A light-toned orangy yellow sapphire with very slightly brownish saturation that gives it an almost pinkish cast in strong lighting—an unusual and intriguing color for Montana material. The stone displays excellent brightness and scintillation, producing lively, crisp flashes as it moves. Under incandescent light, the color shifts more distinctly toward yellow, adding another layer of visual interest. Eye clean, with only a couple of fine silk strands visible even at 10× magnification, this is a distinctive and beautifully performing sapphire with rare color character.
