Sapphire is the birthstone for September. Our
Sapphire is only the finest from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) . Blue Sapphire
is corundum, too, and, its physical and chemical properties are
virtually identical to those of ruby. In a natural state the gem
crystallizes in the hexagonal system with two pyramidal faces. The
blue color of sapphire is due to small amounts of titanium oxides
and iron. The finest colour is found in the Kashmir specimens.
Ceylon sapphires are generally of a vivid blue, sometimes only
partially colored. Those found in the United States (Montana)
have a bright metallic sheen, while Australian sapphires are of a
deep blue-green, almost black even. These are the least valuable
but most widespread, being mined in great quantity. The colored
sapphires popular today come mainly from the mines in Thailand,
Ceylon and Australia. Multi-colored specimens are also known to
exist. We carry Blue Sapphires Ceylon Untreated Padparadscha, Star
Sapphires, and Fancy Colors, like Natural Yellow, Pink, Golden,
Orange, Purple, and White Sapphires.
