Sapphire from Rock Creek, Montana (Gem Mountain)

No. 429: Standard Brilliant Cut, 0.97 ct., 5.7 x 4.0 mm, VS, $97.00 Sold


Shown here is a light lavender sapphire with a slight yellow tint to it (The yellow is barely evident in the image). The rough gem crystal was predominantly lavender in color, but there was a tiny yellow area that was retained after faceting. At one viewing angle the stone appears lavender in color. At a different viewing angle the stone appears almost yellow. This stone is another example of the unusual color combinations that come from the Gem Mountain, Montana, gemfields. This heat-treated stone would make a beautiful ring or pendant.
