0.23 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

In the hush before morning, a small oval of greenish blue light waits to be discovered, a jewel that feels like a secret tide pulled from the Montana hills. This gem is a transparent 0.23 carat oval sapphire, measured precisely at 4.84 x 3.00 x 2.00 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant pattern to coax every whisper of fire from its depths. Its color reads as an intense wash, where sea glass meets alpine sky, a hue that gathers the attention of the heart while remaining quietly refined. The polish is excellent, every facet finished with the care of a practiced hand, so that the surface shimmers and reflects with a soft, continuous glow. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone carries internal stories that are visible without magnification, and the piece has been heat treated to deepen and stabilize that alluring greenish blue tone. The origin is Montana, and with that provenance comes an earthy elegance and a romance that is rugged as a river and gentle as mist.

Look closely and you will see the inclusions that give this sapphire its unmistakable signature, tiny internal features that read like a map of memory. There are delicate needle like wisps that thread through the stone, like moonlight caught in the grain of a forest, and small feather like veils that soften the sparkle into a more intimate kind of brilliance. Pinpoint reflections scatter across the pavilion, like distant campfires reflected on a quiet lake, and together these inclusions create a fingerprint that is utterly singular. Because the stone is slightly included at eye level, these features are part of the very personality you will wear, evidence of the gem s natural journey through pressure and time. Rather than detract, these internal markings add depth and narrative, they make each glance into the stone an act of discovery, and they ensure that no two moments of reflection are ever identical.

The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to marry scintillation with color, so that every facet plays a role in balancing blue and green, light and shadow. As light travels through the sapphire, the internal inclusions scatter that light into softer tones, creating flashes that feel like secret notes in a love song. This is a gem that responds beautifully to careful design, and it will sing in settings where intimacy is emphasized, such as a low bezel that protects the stone while allowing its character to breathe, or a delicate halo that frames the oval without overwhelming it. Pairing recommendations include warm metals like yellow gold to bring forward the green undertones, rose gold for a romantic contrast, or platinum for a modern, cool embrace of the blue. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this Montana treasure, because we know true romance is often found in treasures that show their history, not hide it, and this sapphire is perfect for an engagement piece that values personality over perfection, or for a keepsake that carries a private geography of light.
