Presenting a transparent 2.01 carat oval bluish green sapphire from Montana, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. This gem measures 8.06 x 7.00 x 4.62 mm and is fashioned in an emerald style cut that uses an oval outline combined with step facets to achieve a refined geometric appearance. The medium intense color intensity produces a balanced teal leaning toward bluish green that reads vividly in natural and artificial light, and the transparency allows for clear color transmission across the table. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that there are only minor natural features that do not detract from the visual appeal when the stone is viewed face up. The polish is excellent, giving the facet junctions a crisp finish and enabling uninterrupted light return. Heat treatment has been applied and is fully disclosed, reflecting a stable and widely accepted enhancement that brings out the inherent color and minimizes any residual zonal variation while preserving the stone's structural integrity.
The geometric faceting of this oval emerald cut is critical to the way the gem interacts with light, and it is designed to maximize light play while emphasizing color depth. Large, well defined step facets create broad planes of reflection rather than the multitude of pinpoint flashes associated with brilliant cuts, and this produces bold, directional flashes and attractive color windows that change subtly as the viewing angle shifts. In corundum, differential absorption and pleochroism can be visible, and the step facets are particularly effective at revealing those subtle shifts between greener and bluer tones, adding dynamic interest without losing tonal uniformity. The excellent polish ensures that the crown and pavilion facets act as clean mirrors, reducing surface diffusion and allowing the stone's refractive properties to manifest as bright, crisp highlights and contrasting zones. With a pavilion depth of 4.62 mm relative to an 8.06 by 7.00 mm face up dimension, the proportions are balanced to return light efficiently while maintaining the rich medium intense saturation that collectors and connoisseurs prize.
For the informed buyer, the combination of grade, cut, and origin provides a clear rationale for the stone's appeal and value. The very very slightly included clarity at eye level means the stone appears clean to the naked eye, while those natural features that do exist can serve as reliable indicators of natural origin in the absence of extensive clarity enhancement. Heat treatment is a permanent and accepted practice in sapphire enhancement, and when disclosed as it is here, it allows buyers to compare value on an apples to apples basis with other market stones. Montana origin contributes distinct market interest, as Montana sapphires are well regarded for their range of teal and greenish blue tones that differ from classic deep blue sapphires, and provenance from a recognized region often enhances collectability. The 2.01 carat weight is substantial for a hue in this color range, providing presence on the finger or in a pendant without overwhelming typical mounting designs, and the exact dimensions allow jewelers to craft a setting that complements the oval geometry and step faceting.
Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this Montana sapphire is an attractive option for buyers seeking a stone with clear technical merit and classic wearable qualities. The step faceting and excellent polish deliver defined light play and strong color expression, while the stone's corundum hardness and structural soundness make it suitable for everyday wear when set and cared for properly. We recommend independent gemological documentation for buyers who require certification of origin and treatment status, and we can advise on mounting options that preserve the gem's visual strengths, including low profile prongs to expose light to the pavilion, or a tailored bezel to protect the girdle while maintaining face up brilliance. Routine care with mild soapy water and a soft brush is effective, and professional cleaning and inspection will help ensure long term durability. For collectors and designers seeking a distinctive bluish green sapphire with demonstrable provenance, precise geometric faceting, and an informed disclosure of enhancement, this 2.01 carat Montana stone represents a compelling and well documented choice.
