They are 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making them the hardest minerals in the world after diamonds. The best known are blue sapphires, sapphires with other colors are called &#8220;fancy sapphires&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The best-known varieties are pink, orange, yellow and white sapphires, but there are also bi-color, color-change and star sapphires.

There are also stones with red nuances, although these are rarer. Stones with violet nuances, found mainly in Madagascar, are fired at low temperatures to obtain pink sapphires.

In the past, many stones with a color shade between orange and pink were called padparadscha, but nowadays gemological laboratories restrict this name to a narrow color range of pink-orange or orange-pink. If the color saturation is less strong, the sapphires are called peach-colored. Padparadscha sapphire is the only gemstone in which the value increases as the color saturation decreases.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6593&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"tng-custom-divider\"><div class=\"tng-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thenaturalgem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/bildschirmfoto-2020-05-12-um-11.09.04.png\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Yellow sapphires<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589879657419{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15707&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]This color variety is caused by the iron contained in the stone.

One of the most famous star sapphires is the &#8220;Star of Bombay,&#8221; which is 182 carats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thenaturalgem.com\/en\/gemstones\/sapphire\/?wps-filter=farbe:color-change,product_cat:sapphire\">Color-changing sapphires<\/a> show a different color under fluorescent light; for example, they appear violet in natural light and blue under UV light. The intensity of the color change varies depending on the stone and can range from a faint glimmer to two clearly distinguishable colors. The more visible and the more pronounced the color change, the more expensive the stone. Color change sapphires come in shades of blue, purple and brown.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thenaturalgem.com\/en\/gemstones\/sapphire\/?wps-filter=farbe:multicolor-en,product_cat:sapphire\">Bicolor sapphires<\/a> are stones in which the two colors or color zones are visible to the naked eye in natural light. They are also called Parti sapphires and can be brown and yellow or green and blue. The most desirable stones are those that show a gradual change, with one color variety occurring at one end of the stone and the coloration ending with the other color variety at the other end. These sapphires are rare compared to other fancy sapphires.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best-known varieties are pink, orange, yellow and white sapphires, but there are also bi-color, color-change and star sapphires. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":37200,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knowledge"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
