Its cool purple color shifts gently with the light, sometimes leaning violet, sometimes almost misty blue. Faint internal characteristics add to the effect, giving the stone a bit of atmosphere without competing with its delicate color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatural, unheated Montana sapphires are loved for exactly this kind of unexpected beauty. Rather than the bold blues and greens Montana sapphires are often known for, this purple sapphire takes a quieter path, with a dreamy color and just enough mystery to keep you looking. This El Dorado Bar sapphire would make a beautiful centerpiece for a custom engagement ring or a one-of-a-kind piece with a little bit of Montana magic tucked inside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCold Hard Facts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eweight: 2.99 carats\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003ecolor: purple\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eshape: octagonal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003edimensions: 8.17 x 6.69 x 5.68mm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eunique attribute: unheated\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003evideo available upon request\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gia.edu\/report-check?locale=en_US\u0026amp;reportno=2235159110\" title=\"GIA report: 2235159110\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGIA Sapphire Origin \u0026amp; Traceability Report No: 2235159110\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterested in a custom design?
