2.44 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Montana

This 2.44 carat cushion shaped bluish green sapphire is a rare and refined example of natural color and cut, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. At 7.98 by 6.32 by 4.91 millimeters this gem has a pleasing presence for a single stone ring, pendant, or bespoke piece, while remaining comfortable and wearable for everyday elegance. The mixed brilliant cut combines the fire and scintillation of a brilliant facet arrangement with the soft profile of a cushion outline, producing lively light return and a flattering face up appearance. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to most viewers while retaining natural inclusions that confirm its authenticity and provenance. Color is vivid in intensity, leaning toward a balanced bluish green that shows depth without becoming overly dark, and the polish is excellent, providing a smooth, reflective surface. Importantly, this sapphire is offered without enhancement, a distinction that preserves its natural origin and original crystal chemistry.

Compared to typical market offerings this Montana sapphire stands out for a combination of genuine color, unaltered clarity, and a thoughtful cut. Many sapphires on the market are heat treated to improve color and clarity, which can be appropriate and stable when disclosed, however unheated sapphires like this one are far less common and attract collectors and connoisseurs seeking natural character. Where standard commercial stones may favor uniformity and size over personality, this gem balances a vivid hue with unique internal features that catch the light differently from each angle, giving it visual interest and one of a kind charm. The cushion shape is more forgiving to slight inclusions than extremely shallow or overly deep cuts, and the mixed brilliant facet pattern maximizes sparkle while preserving weight, which means you get more carat value in a wearable silhouette. For buyers who compare clarity, color, and cut across options, this sapphire offers a superior blend of natural authenticity and polished appeal, making it an excellent long term choice whether you are selecting an engagement center, a signature piece for a jewelry collection, or a secure addition for investment in colored gemstones.

The origin of this sapphire, Montana, adds a significant dimension of value and desirability that sets it apart from many alternatives sourced elsewhere. Montana sapphires are known for their distinctive color range, often showing clear blue, greenish blue, and teal notes with a natural, earthy tone that collectors prize for its subtlety and complexity. Stones from Montana are also frequently unheated, with a mining and cutting history that emphasizes artisanal handling and responsible sourcing. Owning a Montana sapphire therefore carries provenance, which enhances both emotional and market value, especially in a landscape where origin matters more and more to informed buyers. Beyond aesthetics, Montana origin conveys a story of wilderness terrain and skilled lapidary craft that appeals to buyers who want more than a pretty stone, they want a connection to place and process. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate pieces with attention to origin, treatment, and long term value, and this unenhanced 2.44 carat cushion sapphire exemplifies that philosophy. It rewards comparison with other gems on the market, offering a blend of rarity, responsible sourcing, and enduring beauty that makes it a compelling choice for those who seek a sapphire with character, provenance, and lasting appeal.
