The sapphire gemstone – from cornflower blue to the color of lotus flowers

When you hear the name sapphire, you immediately think of a deep blue gemstone. In fact, sapphires are particularly sought after when they have a vibrant, medium-light blue hue without a grayish tinge, reminiscent of the beautiful appearance of cornflowers. The gemstone also comes in almost every other color, with the sole exception of red. This is because sapphires and rubies both belong to the corundum group , with the red varieties being called rubies and all other colors being called sapphires. The gemstone is very exclusive in the yellow-pink color of lotus blossoms – in technical terms, it is referred to by the Indian word for this flower, padparadscha. A characteristic property of sapphires is pleochroism, which is expressed by the gemstone taking on different colors in the eye of the beholder when viewed from different directions. The appearance of a blue sapphire can vary between a pure blue and a greenish-blue.

Sri Lanka and India – the sapphire and its most important deposits

Sri Lanka is known for the discovery of sapphires since ancient times, which are striking due to their exceptionally beautiful blue-violet color. A sapphire displaying a six-pointed star of light (asterism) or a narrow, bright stripe of light reminiscent of a cat's eye sparkling in the dark (chatoyance) is a special gem that can also be found in Sri Lanka. The highest-quality cornflower-blue gemstones were found in the Indian region of Kashmir, and even today the term Kashmir sapphire is synonymous with the highest quality. However, a sapphire from there is a rarity today, as the deposits have long since been exhausted.

The sapphire – its purity and its cut

In general, a sapphire is considered high-quality if it exhibits high transparency and thus enchanting sparkle. However, cloudy gemstones are an exception, as they exhibit unusual optical effects such as chatoyance or asterism. The cut chosen for a sapphire depends largely on its clarity. Translucent and translucent gemstones are faceted to enhance their brilliance, while a star sapphire looks most beautiful with a smooth, outwardly curved surface.
