1.38 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Montana

One beautiful transparent 1.38 carat oval shape bi color sapphire from Montana, measuring 6.81 x 5.92 x 4.11 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut, clarity graded as very very slightly included at eye level, medium intense color intensity, and an excellent polish, makes a compelling statement for collectors and designers alike. This gem displays two distinct but harmonious hues that shift with movement and light, a hallmark of Montana sapphires that often deliver subtle complexity rather than uniform saturation. Heat treated to enhance stability and color, this stone remains remarkably transparent and lively, and the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize both sparkle and the visibility of the bi color zoning. At 1.38 carats the proportions are elegant, the oval outline lends itself to classic and contemporary settings, and the excellent polish ensures clean reflections that accentuate the gem’s bi color personality. At The Natural Sapphire Company we value gemstones that pair visual character with real world wearability, and this Montana bi color sapphire does exactly that, offering a rare visual conversation between greenish gray and warm golden tones that few single hue sapphires can match.

Compare its hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations, and the differences are immediately informative to anyone choosing a sapphire. Kashmir sapphires are renowned for a deep, velvety cornflower blue, a saturation that reads as pure and lush in even soft light, whereas this Montana bi color sapphire presents more nuanced, medium intense tones that shift from greenish gray to warm amber, offering a dynamic two tone experience instead of a single saturated field of color. Sri Lanka or Ceylon sapphires often show bright, lively blues or pastel tones with a high degree of lightness, and they favor clarity and brilliance in a way that highlights single hue purity. In contrast our Montana stone revels in its internal zoning and reflective depth, catching the eye with changing tones rather than a constant single hue. Burmese or Myanmar sapphires can deliver strong, saturated blues or royal tones that command presence, and Madagascan sapphires are known for vivid, modern colors across the spectrum, from intense blues to padparadscha pink orange. This Montana bi color sapphire sits apart from those famed origins by offering an earthy, natural interplay of two colors that reads as sophisticated and unique when set, rather than purely traditional or purely trendy.

Compare its hue and tone to gemstones from other famous locations again, and it becomes clear why collectors seek Montana material for character and individuality. Australian and Thai sapphires can trend toward darker, inky tones or deep greenish blues, which look dramatic but sometimes lack the translucency and multi faceted color play that a mixed brilliant cut can reveal. Montana sapphires, especially bi color examples like this one, often show a fresher palette, with crystalline clarity and shifting tones that respond to light and angle. This particular specimen’s medium intense color allows it to read well in both daylight and artificial light, avoiding the overly dark appearance that can obscure detail in stones from some other mines. The very very slightly included clarity at eye level means you get an eye clean appearance with natural inclusions that confirm origin and authenticity, whereas stones from famous exotic sources may carry strong premiums for saturation alone, sometimes at the cost of clarity or durability. With excellent polish and a cut designed to enhance scintillation and color separation, this Montana bi color sapphire offers the visual interest of a high end collector stone while remaining a practical choice for everyday jewelry.

For buyers comparing quality, value, and uniqueness, this 1.38 carat Montana bi color sapphire represents a superior combination of qualities that are rare to find together. Its mixed brilliant cut enhances both flash and color shift, the oval shape translates beautifully into rings and pendants, and the medium intense, bi color palette provides a level of individuality that single origin, single hue sapphires cannot replicate without commanding much higher prices. At The Natural Sapphire Company we pride ourselves on sourcing gemstones where character meets craftsmanship, and this sapphire exemplifies that approach by offering distinctive bi color charm, solid clarity, and a finish that is ready for elegant mounting. Heat treatment is a widely accepted enhancement in the trade that improves appearance and stability, and because this stone is evaluated carefully for eye level clarity and cut, you are purchasing a gem that delivers both aesthetic appeal and lasting value. If you prefer a sapphire that offers conversation, adaptability in design, and a natural signature that sets it apart from classic Kashmir, Ceylon, Burmese, or Madagascan examples, this Montana bi color sapphire is an exceptional choice, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is available to advise on settings, certification, and customization to ensure this gem becomes the centerpiece you envision.
