Color is the most important thing to look
for when buying a sapphire. Variety of colors are available in this stone
ranging from pink, yellow, peach, brown, purple, green, white, violet and
orange. But, the most widely used one is the blue sapphire which is available
in color tones ranging from light blue to deepest dark blue. The most durable
of all is the pure cornflower blue color. Colors play an important role in
determining the preciousness or value of a sapphire. Gemstones having clarity
and good color are quite valuable and rare.
In shaping the value and beauty of a
gemstone, clarity also plays a major role. Although, sapphires are clearer than
emeralds and rubies, they are not completely inclusion free such as diamonds. In
order to improve the clarity and color of the gemstone heat treatment is
generally given. If left untreated, these inclusions and flaws would affect the
shine of the stone.
The hardness of this gemstone is 9 on Mohs
scale. After diamond, it is the next hardest material. The more hard a gemstone
is, the more it is resistant to cracking, chipping and breaking. Sapphire is
the birthstone for the September borns. Prices vary according to the color of
the sapphire. The size and cut of the gemstone is also responsible for
determining the price of the same.
