Sapphire is the gem variety of corundum (Al2O3), prized for its brilliance, hardness, and wide range of colors.
Appearance & Color
Best known for blue hues, ranging from velvety royal blue to light cornflower blue, caused by trace amounts of iron and titanium.
Can occur in nearly any color except red (red corundum is ruby) — pink, yellow, green, purple, orange (padparadscha sapphire), and colorless.
Many display excellent transparency and a vivid, saturated tone; some exhibit asterism (a star effect) when cut as cabochons.
Physical Properties
Hardness: 9 on the Mohs scale — second only to diamond in natural hardness.
Luster: Vitreous (glassy).
Cleavage: None (very durable).
Refractive Index: ~1.762–1.770.
Specific Gravity: ~3.95–4.03.
Geological Occurrence
Forms in metamorphic rocks (gneiss, schist) and igneous rocks (basalt, syenite), as well as alluvial deposits.
Major sources: Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Madagascar, Thailand, Kashmir (famous “cornflower” blue), Australia, Montana (USA).
Special Notes
Many sapphires are heat-treated to enhance color and clarity; this is widely accepted if disclosed.
Untreated, vivid sapphires are rare and command high prices.
Sapphires are symbols of wisdom, loyalty, and nobility, historically used in royal regalia.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
