Exquisite Yogo Sapphire Pendant
Hand Fabricated Rare Yogo Sapphire Pendant
Deep in the heart of Montana, in C. M. Russell’s favorite stomping grounds, hidden in a little gulch, is the mine for one of the rarest gems on the planet: the Yogo Sapphire. This sapphire is named after the creek it was found in, Yogo Creek, and is the only Montana sapphire that does not require heat treating to improve its color. This gorgeous Yogo Sapphire pendant was hand fabricated as a token of deep affection and devotion from a husband and to his wife.
The hand fabricated platinum frame delicately, but firmly, holds this rare Yogo Sapphire so the wearer can wear this gorgeous pendant on a daily basis or for any formal occasion.

Some Just Need to Be Shown Off
Local miners in the latter half of the nineteenth century ignored the blue pebbles clogging their sluice boxes. It wasn’t until 1894 that anyone realized these incomparable stones were worth more than gold!
The Yogo Mine was first opened in 1895 and has been run sporadically since then because of the difficulty of the mining, poor management, and the nature of the Wild West.
