Discovered in 1896 while prospecting for gold, Jake Hoover sent a small parcel of “blue pebbles” to Tiffany and Company in New York. Although other gemstones had previously been found in Montana, these seemed uniquely different. Shortly there after, Tiffany’s returned a check for $3750 and a note stating Jake had found “sapphires of unusual quality” due to their clarity and color.
The rare Montana Yogo Sapphires are not treated making their all natural beauty one of a kind. Where as, 90% of the worlds sapphires have been treated to enhance their color and clarity. The Montana Yogo Sapphires have become a difficult gemstone to find unlike its cousin the Montana Sapphire.
