Yogo sapphires come from Yogo Gulch, located in the Little Belt Mountains in Montana. They are considered to be among the finest and most beautiful sapphires in the world. Yogo Sapphires are typically a bright “Cornflower Blue”, however approximately 2% of stones mined are a gorgeous purple color. Yogo sapphires are quite unique in that they are relatively free of inclusions, have great clarity, and unlike most colored stones, do not need heat treatment because their color is uniform and deep.
The Yogo deposit has produced an abundance of small gemstones, so finished cut stones weighing over one carat are considered rare. Sometimes, large stones are found and can be cut and finished to over two or three carats; these Yogo Sapphires are extremely rare making them one of nature’s most valuable treasures!
