    These are Opaque Green to give a natural emerald look.

    Lab-Created Green Sapphire (Flux Fusion Method)

    Lab-created green sapphire produced by the flux fusion method is a synthetic form of corundum grown by slowly crystallising aluminium oxide from a molten flux, closely replicating the conditions under which some natural sapphires form. This process produces high-quality gemstones with excellent clarity, durability and natural-looking crystal growth features.

    The finished gemstone has the same chemical, physical and optical properties as natural green sapphire. Its green colour is created by adding trace amounts of colouring elements during growth, while the flux acts only as a solvent and is not part of the finished crystal.

    Opaque Green Colour Description

    We try to match the colour of the photos as close as possible with the colour of the gemstone, but like natural stones cz varies slightly in colour within the material and depth of colour varies with the size of the stone. Colour descriptions vary online and screen colour settings vary, so it is impossible to be spot on with the colour.

    If you have photos or videos of this stone, or artwork or jewellery you have made using this stone, you can upload them below. The link includes the option to advertise your website if you have a website that sells jewellery with our stones in it.
