    Ethical Gemstones
    Sapphires from Montana are not your traditional mined gemstones. They are collected from a river with little impact to the environment.
    The reason the
    environmental impact
    is so low is due to natural weathering processes. Unlike traditional mines where you must dig to reach sapphire deposits, Montana relies on alluvial deposit.
    Sapphires have an advantage that diamonds do not have and are in general more traceable than diamonds. Diamonds are difficult to trace back to their origin and are almost impossible to know where that diamond came from. Its estimated that up to 5% of diamonds in the supply chain
    fund wars and conflicts
    ; AKA “blood diamonds.”
