SAPPHIRE & YOGO SAPPHIRE
The United States Geological Survey and many famous gemstone experts have stated that Yogo sapphires are "among the world's finest sapphires." When found, they tend to be small. This means finished gems over two carats are incredibly rare. As a matter of fact, only about 10% of finished gems are over one carat. Yogo Sapphires are the only sapphires in Montana still being mined from the original deposit. The most desirable material is from Yogo Gulch. Tiffany & Co. once declared the stones “the finest precious gemstones ever found in the United States” due to their exceptional clarity and colour. Sapphire is one of the “big three” of jewelry colored gemstones—the other two being ruby and emerald. Sapphires captivate their audience with their durability, rarity and aura of romance. For centuries, sapphire has been associated with royalty. Traditionally, they symbolize nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness. Large blue sapphires are very rare, and market price reflects that. Sapphire is the birthstone for September, the gemstone for Taurus and Aquarius, and the gem of the 5th and 45th anniversaries. It has a hardness of 9.0, making it very durable for everyday wear with proper care. More about Sapphire HERE
SPINEL
Spinel is a very underrated member of the gemstone family. It first appeared in historical records of fourteenth-century Spain, and has since been confused with many gems, including Ruby. As a matter of fact, the famous 14th century Black Prince’s Ruby in the British Imperial Crown is actually a red spinel, not a Ruby. Spinel crystals form so perfectly, that in Burma they are said to be “nat thwe” or “polished by the spirits.” Some of the most sought-after spinel was found in 2007 in Mahenge, Tanzania, and has an incredible hot pink glow. Spinel is a colorful, natural gem that has recently been inducted as the August birthstone, along with its predecessor, peridot. It is also the gem for the 22nd anniversary, and is believed to encourage great passion, devotion and longevity. Spinels have a hardness of 8.0, making them very durable for everyday wear with proper care. More about Spinel HERE
