💎 Blue Green Sapphire vs Teal Sapphire: What’s the Difference?

Term	Common Use	Description
Teal Sapphire	Popular with jewelers & consumers	Even mix of blue and green – classic "teal" tone
Blue Green Sapphire	Technical or broad usage	Any sapphire with blue-green spectrum, may lean more blue or more green

 

✅ Teal sapphire usually refers to sapphires with an even blend, while blue green sapphire includes a wider range of tones within that color space.

🎨 2. Understanding Sapphire Color Grading

Sapphire color is graded based on:

• Hue: The basic color (e.g., blue, green)

• Tone: Lightness or darkness of the stone

• Saturation: Intensity or vividness of the color

A teal sapphire is typically:

• Medium to dark tone

• High saturation

• Balanced hue: 50% blue, 50% green

Blue green sapphires may lean:

• 60–70% blue, 30–40% green or vice versa

• May include slight zoning or uneven tones

🛍️ 3. Buying Tips: What to Look For

When shopping for a teal or blue green sapphire, consider:

✅ Color Balance

• For teal: Equal mix of blue and green

• For blue green: Acceptable as long as it's visually appealing

✅ Clarity

• Eye-clean sapphires are more valuable

• Avoid stones with visible inclusions that reduce brilliance

✅ Cut

• Cushion, oval, and round cuts enhance color play

• Precision cutting brings out zoning and bi-color effects

✅ Treatment Disclosure

• Ask if the stone is heat-treated (common and acceptable)

• Untreated stones are rarer and more valuable

• diffused and berilium treated, crack filled stones are not acceptable and fetch a low value

✅ Certification

• Always ask for certification
