This 0.29 carat oval sapphire from Montana is presented by The Natural Sapphire Company with precise cutting and uniform symmetry, the dimensions measure 4.95 x 3.11 x 2.17 millimeters, the proportional depth is about 54 percent which contributes to a balanced face up presence, the mixed brilliant cut pairs a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a carefully faceted pavilion to maximize scintillation while conserving weight, the transparent bluish green hue displays medium color intensity which reads evenly across the table and through the girdle, clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, inclusions are minor and do not interrupt the stone's overall transparency, polish is excellent producing crisp facet junctions and strong facet reflections, the sapphire has been heat treated which is a stable enhancement for this material and is common in fine Montana sapphires.
From a durability perspective this gem benefits from the intrinsic properties of corundum, the mineral species for sapphire, which rates 9 on the Mohs scale and offers superior resistance to scratching compared with most jewelry gemstones, corundum has no true cleavage which reduces the risk of catastrophic splitting under impact, the mixed brilliant cut with an appropriate depth helps protect facet edges and minimizes surface contact in mounted settings, heat treatment applied to enhance color does not compromise structural integrity when performed correctly, for daily wear we recommend secure settings such as a bezel or a well designed prong setting with a low profile mount to protect the girdle and pavilion, routine care should avoid prolonged exposure to harsh acids and strong oxidizers and occasional ultrasonic cleaning is acceptable provided the mounting is inspected first, for customers seeking a technically sound, wearable sapphire that combines attractive color, excellent polish and reliable toughness, this Montana bluish green oval is a refined choice from The Natural Sapphire Company.
