Green Sapphire

 

Green sapphire can occur in colours 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 very rare indeed. Most of the green sapphire you will see in the market are from Thailand or Australia. These tend to be pale green and are often blue-green or yellow-green. Green sapphire may also be found from Burma and Madagascar.
