Sapphire, a highly precious gemstone, has captivated people for millennia. It belongs to the corundum mineral family, the same family as ruby (the only difference is the presence of chromium, which gives rubies their red color). Sapphires come in a vast array of colors, from classic blue to yellow, green, pink, and even black. Their brilliance and hardness, second only to diamond, make them highly desirable for jewelry.

The sapphire gemstone in your hand has been formed millions of years ago, source rocks inside the earth’s crust were subjected to intense pressures and high temperatures.

Sapphire is generally known as a blue gemstone but surprisingly it comes in a wide range of colors and quality variations. In general, the more intense and uniform the color is, the more valuable the stone.

Sapphires that are not blue are known as fancy sapphires, and may be any color—except red (which is a ruby). The fancy sapphire colors are: pink, orange, yellow, green, purple, and violet. There truly is a different color of sapphire to suit anyone’s taste!

Star sapphires usually have stars have 6 rays, and 12-rayed stars are quite rare. Two different sets of inclusions—one of rutile and one of hematite—oriented in slightly different directions can cause a 12-rayed star.

Hematite inclusions cause asterism in black star sapphires. The sapphire’s color is actually yellow, green, or blue, but the inclusions make it appear dark brown or black.

Sri Lanka is the oldest source of sapphires in the world and the finest colors.
