What makes Montana Sapphires so unique?
Montana sapphires are mined in an area called Rock Creek and it’s this location's geological qualities that give Montana sapphires their unique colours, clarity and brilliance.
George Frederick Kunz, the famous mineralogist once said “At no known locality... has there ever been found so great a variety of rich colors in corundum gems as here[Rock Creek].”
And he was absolutely correct. Most of the sapphires from this area have a beautiful teal colour which you don’t see anywhere else. But they’re not the only colour options, orange, pink and even colourless gems are extracted every day.
Another unique quality for Montana sapphires is their high level of clarity which only adds to their stunning colour. They also react much better to heat treatment than sapphires from other parts of the world which greatly improves their overall aesthetic.
