1.48 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Greenish Blue Sapphire Pair from Montana

This pair of greenish blue sapphires from Montana presents a rare combination of matched weight, refined cutting, and transparent clarity, qualities that discerning buyers value. The stones weigh 0.72 carats and 0.76 carats respectively, with measured dimensions of 5.60 by 4.95 by 3.67 millimeters, and 5.71 by 5.00 by 3.46 millimeters. Both are fashioned in a fancy geometric profile resembling a hexagonal motif, and they are finished in a mixed brilliant cut that balances large facet planes with a faceted pavilion to enhance both sparkle and color return. Color is described as greenish blue with medium intense saturation, a tone that is particularly appealing for jewelry seeking a distinctive yet wearable blue. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall transparency or brilliance. The polish on both stones is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and lively surface reflection. For full disclosure these sapphires have been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that brings out their optimal color without compromising durability.

From a gemological perspective these sapphires offer several attributes that enhance their value to an educated buyer. The mixed brilliant cut is purposefully chosen to maximize internal light performance while preserving weight and maintaining pleasing proportions for small to medium jewelry settings. The combination of good table dimensions and thoughtful pavilion faceting produces a strong interplay of scintillation and color, so the medium intense greenish blue appears consistent under typical lighting. The clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level means that under magnification one may observe tiny mineral inclusions or pinpoint crystals, but these features are small, well positioned, and do not create structural concerns. Heat treatment is an industry standard for sapphires, executed to improve color uniformity and saturation, and when properly performed it is permanent and stable over time. For buyers who prioritize technical documentation The Natural Sapphire Company provides full provenance information and can arrange independent gemological reports on request, supporting informed purchasing decisions and facilitating insurance or appraisal needs.
