A classic Montana Sapphire in a superb size and with a great presence. The color is a classic Montana mix of yellow-green with a slightly bluish modifier. There are no real eye distracting inclusions, however there is a bit of haze in the center. Also very indicative of the locale, it is not an unattractive effect as there is just a softening of the brillance - without sounding too poetic it has something of the effect of a distant rain shower. The quality of the cutting (and absolute precision US job) and overall size more than compenstate up for this - at nearly 3 1/2 carats, this is a huge Montana. Precision cut stones of this size are tougher and tougher by the year to locate and continue to appreciate in cost.
