapphires, like all other non-blue sapphires, are sometimes referred to as "fancy sapphires".
Perks and Drawbacks of a Green Sapphire Engagement Ring
In an engagement ring with diamonds, a green sapphire looks particularly beautiful, as diamonds provide additional light reflections and a sensational overall picture.
Is a Coloured Diamond an Alternative to a Coloured Sapphire?
The most famous fancy green diamond is the legendary "Green Dresden'', a gemstone of just over 40 carats. The stone came from India to Europe in the 18th century. Today you can admire it in the Albertinum, the State Art Collection in Dresden.
