What are Montana Sapphires?

Montana Sapphires are gemstones sourced from Montana, known for their unique color range, including blues, greens, teals, and yellows. These sapphires are valued for their natural beauty and distinctive colors, as well as their ethical and sustainable mining practices. They are highly durable, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making them ideal for long-lasting jewelry.

At Sarah O., we believe Montana Sapphires are as unique as the breathtaking landscapes they come from. These gemstones are celebrated for their distinctive blue-green hues, making them perfect for those who desire something beyond the traditional. Each sapphire tells a story of American heritage and natural beauty, shaped over millions of years and mined from the heart of Montana.

Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing at Rock Creek

Our sapphires are sourced from Rock Creek Mine in Phillipsburg, Montana, which is the largest sapphire mine in the world and known for its commitment to sustainability. Sarah and Hannah recently visited this site, witnessing firsthand how the mine carefully preserves Montana’s natural beauty. After mining, they replace the soil and replant native vegetation, ensuring the land returns to its original state, as pristine as the gems it yields.
