Sapphire, a precious gemstone from the corundum family, is best known for its mesmerizing blue hues. However, this remarkable stone also appears in shades of yellow, pink, and green, each possessing a unique charm. With their rich, vibrant colors and exceptional durability, sapphires are among the most coveted gemstones in the world.
Sri Lanka remains the most significant source of sapphires, where some of the world’s brightest natural gemstones have formed deep within the earth over millions of years. Other major sapphire deposits are found in Madagascar, East Africa, and Myanmar. The legendary Kashmir sapphires, known for their velvety blue glow, are now nearly impossible to find, making them highly prized at auction houses.
Beyond blue, sapphires exist in a spectrum of stunning colors. Yellow sapphires exude warmth and radiance, making them a timeless choice for jewelry. Pink sapphires range from delicate pastel tones to intense fuchsia, offering a romantic and modern appeal. Green sapphires are admired for their subtle bluish undertones, lending them a sophisticated and refined beauty.
Most sapphires undergo traditional heating to enhance their clarity and bring out their natural brilliance. This treatment is widely accepted in the gemstone industry and does not diminish a sapphire’s value—rather, it enhances the color and transparency that nature intended.
