0.79 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

This 0.79 carat fancy shape bluish green sapphire from Montana represents a rare combination of natural origin, clean transparency, and meticulous finishing, qualities that set it apart from many mass market alternatives, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with full commitment to provenance and integrity. The stone measures 6.71 x 5.59 x 3.35 mm, and its step cut emphasizes its architectural form, giving a crisp, modern presence that feels intentional and refined. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the gem reads as clean to the naked eye, avoiding the distractions of heavier inclusions that frequently diminish brilliance in lower tier stones. The medium color intensity provides a versatile bluish green tone that reads elegant and natural, rather than artificially enhanced, and the excellent polish ensures each plane and facet catches the light with clarity. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, a distinction that matters when comparing value and longevity, because untreated sapphires retain their natural color and structure without risk of fading or altering when exposed to everyday wear.

The geometric faceting employed in this step cut is the technical heart of the stone, and it is what produces the maximum controlled light play that discerning buyers seek, compared to standard brilliant or mixed cuts that rely on small scintillating facets for sparkle, the step cut uses larger, flat facets arranged in precise planes, and this creates a hall of mirrors effect that returns light in broad flashes and defined flashes of color. Where a round brilliant may dazzle with scintillation, this Montana step cut sapphire offers a sophisticated interplay of depth and reflection, showing internal planes of color that shift gently as the gem moves, rather than a busy scatter of sparkles. The larger facets also allow the medium color intensity to read more evenly through the gem, avoiding the windowing or dark zones that can make treated stones look flat. Excellent polish and exact facet junctions are crucial to extracting the full benefit of this geometry, and this gem exhibits that level of finishing, giving crisp facet edges and smooth reflective planes that emphasize the bluish green tone while maximizing light return. The combination of step faceting and very slightly included clarity means the stone appears clean at eye level, yet it retains natural character that often appeals to collectors and connoisseurs who prefer authenticity over perfection.

When comparing this sapphire to other options on the market, its untreated origin, precise step cut, and well balanced color place it in a superior position for buyers seeking genuine value and unique aesthetics, many commercially sold sapphires are heat treated to deepen color, or cut in common shapes to maximize yield at the expense of character, and such choices can reduce both the long term desirability and the transparency of the gem, this Montana sapphire, by contrast, offers a naturally derived bluish green hue and a cutting style that enhances both presence and light performance. The size and proportions of 6.71 x 5.59 x 3.35 mm are ideal for bespoke settings where the geometric faceting can be showcased, and because there is no enhancement the gem will maintain its color and structural integrity through daily wear. From a value perspective, untreated stones with excellent polish and a refined cut command respect in the secondary market, and they appeal to buyers who prioritize authenticity and craftsmanship over trending color manipulations. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize clear, accurate descriptions and ethical sourcing, and this sapphire exemplifies our approach, it is a piece that will complement minimalist modern settings as well as more intricate designs, and it offers a distinctive, architectural sparkle that stands out from conventional offerings while delivering enduring value.
