1.49 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Montana

This transparent round greenish blue sapphire weighs 1.49 carats and measures 6.79 by 6.62 by 4.28 millimeters, presenting a depth of approximately sixty four percent, which sits comfortably within the desirable proportion range for a round mixed brilliant. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant configuration, meaning a brilliant facet scheme on the crown combined with a faceted pavilion designed to preserve weight while maximizing face up brilliance and scintillation. The crown exhibits crisp facet junctions and an excellent polish that enhances contrast and sharpness of reflections, and the overall light performance is lively for a stone with medium color intensity. Clarity at eye level is described as very very slightly included, so inclusions are minimal and do not materially interrupt light transmission or appreciably affect durability. Enhancement status is none, the gem is natural and untreated, and this provenance is Montana, which contributes to the stone s distinctive greenish blue hue and cool tone.

When compared to sapphires from other famous locales, this Montana specimen reads distinctly. Versus classic Ceylon material from Sri Lanka, which often shows a lighter, more violet tinged blue with higher apparent brilliance, this sapphire carries a cooler, greener bias and a steadier medium tone that emphasizes depth rather than overt brightness. Against Kashmir material, known for its velvety cornflower blue and plush medium to medium dark tone, the Montana gem is cleaner and more transparent, with less velvet and more defined facet reflections, and the green component is noticeably greater than in most Kashmir examples. Compared to Australian sapphires, which tend to be darker and inky with strong green overtones and heavier tone, this stone is lighter in tone and more lively, offering easier day to day wearability and more visible internal play. Madagascar stones can emulate both Ceylon and Sri Lankan profiles with saturated blues, whereas this Montana sapphire occupies a steadier mid intensity, teal influenced position that is immediately recognizable. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as an example of Montana s unique color spectrum, with precision cutting, superior polish, and natural clarity that will appeal to connoisseurs who value provenance, optical performance, and an unenhanced natural color palette.
