Editorial Review:
To the surprise of many, the United States has emerged as a commercial source of what some gem experts consider the world's finest sapphire. Equally surprising is that the entire production of the gem comes from a little-known Montana mine named Yogo, which 60 years earlier had produced $25 million in fine-cut sapphires for the British. Yogo is a historical treasure, but the story of Yogo sapphires is really just a beginning, for only now are South American diamonds, Colombian emeralds, and Burmese rubies being belatedly joined by a native American precious gemstone that is every bit their equal the Montana sapphire. The colorful story of the Montana mine that produces the prized Yogo sapphires has been updated in this revised edition. Included is the demise of Intergem and the humble beginning of Vortex, Inc.

Great history book  2005-07-19
This book is not a gemological type book. It is more of a history book with a lot of interesting Montana history. It is definately worth the read. Yogo Sapphires are beautiful gemstones. That's why we use them in our jewelry at forgetmenotjewelry.com.
Engrossing  1998-12-25
This is a well-written, and fairly well-illustrated, account of a very obscure, but fascinating chapter in mining history---specifically the Yoga sapphires of Montana, which are arguably the finest blue sapphires in the world
Americana-rich story of Montana's Yogo Gulch sapphire mine. 1997-01-18
If you own a sapphire from Yogo Gulch, you own a piece of history, so you might as well know the whole story behind your stone and the mine it came from. Steve Voynick, a bona-fide hard-rock miner and talented writer, tells the whole Yogo story from Pig Eye Basin and J.P. Morgan to the present prospects for this century-old gemstone claim. Detail-rich photographs help you get a better picture of the people and the times. Western mining Americana at its finest
