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 that sapphire is composed of — is actually colorless in its purest form, but trace elements of iron and titanium produce the rich blue color sapphire is celebrated for. These genuine blue sapphire cabochons display an opaque, medium to medium-dark blue color with some minor eye-visible inclusions and have been heat-treated to enhance their appearance. Sapphire is the birthstone for September, making these stones an excellent choice for birthstone jewelry projects.
Clean with warm, soapy water. Use of an ultrasonic or steam cleaner is usually safe.
