Collection: Green/Teal Sapphires

Teal sapphires are truly one of nature's wonders, with their unique and mesmerising coloration. Their blend of blue and green hues creates a captivating effect that is beautiful and unique. As a result, they have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially among those looking for a unique and distinctive gemstone for their Jewellery.

What makes teal sapphires so special is their complex colour profile, which is caused by the presence of both iron and titanium in the crystal structure of the stone. This creates a range of hues, from pale green to deep blue, that blend together in a harmonious way to create a beautiful and captivating gemstone.

Teal sapphires are generally sourced from basaltic Sapphire deposits, with the main sources being Australia, Northern Madagascar, Montana (USA), Tanzania, Kenya, and Nigeria. Stones from different locations have their own unique characteristics, with those from Australia and Nigeria tending to be darker due to the higher iron content, while those from Kenya and Tanzania generally having more earthy tones and sometimes grey hues.

However, the most highly prized teal sapphires come from Montana in the USA and Ambondromifehy in northern Madagascar. These gems are highly sought after for their exceptional coloration, with the ideal blend of blue and green needed for the perfect teal making up only a small percentage of the production. As a result, these gems are rare and highly coveted, making them a valuable addition to any gemstone collection.
