Sapphires are found mostly in the Western part of the Big Sky State, and are the official gemstone of the state of Montana. Once thrown away by gold miners in the gold rush days, loose sapphires are now America's most valuable gemstone. Sapphires are considered to be the stone of wisdom and thought to bring serenity, peace of mind and concentration. They are believed to protect a holder from evil, sickness, and worse.

Made of the mineral corundum, sapphires are a 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale. This makes them extremely durable and long-lasting. It also ensures loose Montana sapphires are incredibly scratch resistant.

First discovered by miners in the 1860s, the pretty, colorful pebbles were largely ignored. That is, until the 1890s when London gem merchants began to take an interest in them. Sapphires, and blue sapphires specifically, quickly rose in popularity from there.
