1.68 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

Long before this gem reached your hand, it began its life deep beneath Montana soil where heat and pressure coax corundum into crystalline form. Over geological time the sapphire was liberated from its host rock, carried by mountain streams, and concentrated in gravel beds that have drawn the attention of careful miners for generations. In that natural journey the stone gathered a story in its color and internal features, a quiet record of the earths processes that can be read by those who love genuine gems. At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace that story, selecting stones that speak of place, time, and the skill of both nature and the cutter, so that each piece we offer is not only beautiful but rooted in a distinct origin.

This particular gem is a transparent 1.68 carat oval shape bluish green sapphire, cut to 8.04 by 6.19 by 4.12 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth of color. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are subtle and do not detract from the gems appeal, yet they confirm that this is a natural, unenhanced stone. The medium color intensity presents as a soft, verdant blue with green undertones that shift gently as light moves across the facets, and the excellent polish allows each facet to return light with crisp, lively flashes. No enhancement was applied, a quality that collectors and families alike prize for its honesty. Photographs included for reference show the gem face up and on a hand to illustrate scale and presence, and when set in a thoughtful design the mixed brilliant cut will dance with brightness while the unique bluish green hue will remain unmistakably its own.

Imagine this sapphire as the center of a ring that begins a family tradition, a jewel that is worn for birthdays, anniversaries, and quiet moments, and that then makes the leap from one generation to the next bearing names and memories with it. Corundum is famously durable with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, which means this sapphire will endure the rhythms of daily life while accruing the gentle patina of love and use. Because it is unenhanced and sourced from Montana, the gem carries provenance that deepens its story and increases its meaning as an heirloom. At The Natural Sapphire Company we do more than sell stones, we help design keepers of memory, offering bespoke settings and guidance so that the gem you choose today will be cherished for decades and become part of your family history. If you are imagining how this bluish green oval could tell your story over time, our team will work with you to create a setting that respects the stones character, secures its beauty, and ensures it is ready to be passed on as a living piece of your legacy.
