5 Things You Must Know About Sapphires

Sapphires are beautiful precious gems that have been prized for thousands of years. But did you know that not all sapphires are blue? In fact, it's also possible to find green or yellow sapphires!

Here are five facts about this precious gem:

They're not as popular as diamonds.

You might have a lot of questions about sapphires. After all, they're not as popular as diamonds. Why is that?

Because they're not as common. Sapphires are among the rarest gemstones on Earth, and because of this, they can be more expensive than diamonds. Most people don't know about them! This can be good for those who want to get into the market early and cash in on the next big thing in jewelry (and before everyone else does). But it's also bad because you'll need more time and money than you'd need with other gemstones like rubies or emeralds; you'll need more patience!

BABA GEMS Online Sapphires are some of the best sapphires, and we'll prove it. We've been in business for years, and we've worked hard to build a place where you can find exactly what you're looking for at a price that will not break the bank.

The value of a sapphire is based on its color, carat weight, clarity and cut

The value of a sapphire is based on its color, carat weight, clarity and cut. While all four factors are important, the most important factor is color. In fact, the vast majority of gemstones are valued by their color rather than size or shape. This can be seen in how colored diamonds (which have no clarity rating) sell for more money than clear ones (which have a clarity rating).

Carat weight secondarily affects sapphire prices due to its relation to rarity and size; larger stones are rarer and, therefore more valuable than smaller ones.

Clarity has little impact on price because you may find yourself paying for something that's not there! For example: if you buy an un-faceted "octahedral" sapphire without checking its transparency through magnification first—which means looking at both sides under light—you might be disappointed when your new stone turns out not to be so transparent after all… It could just be milky!

The name corundum describes both sapphires and rubies.

Corundum is a mineral that, in its purest form, is composed of aluminum oxide. The word "corundum" comes from the Greek word meaning "ruby." It's also known as sapphire and ruby—a bit confusing considering that it's not just one gemstone but two! Corundum can be found in colors ranging from white to red to blue and even yellow (although these color varieties are less common).

Corundum crystals have a hexagonal crystal structure and are usually transparent with luster similar to glass. These crystals are commonly used as abrasives for grinding stones; they're also used in bearings because they resist abrasion so well.

Not all sapphires are blue

You're only partially right if you think of sapphires as the blue gems in engagement rings and necklaces. Sapphires come in various colors—from yellow to purple—and are not always blue!

In fact, it's hard to find a color that can't be made into an excellent sapphire gemstone. Sapphires can also be pink, orange, green and white. These stones are called fancy-colored sapphires (or "fancies").

Sapphire is actually one type of corundum: the second hardest mineral on Earth after diamond. Sapphires come from Sri Lanka or Thailand where they were first mined thousands of years ago; today these countries produce 90% of all fine quality colored sapphire worldwide.

Natural blue sapphires get their color from traces of iron and titanium in the crystal structure

Blue sapphires are rarer, but they're also more valuable than pink or yellow stones. The blue color comes from traces of iron and titanium in the crystal structure. These elements give the stone its distinctive hue and make it more expensive than other types of sapphire.
