1.06 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Montana

This transparent 1.06 carat oval shape bi color sapphire began its story deep in the storied gravels and alluvial pockets of Montana, a place where cold rivers and ancient rock have whispered color into corundum for millions of years. Mined from the same rugged landscapes that have made Montana sapphires admired around the world, this stone carries the quiet signature of its origin, a subtle interplay of earthy warmth and dusky coolness that is the hallmark of North American sapphire deposits. The bi color nature of this gem reflects the layered conditions of its formation, capturing two distinct hues within a single crystal as the environment shifted during growth. That provenance adds tangible value, because Montana sapphires are prized not only for their unique and often understated palette, but also for the connection they maintain to traceable, artisanal mining traditions. When you choose a sapphire with this origin, you are choosing a gem with a narrative, a sense of place, and a geological history that enhances its rarity and desirability.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we take that raw narrative and refine it into a jewel ready to wear, while honoring the stone s natural character. This particular sapphire measures 6.44 by 5.69 by 3.19 mm, features a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes sparkle while preserving color zoning, and displays a medium intense color intensity that shifts with the light. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, an excellent balance of transparency and natural identity. The gem has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that deepens tone and improves clarity, and the polish is excellent, allowing facets to play with light and reveal the gem s inner duality. At 1.06 carat and with these proportions, it is ideal for an intimate solitaire setting or a layered vintage design that celebrates its bi color character. By choosing a Montana sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you receive not only meticulous cutting and ethical sourcing, but also a piece that carries the story of land and time, crafted into a wearable relic that feels personal and singular.
