0.49 ct Blue Sapphire-Montana - Round

At 0.49 carats, this sapphire from Montana carries its blue color through a round cut, measuring 4.6 x 3.2 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. The Montana deposits along the Missouri River and Rock Creek give American sapphire its steely blue and teal signature. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
