Instead of a diamond...

Being from Montana, I’m especially fond of the gemstones that are mined here. Saw this one today and am considering nabbing it up.

Thoughts?
.86 carat colorless Montana Sapphire

I didn’t post it there because it’s not a colored stone.

While technically true, the ladies (and a few gents!) over there are very, very knowledgeable about sapphires and so this falls into that realm.

Gotcha! Can it be moved there, or do I need to repost it?

Just hit "Report Concern" and request the move.

Gosh that is just gorgeous. Even though it is colorless, is it still a light blue color?? It's sooo pretty!!

It does look like it has a hint of blue doesn’t it! It would look gorgeous with my yogo!

I love montana sapphires! I have a white sapphire ring, ceylon, and though it is precision cut -- it must be kept immaculately clean. Every day scrub thoroughly clean or it dies. By the end of the day it is very sad and not so sparkly If you wanted a montana, I'd get one with some body color to 'carry' the stone when dirty. Blue or green will be the most common.

{Blaze's photos are not the greatest, but his written descriptions are good and the cut is good.

I'm betting the blue is reflection of light in that one. The gloves even look a bit blue.

Well poo. Lol! I liked the idea of having a diamond like sparkle in a Montana stone. I think if I were to do any other colored stones I’d do more Yogo sapphires. They’re worth a ton, need no treatment, and are next to diamonds in hardness.

It’s a round brilliant cut (diamond cut) with a faceted girdle even, very nice cut and very clean stone.
