0.56 ct Blue Sapphire-Montana - Round

At 0.56 carats, this sapphire from Montana carries its blue color through a round cut, measuring 4.7 x 4.3 mm.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. 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.
