Sapphires are the most sought-after gemstones, what should you know about them?

 

First of all, get to know what the gemstone sapphire is and why it has been so highly valued since ancient times. Sapphire is a mineral that is usually blue in color, but it can also be in other colors, such as yellow, pink, green... The dark, especially bright blue gem was the most loved by royal families, symbolized power, success and, it is said, attracted wealth. Sapphire belongs to the group of corundum minerals, which also includes ruby. Sapphire is one of the hardest natural minerals on Earth, reaching a hardness of 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale. Due to the rarity and cost of natural sapphires, there are also synthetic (laboratory) gems on the market, whose color can be extracted using heat. A jeweler will always answer more questions, so don't be afraid to ask them.
