Montana sapphires are mined from alluvial deposits along the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers, as well as from the Rock Creek and Dry Cottonwood Creek areas in western Montana.
Montana sapphire rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the most durable gemstones available and suitable for everyday wear in pendants and rings.
Trace amounts of iron within the corundum crystal structure produce the golden yellow color. The specific concentration and oxidation state of iron determines the intensity of the hue.
