Sapphire Description:
Sapphire is one of the most valuable and durable gemstones, known for its deep blue color but found in a variety of hues. It is a member of the corundum mineral family, composed of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). The presence of trace elements like iron and titanium gives sapphire its color.
Key Characteristics of Sapphire:
• Color: Most commonly deep blue, but also found in pink, yellow, green, purple, orange, white, and even color-changing varieties. Red corundum is classified as ruby.
• Hardness: 9 on the Mohs scale (extremely durable, second only to diamond).
• Luster: Vitreous (glassy) with strong brilliance.
• Clarity: High-quality sapphires are typically eye-clean, but some may have minor inclusions, such as silk-like rutile needles.
• Refractive Index: 1.76 – 1.78, contributing to its brilliance.
• Formation: Found in metamorphic, igneous, and alluvial deposits.
• Sources: Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Kashmir (India), Madagascar, Thailand, Australia, and the U.S. (Montana).
Special Types of Sapphire:
• Padparadscha Sapphire: A rare pinkish-orange variety highly prized for its unique color.
• Star Sapphire: Exhibits a six-rayed star effect (asterism) due to aligned rutile inclusions.
• Color-Change Sapphire: Shifts between blue and purple depending on lighting.
Treatment and Enhancements:
• Heat Treatment: Commonly used to improve color and clarity.
• Unheated Sapphires: Rare and highly valuable.
• Beryllium Treatment: Used to create vibrant orange or yellow hues.
Uses and Value:
• Used in high-end jewelry such as rings, necklaces, and crowns.
• September birthstone and a popular choice for engagement rings.
• Worn for symbolism—associated with wisdom, loyalty, and protection.
Would you like a comparison between sapphire and another gemstone, like tanzanite or spinel?

Wanneer een bod wordt geplaatst, is dit het maximale bedrag dat een persoon bereid is te bieden voor het product. Ons systeem zal dan automatisch bieden namens de bieder, waarbij het bod stapsgewijs wordt verhoogd tot het maximum om hun positie als hoogste bieder te behouden.
Wanneer er een pictogram is dat 'Automatisch bod' aangeeft, betekent dit dat ons systeem actief biedingen plaatst voor de bieder op basis van hun maximale bod. Dit kan lijken alsof bieders zichzelf overbieden, maar het is gewoon een resultaat van het systeem dat het bod bijwerkt om de maximale limiet van de bieder weer te geven.
