A Natural Yellow Sapphire is a variety of sapphire that comes in shades of yellow, ranging from pale yellow to intense golden hues. It’s a precious gemstone from the corundum family, the same as other sapphires, such as blue and pink.
Here are some key details about Natural Yellow Sapphires:
Yellow sapphires are primarily made of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and their yellow color is due to trace amounts of iron (Fe) present in the stone. Like all sapphires, they are formed under extreme heat and pressure deep within the Earth’s crust over millions of years.
The yellow color in sapphires can vary in tone from light pale yellow to a deep golden yellow. The more intense and vivid the yellow, the more valuable the stone can be.
