About the stone

Green sapphire is a variety of corundum, prized for its green hues that range from delicate yellow-green tones to a deep, saturated green. Unlike the classic blue sapphire, the green variety owes its color to traces of iron in its structure. It is associated with calm, inner balance, and wisdom.

As a corundum variety, green sapphire is exceptionally durable (hardness 9 on the Mohs scale), making it ideal for jewelry worn every day. We recommend protecting it from major impacts and cleaning it gently to maintain its brilliance.
