Discovered in the late 19th century, Yogo sapphires are found exclusively in a single, narrow deposit in Montana, making them one of the most geographically limited sapphire sources in the world. Unlike most sapphires, Yogo stones are celebrated for their natural color, which typically requires no enhancement, and for their remarkable consistency of hue and clarity. Because the Yogo Gulch mines were only found at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries, large, jewelry-quality examples are especially scarce.
