Description
This remarkable unheated Montana sapphire is a wonderful shade of steely blue-green. Like nearly all unheated Montana sapphires, the color will shift with the lighting: Under incandescent light it looks more silvery-blue, while under fluorescent the color appears a richer blue-green, similar to how it appears in daylight. While the macro image shows some internal inclusions, they are not easily visible in the hand without a loupe–face-up at normal viewing distance it’s an eye-clean gemstone.
I faceted this sapphire in a custom kite-shaped design that I created just for Montana sapphire. I’ve named the design “Capella” in honor of a star in the constellation Auriga. The design is very bright and creates a beautiful pattern of scintillation in the hand. This sapphire is large for a Montana sapphire: it weighs 3.10 carats and measures 9.2 x 7.6 x 6.1 mm. Only a handful of sapphires are found in Montana each year that are large enough and clean enough to facet a gem of this size–making it a true collector’s item.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
