1.92 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

The story of this sapphire begins in the high, sweeping riverbeds of Montana where slow geological patience forged a stone unlike most. Buried within ancient gravels, this crystal lived a long life of pressure and time, gathering a cool, ocean like bluish green tone that is at once tranquil and arresting. Miners who know these streams speak of Montana sapphires as treasures of place, stones that carry the colors of glacier fed rivers and alpine shadows, and this particular gem arrived to our cutting room with that same quiet provenance. From the first unpolished sample it was clear that this stone held something special, a color that sits between blue and green in a balanced, medium light intensity that is not easily reproduced by the larger, more common sapphires of other origins.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we follow that geological story into the hands of master cutters who shape the rough into its final elegant form. This sapphire was fashioned into an oval shape with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize both fire and depth, and the results are evident when light moves across the table. Weighing 1.92 carats and measuring 8.19 by 6.63 by 4.63 millimeters, it lives in a size class that is uncommon for this particular bluish green hue. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone reads as transparent and clean to the unaided eye, while tiny natural features become part of the gem story when viewed closely. The polish is excellent, and a careful, controlled heat treatment was applied to enhance tone and clarity in a manner that is standard and accepted in the trade, preserving the stone’s natural character while elevating its visual presence.

What makes this sapphire rare is the combination of its size and its precise color. Montana sapphires are celebrated for their range of blue green and teal shades, but finding a nearly two carat example with medium light intensity and such even, bluish green balance is uncommon. Many comparable stones may show stronger blue or stronger green, or exist only at smaller sizes where the color reads differently under the faceting, and many larger sapphires of similar tint come from other sources and lack the same subtle clarity and regional character. The mixed brilliant cut brings a lively, scintillating personality to the gem, so that in some lights the stone reads more ocean blue, and in others it leans toward a soft sea glass green. That chameleon quality is part of the allure, and it is exactly the contrast between rarity in size and rarity in hue that makes this piece stand out for collectors and for anyone seeking an engagement gem with an individual voice.

When set, this sapphire becomes a wearable fragment of Montana landscape, a compact compass needle pointing back to riverbeds and sky. Its oval silhouette sits comfortably on the finger and pairs beautifully with a range of designs from classic solitaires to more elaborate halo settings that accentuate color and sparkle. For customers seeking provenance and a tactile connection to place, this gem carries a clear and honest narrative, documented by its origin and by the thoughtful steps of cutting and finishing it received at The Natural Sapphire Company. We invite you to imagine the stone in a bespoke setting, to touch the cool surface and watch the color live, and to carry with you a gemstone that combines geological history, exacting craftsmanship, and a very rare alignment of size and bluish green color that is seldom offered on the market.
