3.69 Ct. Green Sapphire from Montana

This GIA certified, transparent green sapphire weighs 3.69 carats, and measures 8.73 x 7.11 x 6.25 millimeters. The stone is fashioned in a radiant shape with a mixed brilliant cut, offering a structured interplay of step and brilliant faceting that enhances both depth and brilliance. Color is intense, with a Montana origin and no enhancement, and clarity is graded slightly included as evaluated at eye level. An excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and minimal surface diffusion of light, conditions that are essential to maximize return and contrast in a dense, richly colored sapphire.

The mixed brilliant cutting style in this radiant form optimizes light performance by combining the broad, reflective planes of step facets with the dispersed, scintillating planes of brilliant facets, producing balanced return and lively scintillation. The crown pavilion relationship has been calibrated to retain the sapphires intense green hue while allowing internal light to refract and reflect across multiple facets, creating flashes of brightness without overwhelming the body color. Truncated corners and proportional facet angles reduce light leakage along the girdle, improving perceived size and resistance to wear, while the well executed pavilion facets direct light back through the crown for a pronounced face up presence. Slight inclusions are positioned and considered in the cutting process to preserve weight and color, and they have minimal effect on the overall light performance when viewed face up. The Natural Sapphire Company confirms that this stone, with its precise cutting, excellent polish, and GIA certification, exemplifies how thoughtful facet architecture can enhance a sapphires natural optical properties, producing a gemstone that delivers depth of color, controlled brilliance, and refined scintillation.
