Here is a beautiful, 100% Natural Montana Missouri River Sapphire, from the Eldorado Bar.
This is one of the rarest natural colors there are from Montana.
This beautiful sapphire can look purple with hints of green or dark burgundy colored indoors depending on the lighting.
Outdoors the sapphire can look pinkish purple, lavender with pink flashes, or even a mix of green and purple.
The natural color comes from a mix of green and purple in this sapphire. Sometimes if you tilt the stone just right, you can see the zone of green.
The color dispersion on this gem is amazing in the sunlight, once you can see past its brilliance, which is truly blinding.
The gem is very eye clean, there is however a veil located near the girdle,
and a slight amount of rutile silk, both of which needs magnification to be seen.
Overall a very beautiful and rare color sapphire from Montana.
The brilliance of these Montana Missouri River sapphire is unmatched by any sapphire found anywhere in the world.
