0.80 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

Imagine holding a small piece of the sky and sea combined, a delicate heart of bluish green that seems to remember the light of distant glaciers. This is a transparent 0.80 carat fancy shape sapphire from Montana, its dimensions 6.94 x 5.77 x 2.92 mm folding the world into a gem that is both intimate and expansive. Its medium color intensity whispers rather than shouts, a softened ocean hue that invites closer inspection, and because this sapphire has received no enhancement the color you see is entirely natural. The clarity is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to its purity and to the careful eye of the cutter, and an excellent polish wraps each facet in a glassy finish that lets emotion and light pass through with rare ease. At The Natural Sapphire Company we love stones that tell a genuine story, and this Montana sapphire carries the quiet language of place, of cold streams and sunlit rock, of a landscape folded into color and crystal.

The step cut chosen for this gem is a deliberate and poetic geometry, a sequence of parallel facets that act like a series of soft mirrors, guiding light inward and then outward with elegant restraint. Rather than scattering light into a thousand tiny sparks, the step cut creates broad, lucid flashes, planes of color that move slowly across the surface like tides, revealing the depth of the bluish green in measured breaths. With its pavilion depth of 2.92 mm and measured angles, each step is a channel for internal reflection, coaxing longer flashes of hue and shadow that emphasize the sapphire s transparency and medium intensity. The excellent polish sharpens those planes, allowing crisp reflections that play against the gem s calm color, while the very very slightly included clarity ensures that light flows freely without distraction. The result is a gem that glows from within, a lantern of cool color whose reflections are controlled and refined, ideal for designs that prize thoughtful radiance over frenetic fire.

When set, this sapphire becomes a quiet soliloquy at the center of a ring, a pendant, or a pair of earrings, its fancy shape lending individuality and its step cut lending a timeless architectural grace. Against the skin it reads as a memory of water, a secret carried close, and because it has no enhancement its story is true and unadorned. The proportions 6.94 by 5.77 by 2.92 millimeters make it versatile for delicate solitaire settings or for cradling within a halo that will contrast the step facets with brilliant surrounds. For the person who seeks a stone that balances romance and restraint, this Montana sapphire offers both the poetry of natural color and the clarity of expert cutting. From The Natural Sapphire Company we present it as an invitation to craft a piece that will hold light and meaning in equal measure, a small but resolute companion for a lifetime of moments.
