0.99 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Montana

One of the first things that sets this stone apart is its geometric faceting, executed in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize light play and internal return. The precise arrangement of pavilion and crown facets creates a lively interplay of brilliance and scintillation, so the gem flashes and dances with movement, far beyond what a simple step cut or shallow commercial cut will produce. At 0.99 carat and an oval shape with dimensions of 5.90 x 5.10 x 3.86 mm, this sapphire sits in a perfect sweet spot for fine jewelry, offering a pleasing face up size without sacrificing depth that allows the crown and pavilion facets to function optimally. The transparent quality of the stone enhances the effect of the geometric faceting, allowing light to penetrate, refract, and return as bright flashes, and the excellent polish ensures that those return rays are undimmed by surface haze.

Compared to many sapphires available on the market, this bi color Montana sapphire delivers a unique visual story, with medium color intensity that shifts and reveals multiple tones as the viewing angle changes. While single color stones can be sumptuous, they are often predictable, and lower grade materials can appear flat under mixed lighting. This sapphire, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, offers a rare combination of clean transparency and character, where tiny inclusions do not interfere with light performance but instead can add depth to the visual effect. Many commercially sourced stones sacrifice cut precision or clarity to hit a price point, or they are cut to yield weight rather than optical beauty. By contrast, the controlled heat treatment applied here is an industry standard that stabilizes color and opens the gem up optically, making the most of the expert facet geometry without compromising durability. The Montana origin adds further distinction, as stones from this region are prized for subtle, complex tones and excellent crystalline quality, giving this sapphire an estate style elegance that is increasingly sought after.

When you compare this gem with others in the same size and price range, the mixed brilliant faceting and the care taken with polish and proportions become clear value differentiators. Where many alternatives will look dull in certain lights or exhibit light leakage, this stone returns light efficiently across all viewing angles, due to its geometric design that balances pavilion angles, crown height, and table size. This makes it an ideal choice for custom engagement rings, a solitaire pendant, or a bespoke three stone setting, because it will remain lively and engaging in daily wear and under differing light sources. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as an example of how thoughtful cutting and honest grading combine to produce a stone that is both beautiful and intelligent in its behavior. If the goal is to own a sapphire that feels superior in quality, visual complexity, and overall value, this Montana bi color sapphire stands out, delivering the optical fire of a well cut brilliant with the individuality that only a genuine natural stone can provide.
