RIDDLE'S FAVORITES
An American Gem Story
The frenzy of the gold rush in the late 1800s brought fortune-seekers to Montana dreaming of wealth and adventure. While little gold was found, miners noticed small blue pebbles in their sluice boxes. A miner named Jake Hoover collected a cigar box full and sent them to Tiffany & Co. in New York in hopes of finding their worth. Tiffany鈥檚 foremost gemologist, George F. Kunz, identified them as sapphires and declared the stones 鈥渢he finest precious gemstones ever found in the United States.鈥� Thus began the story of these alluring blue beauties that evoke the passion and grandeur of the Great American West.
