0.44 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

This transparent pear shape sapphire weighs 0.44 carats, and measures 5.92 by 4.08 by 2.54 millimeters, with an overall depth that equates to approximately 51 percent relative to the average of the length and width. The hue presents as bluish green with a medium intense color intensity, and the stone exhibits excellent polish and facet crisps that communicate refined lapidary control. The cut is a mixed brilliant style, tailored to the pear outline to balance scintillation and color delivery, and the material is heat treated to optimize tone and saturation. Origin is Montana, a source noted for distinct teal to bluish green sapphire colors, and the clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating small internal features that do not obstruct light return across the table.

The mixed brilliant faceting in this pear profile combines a brilliant facet schema on the crown with a modified pavilion geometry designed to preserve depth of color while maintaining lively return of light. Crown facets are proportioned to produce strong dispersion and a pleasing table window, while pavilion facets are angled and sized to prevent light leakage through the tip and culet area, enhancing face up brightness in practical lighting. Given corundum s refractive index, which is typically 1.76 to 1.77, the cutter tuned pavilion and crown angles to the material s optical constants to achieve balanced brilliance versus color saturation, a technical choice that benefits a bluish green tone where too shallow a cut can wash out color and too deep a cut can create dark regions. The excellent polish observed on each facet junction yields crisp facet reflections and reduces surface scattering, and the pear outline is finished with a proportionate girdle profile to allow secure setting without compromising outline symmetry.

Clarity described as very slightly included at eye level indicates that inclusions are present but minor, often manifesting as small crystals or feathery growth features typical to Montana sapphires, which can add character without materially diminishing transparency. Under magnification these features can be useful for identification, and at normal viewing distances the stone remains transparent with lively brilliancy. For jewelry design, consider a setting that protects the pointed end of the pear shape, such as a bezel or a secure prong with a reinforced tip, to guard against accidental impact while presenting the table for optimal light entry. Metal choices will influence perceived color balance, with cooler metals such as platinum or white gold emphasizing the blue component, and warmer metals such as yellow or rose gold subtly bringing forward green nuances. The 0.44 carat weight and compact dimensions make this sapphire an excellent choice for solitaire pendants, three stone rings, or as a refined accent stone in bespoke pieces, offering a versatile platform for both modern and classic settings.

Beyond its gemological qualities, sapphires have long been associated with metaphysical attributes that many customers find meaningful, and this bluish green Montana sapphire aligns with traditions that ascribe calming, clarifying, and communicative energies to the stone. Practitioners often associate blue and green sapphire tones with the throat and heart energy centers, suggesting enhanced clarity of expression and balanced emotional insight, and the teal quality that bridges blue and green is commonly regarded as supportive of both honest communication and steady compassion. The heat treatment applied to this sapphire is a standard gemological enhancement that stabilizes and enhances color, and for those who work with gemstones on an energetic level, such treatments are generally considered to refine visible qualities without negating symbolic associations. It is important to note that metaphysical properties are cultural and spiritual beliefs, and are not scientifically proven, however many wearers report a subjective sense of calm, focus, and emotional grounding when wearing such stones.
