1.12 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

This 1.12 carat cushion shape greenish blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a distinct alternative to the more common heat treated deep blue sapphires found on the market. Measuring 6.57 x 5.00 x 3.63 mm and fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, this stone combines the lively scintillation of brilliant facets with the soft, classic silhouette of a cushion shape, producing a face up presence that reads larger and more lively than its carat weight alone. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the gem is transparent with an excellent polish, so it yields crisp light return and a clean, sophisticated look that rivals eye clean stones from Sri Lanka and Madagascar while retaining the cooler, greenish blue tone that Montana sapphires are prized for. Unlike many commercial sapphires that undergo heat treatment to intensify color, this sapphire is natural with no enhancement, which adds tangible value for collectors and buyers seeking authentic, untreated gemstones.

The origin of this sapphire, Montana, contributes meaningfully to its appeal and market value. Montana sapphires are renowned for their unique palette of pastel and teal hues that are difficult to replicate elsewhere, and their American provenance speaks to traceability and responsible sourcing in a market where treatment and origin affect both price and desirability. Compared to classic cornflower blues from Kashmir or vivid royal blues from Burma, this Montana stone offers a subtler, more modern color story that complements contemporary jewelry design while maintaining a connection to natural rarity. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem with careful selection and transparent documentation, ensuring you receive an ethically sourced, untreated sapphire with superb cut and polish. For a buyer who values authenticity, distinctive color, and a clean, lively presentation, this Montana cushion sapphire represents superior value and uniqueness relative to many mass market alternatives, and it makes an exceptional centerpiece for a bespoke engagement ring or an elegant, timeless pendant.
