0.67 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

Millions of years ago, beneath the towering mountains and lush landscapes of what is now Montana, a remarkable geological process began. Deep within the earth's crust, specific conditions were aligning that would lead to the creation of a unique and captivating gemstone. This process started when aluminum atoms combined with oxygen atoms under immense pressure and high temperatures. These specific conditions allowed for the formation of corundum, a crystalline form which would later be cherished as sapphire. In this environment rich with trace elements, chromium, iron, and titanium added subtlety to this formation, ultimately determining the mesmerizing coloration that distinguishes our round shape greenish blue sapphire today.

The distinctive greenish blue hue of this gemstone is a finely balanced result of its trace element composition. The interplay between iron and titanium is responsible for creating this intensely vivid color intensity, which offers a visual depth that is both fresh and enduring. This 0.67 carat sapphire, with exact dimensions of 5.28 x 5.22 x 3.57 mm, exemplifies how minute compositional variations can express profound aesthetic appeal. Its formation story is etched not just in its color, but also in its atomic lattice, tailoring how it interacts with light and creating its signature spectrum. The clarity grade of very slightly included provides a near-perfect substrate, minimizing visual disturbances while maintaining a natural character that genuine sapphire enthusiasts appreciate.
