Pinkish Purple sapphire: Unique and elegant…

Sapphire is a variety of corundum, which is a mineral composed mainly of aluminum oxide. Corundum is found in several colors, including blue, pink, yellow, green, and colorless. However, pink sapphire is quite rare and is often considered more valuable than other varieties of corundum.

It forms when inclusions of chromium and titanium are present in the crystal structure of corundum. These inclusions create a pink coloration in the stone.

Often used in jewelry to create unique and elegant pieces, such as rings, earrings and necklaces.
