Faceted Sapphire

The mineral corundum (sapphire) consists of pure aluminium oxide. Trace amounts of other elements such as titanium and chromium give corundum their blue, yellow, pink, purple, orange or greenish color. Sapphire includes any gemstone quality varieties of the mineral corundum except the fully saturated red variety, which is instead known as ruby, and the pinkish-orange variety known as padparadscha.
