About Sapphire

Sapphire is the name traditionally applied to gem-quality corundum in colors other than red, with blue being its best-known expression. Corundum is aluminum oxide (Al2O3), crystallizes in the trigonal system, and ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, making it one of the hardest naturally occurring minerals.
