The History of Yogo Sapphires
Discovered in the late 1800s in Montana’s Yogo Gulch, Yogo sapphires have earned a stellar reputation as some of the most naturally exquisite gemstones in the world. Unlike many sapphires that undergo heat treatments, Yogo sapphires naturally achieve their vibrant cornflower blue hue naturally – without human intervention. This natural beauty, combined with their exceptional clarity, sets them apart from other sapphires on the market today. Mined exclusively from the rugged terrain of central Montana, these gems are not only a symbol of American heritage, but also a testament to the unmatched elegance found in nature.
