"Don't be fooled by low price imitations or poorly cut stones"

Montana Missouri River Sapphire are considered by many to be some of the finest sapphire in the world. Untreated, 100% natural sapphire from this region of Montana are usually lighter in color than what most people think of when they do think of sapphire. But those beautiful lighter colors allow for brilliance in these sapphire that is unmatched and blinding in the sunlight. These sapphire are also often color changers in different lighting. Would you rather have a sapphire that is just a piece of color, or a sapphire that can draw attention from across the room from just it's sparkle? In my opinion, there are no finer sapphire found in the world. 

99% of the Montana Missouri River Sapphire I sell, are cut from rough crystals that I have personally recovered, the remainder are purchased directly from the mines owner. 

I also offer a "Lifetime Guarantee" on any gem I sell! If at anytime, you find a gemstone purchased from me not to be the gem it was stated to be, all you need is a copy of my company receipt to receive a full refund anytime in the future.  

Natural should always mean "no treatment of any kind". All of the faceted Montana Sapphire I sell are 100% Natural, No Heat, No Treatment, just created by nature.

Although heat treating is an industry standard for deepening color and enhancing clarity, don't let anyone tell you that it is "normal". Beware of claims of "certified" sapphire, as anyone with a computer can pump out a certificate. Many Montana Sapphire being sold here on EBay are treated and the treatments are not being disclosed. 

Just remember that you get what you pay for, a quality all natural Montana Missouri River sapphire is not going to be inexpensive, so be very cautious when looking at sapphire being offered for sale far below market prices also that have few, or blurry photos. 

***BEWARE OF THE LARGE STONES BEING SOLD FROM INDIA, THESE ARE NOT REAL SAPPHIRE!***
