Sapphire is the name for all varieties of the mineral corundum that are not red, since red corundum is known as ruby. Traces of titanium and iron give sapphire a blue color, vanadium lends a purple color, and pink sapphires contain traces of chromium. With the exception of diamond and moissanite, no other mineral is harder than sapphire.
Sapphires are considered stones of protection. They are said to encourage faithfulness, loyalty, and prosperity. Sapphires are often gifts for 45th wedding anniversaries and blue sapphires are the birthstone for September.
