How are sapphires formed?
Sapphires form under the earth's surface over millions of years. They are the result of several processes, including high
temperature and pressure, the result. These are the ideal conditions for metamorphic processes that
sapphires are formed. When liquid magma, found deep in the earth, cools, it allows minerals
crystallise. The best and purest forms of corundum, also known as sapphires, are
these minerals that were recrystallised in a process that took millions of years.
Sapphire is a mineral, but it is not a diamond, although diamond is also a mineral. They are both
different types of minerals. Sapphires are a variety of the mineral corundum, which is an aluminium oxide.
Different sapphire elements give rise to different shades. For example, iron causes a blue colour,
titanium is yellow and chromium is purple.
Where do sapphires come from?

Sapphires are mined in various places around the world, but most come from Cambodia,
Colombia, India and Kenya. Other areas include Afghanistan, Australia, Nepal, the USA and Vietnam.
Sapphires from different regions differ from each other in chemical structure and appearance.
Sapphire cut
While the colour of a sapphire is its most important characteristic, the cut is a close second. This is because sapphire
the way it is cut directly affects its colour. Therefore, the centre of the sapphire must be cut so that it
reflect light and colour. When the centre of the stone is dead and does not reflect light or colour, it
called a window. Sapphires with large windows will be sold at a lower price, while stones without
windows that have full colour and reflect light will be sold at a higher price.
Sapphire colours
Sapphires, most commonly known for their blue colour, are available in a wide range of colours, including pink and orange,
yellow, green, purple, colourless and black. These stones are a great alternative to more expensive colours
diamonds, although some types of fancy sapphires can also be quite expensive. This is one of the
the most attractive aspects of sapphire; many colour choices.
Different types of sapphires
Genuine, unheated sapphires are in high demand and, like diamonds, are found in nature. Synthetic
Sapphires created in laboratories exist because of the rarity and high cost of real sapphires. Natural or rather
Unheated sapphires are found in several colours, with blue being the most recognisable and popular colour.

which can be used in place of diamonds because of their similarities. There are also sapphires which contain colours
