Sapphires
One Birthstone, All the Colours
The word ‘Sapphire’ is derived from the Greek word, sappheiros which means ‘blue stone’. This precious gemstone is known for their true blue, but can come in a dazzling rainbow of colours as well!
While the term Sapphire does generally refers to the blue gemstone, look for beautiful pink sapphires, purple sapphires, orange sapphires and more! The only shade you won’t find a sapphire in is red! That’s because Sapphires are made of the mineral corundum. Red corundum gemstones are classified as rubies!
These gemstones are extremely durable and long lasting, coming in at a 9/10 on the Mohs hardness scale.
