From the cool river gravels of Montana to the warm light of a jewel box, this bi color sapphire began its story beneath wide skies and weathered rock. Miners who have worked those historic deposits saw in its raw form a promise of dual tones, a quiet shift of color that seemed to gather the landscape itself. Careful hand sorting brought a single transparent rough forward, its potential recognized by experienced eyes. This is the stone that became a 1.05 carat, round shape sapphire, measuring 6.07 by 6.09 by 4.05 mm, a gem that carries the memory of mountain streambeds and sunlit canyons.
The transformation from rough to finished gem was guided by respect for the stone s natural character, and by skilled cutting that enhances rather than conceals. A cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to open the sapphire s inner life, to balance sparkling table facets with deep pavilion facets that reveal its bi color personality. The result is a gem with medium intense color intensity, excellent polish, and a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, offering both sparkle and honest natural character. This sapphire received a standard enhancement of heat treated to refine its color and stability, a carefully applied process that is common and well understood, preserving the integrity of the original Montana material.
At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace every step of this gem s journey, from Montana s gravels to our studio bench, where final checks and measurements confirm the stone s 1.05 carat weight and its precise 6.07 by 6.09 by 4.05 mm proportions. We imagine it set as a solitaire that lets the bi color shift speak, or as the centerpiece in a design that celebrates contrast and light. Its transparent body, its very very slightly included clarity, its medium intense color intensity and its excellent polish make it an excellent choice for a piece meant to be worn and admired every day. Owning this sapphire is owning a story of place and skill, a small slice of Montana carried into new moments and new traditions.
