1.42 Ct. Yellowish Orange Sapphire from Montana

This 1.42 carat, cushion shape, yellowish orange sapphire begins its story in the river gravels and mountain wash of Montana, where ancient geology and seasonal flows reveal rare crystalline treasures. Sourced for The Natural Sapphire Company from trusted Montana origins, this gem carries the subtle narrative of place, a medium intense color intensity that speaks of sunlight filtered through alpine skies. At 5.97 x 5.63 x 4.49 mm, the stone was carefully selected for its transparent quality and its potential to show warmth and fire once shaped. Our sourcing partners work with small scale miners and local stewards who understand the land, and we maintain direct relationships to ensure traceability, fair compensation, and a commitment to minimizing environmental impact. Slightly included by eye level standards, the sapphire retains an honest, natural character that many collectors cherish, and it has undergone a customary heat treatment to stabilize and enhance its color, a responsible enhancement that reveals the gem as nature intended, elevated by human care.

From raw find to finished jewel the cushion was entrusted to skilled cutters who realized its best optical performance with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, each facet placed to maximize brilliance and warmth. The result is a compact, lively gem that catches light in broad flashes and intimate scintillation, a piece that wears as comfortably in a modern bezel as it does in a classic prong setting. For the conscious consumer this Montana sapphire is a thoughtful choice, combining durable sapphire hardness with ethical provenance, transparent treatment disclosure, and craftsmanship that honors the stone’s origin. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as part of a considered collection, an heirloom born of place and people, ready to be set into a design that reflects your values and lasts a lifetime.
