Description

Eldorado Bar deposit (Eldorado Strip Mine)
Eldorado Bar, East Helena, Lewis and Clark Co.

This beautiful Sapphire originated in Montana. The nearly 3.5 carat precious stone features an octagonal shape with a modified mixed cut. Sapphires from this region feature an interesting color combination, and this particular stone exhibits a grayish-green blue hue. This gemstone is accompanied by AGL certificate #1107673, which states there is no evidence of heating and an origin locality of Montana. The stone has been expertly cut and reflects light brilliantly. There are some visible inclusions but which add to the overall appeal of the stone. To grasp the true beauty of this example's color, it really must be viewed in person. There are a few nicks, but, otherwise, this stone is in excellent condition.
Measurements: 8.90 x 7.93 x 5.41 mm, 3.47 cts.

Provenance: The Jena Blue Collection

Accompanied by AGL Certificate #1107673
