0.88 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

There is a quiet sea captured in a single stone, a bluish green heart that breathes with the light of high mountain skies, and in that hush this 0.88 carat round sapphire appears like a secret kept for lovers, an echo of rivers and pines from its birthplace in Montana. The gem measures 5.67 x 5.71 x 3.79 mm, a perfectly intimate size that sits between the fingers as if it were always meant to be worn, a companion more precious than any spoken vow. Its mixed brilliant cut scatters sunlight into a soft constellation, every facet a window, every flash a memory. The polish is excellent, a glassy finish that allows the center of the stone to pulse with color, and the medium color intensity is balanced and refined, not shouting but whispering, drawing you closer to examine the depth within. Heat treated to bring clarity and harmony to its hue, this transparent sapphire bears the gentle hand of nature and the careful touch of artisans, a union of earth and craftsmanship that The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to present to you.

When you hold the gem to the light, the interior gardens are revealed, delicate inclusions that register as very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, evidence of the stone s natural journey rather than blemishes that mar its soul. These tiny inclusions sit like whispers inside the crystal, adding character and testimony to its authenticity, while preserving the clarity that allows its inner fire to speak. The mixed brilliant cut excels at translating that inner fire into passion on the surface, each facet choreographed to return light to the viewer as scintillating fire and brilliant sparkle. Because the gem is transparent and precisely faceted, it breathes with life when set, offering a range of tones from pale aqua to deeper teal depending on the light and the angle, a living color that changes like memory. The polish ensures smooth, reflective planes, and the overall effect is one of refined elegance that feels timeless, an heirloom in the making, waiting to be chosen by someone who understands that true beauty is both seen and felt.

Durability matters for any jewel that will be worn daily as a promise, a witness to moments both small and monumental, and on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness sapphires rate at 9, making them second only to diamond, which registers at 10. To put that in perspective a sapphire at 9 is significantly harder and more resistant to scratching than common jewelry gemstones such as topaz at 8 or quartz at 7, and it offers a reassuring resilience against the everyday knocks and rubs of life. Hardness on the Mohs scale is a measure of scratch resistance, and this Montana sapphire s high rating means that with proper care and a thoughtful setting it will keep its polished facets sharp and its surface unmarred for generations. Heat treatment is a stable enhancement that improves hue and clarity without compromising the durability that the Mohs scale speaks to, it is an accepted and common practice that helps reveal the truest color of the stone crafted from the earth. For those seeking longevity, a sapphire of this caliber can be set in rings, pendants, or earrings with confidence, and The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on settings that protect the girdle and pavilion while allowing the stone s beauty to be admired, for instance snug bezels for daily wear or classic prongs for maximum light performance.

Imagine this gem cradled in a ring, catching the first light of a new day when promises are fresh, or resting against the throat as a pendant that brushes softly against skin, a private lighthouse for the heart. The 0.88 carat weight and the near perfect dimensions create a presence that is both delicate and unmistakable, a sapphire that declares intention without pretense. Originating from Montana, with its cool, serene palette and mountain born clarity, this stone carries with it a story of place, of glacial streams and mineral rich earth, a provenance that adds a layer of romance to every viewing. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate that story, and we present this heat treated, very very slightly included, mixed brilliant cut sapphire with the care and provenance that it deserves, ready to become a symbol of a life shared. Choose this gem and you choose a quiet grandeur, a durable companion rated 9 on the Mohs scale, a fragment of Montana s sky and river to hold close, a jewel that will gather moments rather than dust, and in time, become a tale told with the same warmth and tenderness that first led you to put it on.
