1.12 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

This transparent greenish blue sapphire weighs 1.12 carat and is fashioned into an elegant oval shape with measured dimensions of 6.85 x 5.14 x 4.12 mm, presenting a balanced and wearable profile. The stone is cut to a mixed brilliant faceting style, combining a step pavilion with a brilliant crown to optimize both color and light performance. The finish is an excellent polish, which enhances surface reflection and allows the internal color to present with clarity and depth. Origin is Montana, a source known for distinct blue and green blue tones, and the sapphire has received heat treatment as a stable enhancement to intensify hue and improve clarity. These specifications together create a gem with precise proportions and an appearance that reads as both substantial and refined in everyday wear.

Clarity is graded very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which indicates that inclusions are minor and do not interrupt the overall visual appeal when the gem is observed without magnification. Under usual viewing conditions the stone displays open transparency and a clean face up presentation, allowing for consistent light return and a pleasing visual texture. The mixed brilliant cut contributes to balanced scintillation and a lively play of light, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and minimal surface disturbance. These factors mean the sapphire will sit confidently in a variety of jewelry settings and maintain a composed presence on the finger or in a pendant.

The color of this sapphire is described as greenish blue with intense color intensity, a combination that offers both vibrancy and versatility. The intense saturation gives the gem a strong presence, while the greenish blue nuance introduces a distinctive character that sets it apart from more conventional blue sapphires. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance these traits in a permanent and stable manner, a common and accepted practice in fine colored gemstones that preserves the natural origin and structure of the crystal while improving its aesthetic attributes. As a corundum mineral with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, the sapphire possesses excellent durability for daily wear, and the intense hue and polished surface will continue to captivate as the stone ages, with color stability maintained through normal use and proper care.
