Sapphire is an incredibly durable stone that is excellent for everyday wear. Sapphire is the official birthstone for the month of September. This is an accepted practice in the industry, and it is best to assume ALL sapphire has been heat treated unless otherwise proven by a trusted independent laboratory report. Most sapphire available on the market is heat treated. Color changing varieties do exist, as well as stones that display "asterism," a term for when reflected light creates a star effect in the stone.
Other popular colors in the trade include yellow, pink, and white sapphire. Another notable variety of corundum is "padparadscha sapphire," a sunset, salmon pink sapphire from Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Tanzania. This means that all rubies are a particular shade of red sapphire. Like ruby, sapphire is a member of the "corundum" family. While many know sapphire to be blue, the gemstone forms naturally in any shade and saturation of color on the color spectrum.
