A classic Montana Sapphire in a superb size and with a great presence. The gem does have some low relief inclusions, yet the quality of the cutting (and absolute precision US job) and overall size more than make up for this. As does the fine color, that kind of blue modified green that is distinctly Montana - one of the few localities capable of getting green Sapphire right. A very pleochroic stone, you can see how blue it appears when seen through the pavilion. Precision cut stones of this size are tougher and tougher by the year to locate and continue to appreciate in cost.
