Sapphire Mineral
Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum, composed of aluminium oxide (α-Al2O3) and trace amounts of elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, vanadium, or magnesium. The name sapphire is derived from the Latin “saphirus” and the Greek “sappheiros”, both of which mean blue. While Sapphire is typically blue, red corundum stones also occur, but are called rubies not sapphires.

The highest prices are paid for gems that are pure blue and of vivid saturation.
