1.24 Ct. Green Sapphire from Montana

This 1.24 carat round green sapphire from Montana brings together size, clarity, and color in a way that outperforms many market alternatives, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it to collectors and designers who demand a true statement gem. At 6.30 x 6.29 x 4.28 mm, this stone sits in a sweet spot where it is large enough to read confidently on the finger or pendant, yet retains a balanced profile for everyday wear. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return while preserving the gemstone weight, so compared with shallower commercial cuts that sacrifice depth for diameter, this sapphire exhibits superior brilliance and a lively face up appearance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone looks clean to the unaided eye, and the combination of intense color intensity and excellent polish gives it a striking visual punch without the need for larger carat weights that often compromise optical performance.

When you compare this Montana green sapphire to typical green sapphires available from other sources, several advantages become clear. Many stones in this hue are either too dark and muddy or too pale and washed out, but this gem shows a saturated, intense green that shifts and scintillates, offering dynamic presence under different lighting. The heat treatment used here is a common, stable enhancement that refines the color while preserving the gem's natural character, a preferable outcome to more invasive treatments that can affect durability and resale value. In terms of value, a well cut 1.24 carat round with very slight eye level inclusions commands a rare balance of affordability and impact, making it ideal for a bold solitaire ring or a central pendant that needs to anchor a design. The modest inclusions add to its natural origin story from Montana, a source prized for unique green and teal sapphires, and the excellent polish ensures each facet speaks with clarity and fire. If you are choosing a centerpiece that should be noticed for both quality and individuality, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a superior option to common mass market stones, combining wearable size, clean presentation, and a color that defines a true statement piece.
