These oval lab-created blue sapphire cabochons are composed of man-made corundum sharing the same chemical composition and durability as natural sapphire. Each stone exhibits excellent clarity with vivid, even coloration ranging from medium-dark to dark blue. Sapphire is one of the most popular colored stones in the United States, prized for its extraordinary durability and suitability for everyday wear.
Pure corundum — the mineral sapphire is composed of — is actually colorless in its purest form. Trace elements of iron and titanium are responsible for sapphire's characteristic blue hue, while other trace elements produce the wide spectrum of colors found across the corundum family. Sapphire is the traditional birthstone for September.
