What Makes The Sapphire So Unique And Fancy?

The sapphire is a gemstone which has a lot of surprising features. For instance, there is an orange variety with a excellent pink tinge which has a poetic name 'padparadscha', which means a 'lotus flower'. Another rare variety is the star sapphires, they have a star like light effect which seems to slither across the surface of the stone when it is moved.

In previous times, several people believed that the firmament was a huge blue sapphire in which the Earth was entrenched. This gem comes not in one but in all the blue shades of that firmament, from the deep blue to the shining mid-blue which casts its magical spell. However, this wonderful gemstone also comes in many other colors such as in pink, yellow purple and orange. Blue is the chief color of the sapphire. More than 50 percent people, all men and women loves sapphire in blue color. We relate this color to the sapphire because it shows the feelings of harmony and sympathy, loyalty and friendship. Therefore, the blue of the sapphire has become a color which fits in everything that is reliable and constant. That is one of the main reasons why women desire to wear the sapphire ring on their wedding day.

The sapphire symbolizes loyalty and faithfulness, however at the same moment it gives an expression to people's longing and love. Possibly the most renowned instance of this blue is to be seen in music video, in George Gershwin's ‘Rhapsody in Blue’. The blue sapphire even appears where nothing at all counts except concentrated mental efforts and clear-sightedness. The first computer which successfully defeated the world chess champion has an amazing name "Deep Blue".

Main reason behind its uniqueness:

Sapphire has beauty, transparency, magnificent colors as well as it has durability and constancy. The sapphire belongs to the corundum family, the members of which are characterized by their outstanding hardness (9 on Mohs scale). Certainly the hardness is exceeded only by that of the diamond and diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth. Sapphires have very high hardness levels and therefore, they are easy to look after. And requires least care from the side of the wearer. Machining sapphire process is very difficult as it requires specialized and expensive diamond tooling. Sapphire is a hard material and that’s why its machining is very tough. Only experienced individuals are able to formulate accurate and precision manufacturing.

The gemstones of the corundum group consist of pure aluminum oxide which can be further crystallized into magnificent gemstones. The presence of small amounts of other elements, especially chrome and iron, are accountable for the coloring. These elements turn the crystal that was basically white into a red, blue, yellow, greenish or pink sapphire. Thus, it can be concluded that every corundum is not a sapphire. From centuries there were clashes of opinion between the specialists as to which stones can be called as sapphires. Finally, the decision was made that all those which were not ruby red 'sapphires' and the ruby red ones (colored by chrome) should be called 'rubies'.

A blue sapphire fits in with a well balanced lifestyle in which temperament and reliability run together. There is constantly a willingness to come across new things as with the woman who wears it. In the trading and business, sapphires which are not blue are called as 'fancies'. To make it easier to distinguish among them, they are referred to not only by a depiction of their color but also by their gemstone name. In other words, fancy sapphires are also called as yellow, green, purple, pink, or white sapphires. Fancy sapphires have pure individuality and are just made for lovers of idiosyncratic colored stone jewellery. They are available in different charming variety of designs - as ear jewellery, necklace pendants and ring stones or as solitaires, strung gracefully together.

Gemstone lovers fell in love with these sapphire rarities and its uniqueness. Therefore, the eternalness of relationships is one of the main features that are said to belong to this gemstone.
