Green Sapphire Gemstones
Sapphire, a variety of the mineral corundum, is usually considered to be blue, but in fact it occurs in a wide range of colors except for red. That’s because the gem industry uses the name ruby for red corundum, in recognition of the special value we attach to the hardest of all red gemstones.
Blue is such an important color for sapphire that the term sapphire in the gem trade always refers to blue sapphire. Other colors of sapphire are called fancy sapphire, and the colors include pink, yellow, orange, green, violet and white. The wide range of colors in corundum is caused by different impurities such as chromium, titanium and iron.
Among the fancy sapphires, yellow has been especially valued, in large part because of its place as one of the nine planetary gems in the Vedic astrological tradition. Pink sapphire one of the rarest of the fancy sapphires, and can usually be found only in small sizes.
Green sapphire was once thought of as one of the less desirable colors, but is now increasingly popular, though no one is quite sure why. Perhaps it is because green has always been an important gemstone color (think emerald, tourmaline and tsavorite garnet) and green sapphire is fairly rare. Apart from emerald, sapphire is the only precious gem that occurs in green.
Green sapphire can occur in colors ranging from a light mint green to a dark forest green. The finest green sapphire is thought to come from Sri Lanka, but they are quite rare. Most of the green sapphires you will see in the market are from Thailand or Australia. These tend to darker green and are often blue-green or yellow-green. Green sapphire may also be found from Burma and Madagascar.
