What is "sapphire"?
Sapphire is a precious gemstone that belongs to the corundum mineral family, which also includes the ruby. It is one of the most popular colored gemstones used in jewelry, prized for its rich blue hue, but can also be found in other colors like pink, yellow, green, and white. Sapphires are typically found in mines in countries like Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar, but can also be found in Montana in the United States. Due to its durability and brilliance, sapphire is a popular choice for engagement rings and other high-end jewelry pieces. Additionally, it is often associated with wisdom, truth, and loyalty, and is the birthstone for September.
