Montana Sapphire FAQ: Your Color Questions, Answered
What colors do Montana sapphires come in?
Just about every shade under the sun. You’ll find teal, green, blue, pink, yellow, peach, purple, white, colorless, and even multicolored (aka parti) sapphires. Montana is famous for its earth-toned, non-traditional hues — no two are ever alike.
What color Montana sapphire is most expensive?
It depends on rarity, quality, and demand. Yogo sapphires (known for their natural cornflower blue) are often among the most valuable. But certain unheated colors — like vibrant pinks, intense teals, or rare parti stones — can also fetch a premium.
How can you tell if a Montana sapphire is real?
Real Montana sapphires typically have natural inclusions and color zoning that synthetic stones lack. The best way to be sure? Buy from a trusted source (hi, that’s us 💁♀️) and look for origin info and gemological reports when available.
What’s the best cut for a Montana sapphire?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — because Montana sapphires are so unique, the best cut is the one that brings out that particular stone’s natural magic. From classic ovals and emerald cuts to unexpected custom shapes, it’s all about maximizing light play, color zoning, and personality.
Are Montana sapphires always unheated?
Nope, but many are! One of the coolest things about Montana sapphires is that their natural color is often stunning enough without enhancements. That said, some are gently heated to enhance their hue or boost clarity. We always tell you whether a stone is heated or unheated, so you can choose what feels right for you.
