1.09 Ct. Green Sapphire from Montana

This beautiful transparent 1.09 carat cushion shape green sapphire measures 5.56 x 5.53 x 4.32 mm, and is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation and light return. Graded at very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this stone exhibits exceptional clarity to the naked eye, with only minute inclusions detectable under magnification. The color displays an intense green saturation, a balanced tone that is vivid without appearing overly dark, reflecting the characteristic grassy to forest green range often associated with Montana sapphires. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and lively reflections across the table and crown, and this sapphire is natural with no enhancement, a quality that markedly increases its desirability among informed collectors and connoisseurs.

From a gemological and practical perspective this Montana sapphire offers several attributes that make it an enduring and valuable choice. As corundum, sapphire rates a nine on the Mohs scale, ensuring long term durability for daily wear and making it well suited to rings and heirloom pieces. The cushion shape combined with the mixed brilliant cut provides a pleasing visual spread for a 1.09 carat gem, allowing the intense color and transparency to remain the focal point from multiple viewing angles. The untreated origin from Montana adds provenance value, as these stones are prized for unique local color expressions and for being natural, unenhanced material. For the educated buyer, the combination of eye clean clarity, intense natural color, superior polish, and stable corundum structure means this gemstone will continue to captivate over the years, maintaining both aesthetic appeal and collectable value. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is an excellent choice for those seeking a natural, untreated, and well graded green sapphire that will perform beautifully in jewellery and stand the test of time.
