Which owing to the combined lack of extant demand, and the popularity of Emeralds in the market for green gemstones means that green sapphires have not really flooded the market. However, the flow of gemstones from other sapphire supplying nations like Myanmar and Thailand have not kept up. With key countries of origin being Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Australia and in more recent times, the United States (coming under the Montana Sapphire range) being the major sources.

Green sapphires, owing to their lack of popularity, the market for green sapphires is not as well established as the blue variant. These and other elements of this gemstone shall uncover here. The key selling point of green sapphire is the combination of colour + its status as a precious gemstone. However, green sapphires owing to their relative rarity, fall into the niche gemstone category within the sapphire range.
