When someone mentions sapphires, most of us picture a stunning deep blue gemstone that sparkles like a star-filled night sky. The blue sapphire is indeed one of the most renowned gemstones in the world, but it is not the only version of this fascinating stone. Sapphires come in a wide range of color variations, from soft pastel shades to rich and intense hues. Join us as we explore the beauty of sapphires beyond traditional blue, and get inspired by our collection at Princess Jewellery.
2. Types of Sapphires and Their Variety
Sapphires, like their famous sibling rubies, belong to the corundum mineral family. What is less known is that sapphires can appear in all colors of the spectrum except red, which is reserved for rubies. While blue sapphires are undoubtedly iconic, color variations such as pink, yellow, green, or purple sapphires bring unprecedented originality and elegance to the world of jewelry.
3. The Origin and Formation of Sapphires
Sapphires are mined in various parts of the world, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Madagascar, and Thailand. Each location produces stones with unique characteristics, such as different shades and levels of clarity. Most sapphires form in igneous rocks, where high temperatures and pressure beneath the Earth’s surface allow them to crystallize. The presence of different trace elements like iron, titanium, or chromium causes sapphires to take on various colors.
4. The Process of Forming Colored Sapphires
Sapphires in colors other than blue are known as "fancy sapphires." For example, yellow sapphires owe their hue to the presence of iron, pink sapphires contain traces of chromium, and green sapphires arise from a combination of iron and titanium. Each of these elements influences the final shade of the gemstone, making every colored sapphire truly unique.
5. Appearance and Deposits of Colored Sapphires
The most significant deposits of colored sapphires are found in Sri Lanka, which is famous for its stunning pink and yellow sapphires. Madagascar is known for producing a diverse palette of sapphires, from pastel greens to deep purples. Thailand and Myanmar are home to darker and more intense shades. These gemstones often contain fascinating internal inclusions, adding depth and character, making them the perfect choice for jewelry.
6. Metaphysical Properties of Sapphires
Sapphires are not only beautiful but also highly symbolic gemstones. Blue sapphires are traditionally associated with wisdom, tranquility, and spiritual power, while pink sapphires symbolize love and tenderness. Yellow sapphires are linked with success and abundance, while green sapphires are said to bring luck and protection. Regardless of color, sapphires are believed to be protective stones that promote inner peace and harmony.
