1.26 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

One beautiful transparent 1.26 carat oval shape greenish blue sapphire from Montana, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, offers an opportunity to own a rare and singular treasure, a gem that speaks to collectors and connoisseurs who understand the true meaning of exclusivity. This sapphire measures 7.40 by 5.31 by 4.03 mm, and it has been masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to balance brilliant sparkle with elegant depth. With an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, the stone captures and returns light with a lively, sophisticated glow that reveals hints of sea glass and deep alpine lakes under different lighting. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a mark of its natural origin and individual character. The gem has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that refines the rich hue without diminishing authenticity. As a single, distinct piece drawn from Montana deposits, this sapphire is scarce, and ownership places you among an elite group who appreciate gemstones with provenance, personality, and provenance confirmed by the experts at The Natural Sapphire Company.

Durability is a defining virtue of this sapphire, making it an ideal choice for jewelry intended for daily wear. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, and this exceptional hardness translates directly into resistance to scratches from most everyday materials and activities. The mixed brilliant cut enhances structural integrity by maintaining a balanced pavilion and crown, and the excellent polish further reduces surface wear by minimizing microabrasions. The modest, natural inclusions that give this sapphire its slightly included clarity do not compromise its toughness. In fact they are often embraced by collectors as proof of a gemstone s journey and natural formation. Because the heat treatment applied to this stone is stable and permanent, the intense greenish blue coloration will endure through years of light exposure and routine wear. For additional protection in high wear settings, we recommend classic prong work or a protective bezel setting, both of which can be executed with meticulous attention to safety by the craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company.

Beyond its admirable technical performance, this Montana sapphire offers a rare aesthetic that makes it effortlessly wearable day after day while remaining unmistakably refined. The greenish blue color sits in a wonderful equilibrium between blue and teal, a hue that flatters a wide range of metal colors and skin tones. The oval profile measures elegantly on the finger, yet is compact enough to pair seamlessly with other jewels for a layered look. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize scintillation while preserving a depth of tone, so each movement reveals flashes of brighter blue and greener teal, enhancing the perceived size and lively personality of the gem. Whether set in an engagement ring that will be worn every day, a pendant that rests close to the heart, or a bespoke pair of stud earrings, this sapphire has the composure and resilience to become a lifetime companion. The Natural Sapphire Company offers custom design guidance to ensure that your chosen mount not only complements the stone s singular color and cut but also provides the structural security needed for daily life.

Our relationship with collectors and clients is built on trust, transparency, and an insistence on absolute quality, which is why this sapphire comes with full disclosure of its origin and enhancement, and with access to our design and setting expertise. Caring for the stone is straightforward and in harmony with everyday living. Routine cleaning with mild soap and warm water, gentle brushing with a soft brush, and occasional professional inspection of the setting are all that is required to maintain its radiance. Avoiding strong acids and prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures will preserve the stone s setting and any accompanying metalwork, while the sapphire itself will retain its intense color and exceptional polish. Because this is a single, museum quality piece from Montana, once it moves into a new collection it is unlikely that an identical counterpart will be available again, a reality that heightens the appeal of immediate acquisition. If you desire a bespoke setting or wish to view the gem in person, the gem specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company are ready to guide you, ensuring that your purchase is not only a celebration of rarity and beauty, but also a practical and enduring choice for daily wear.
