Teal sapphire’s captivating hue and innate attributes that make it ideal for jewellery are fuelling demand for this coloured gemstone, which is increasingly making its way into jewellery collections.
A member of the corundum family, which includes blue sapphire and ruby, teal sapphire exhibits a mix of blue and green colours, often in varying intensities. This colour combination results from the presence of trace elements, primarily iron and titanium, within the crystal structure. The ratio and concentration of these elements determine the exact shade of teal, which can range from a more blue-dominant tone to one with a stronger green presence.
