0.81 Ct. Green Sapphire from Montana

When you are searching for a sapphire that balances presence with practicality, the size and weight of the stone are among the first things that will define whether it meets your needs. This transparent GIA certified bluish green cushion shape sapphire, weighing 0.81 carat, is an ideal answer for someone who wants a meaningful center stone without stepping into the higher price brackets that come with larger sizes. At 6.32 by 5.07 by 3.01 millimeters the gem presents a generous face up for its weight, offering solid visual impact on the finger or in a pendant while remaining light and comfortable for everyday wear. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return and scintillation, and with an excellent polish the surface reflects light in a way that accentuates the sapphire s intense bluish green hue. For a bride seeking a distinctive engagement ring that will be worn every day, or for a collector wanting a high quality example of Montana origin, this 0.81 carat cushion sapphire fits the brief precisely, delivering balance, beauty, and authenticity all in one stone.

Weight is more than a number, it is a principal driver of rarity and value in colored gemstones, and this particular 0.81 carat weight occupies a sweet spot that savvy buyers appreciate. Sapphires show steep incremental increases in price per carat as they pass common thresholds, so stones approaching but not exceeding one carat often represent exceptional value, offering the visual presence of a larger gem while avoiding the premium pricing associated with whole carat sizes. In addition to economic advantage, the 0.81 carat weight combined with the stone s intense color intensity makes this gem rarer than many larger, paler examples. The very slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, indicates that the sapphire is clean to the naked eye, allowing its color and cut to dominate the viewing experience rather than internal features. Collectors recognize that a gem with this combination of near one carat weight, strong saturation, and clean eye presence from a reputable source is unusually hard to source, especially when the provenance is Montana, a locality prized for unique, earthy, and softly nuanced greens and blues that differ from the classic tropical tones of other origins.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that knowing the full story behind a gem is essential to making a confident purchase, so this sapphire arrives with GIA certification confirming its identity, measurements, and the fact that the stone has been heat treated, a standard and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant faceting strategy were chosen to emphasize both depth of color and lively brilliance, making the gem attractive in a solitaire mount or as the centerpiece of a halo or three stone design where surrounding diamonds or accent sapphires can enhance its bluish green character. The excellent polish ensures smooth facet junctions and crisp reflections, which in combination with the stone s dimensions gives the gem a presence that reads larger than its weight might suggest. If your need is an engagement ring that feels special every day, a unique heirloom piece that stands out for a refined collector s cabinet, or a gemstone purchase that balances aesthetic impact with long term value, this 0.81 carat Montana cushion sapphire is crafted to close that search.
