Weight: 1.41 Carats (CT). This is a desirable mid-size weight for a faceted sapphire, suitable for a prominent center stone in a ring or pendant.
Treatment: Must be verified by lab report. Natural yellow sapphires are commonly heated to:
Improve color (remove brownish tones, intensify yellow).
Enhance clarity (dissolve silk inclusions).
“No heat” or untreated stones are rarer and command a significant premium. Be wary of diffusion-treated stones (color only on surface) or beryllium diffusion to create yellow/orange hues.
Body (Clarity/Transparency): Yellow sapphires typically range from Eye-Clean to Moderately Included. The 1.41ct size should be examined for visible inclusions that affect brilliance. It should exhibit high transparency and a vitreous luster. Look for good cutting that maximizes the stone’s natural bright, buttery yellow to golden yellow color without windowing or extinction.
Given its value, a 1.41-carat natural yellow sapphire must be accompanied by a reputable gemological laboratory report (e.g., GIA, AGL, GIT, SSEF) to confirm:
Natural Origin (not synthetic).
Treatment Disclosure (heated or no heat).
Color Origin (natural, not beryllium-diffused).
Without such certification, its identity, treatment, and value cannot be reliably assessed.
