Sapphire Pendants
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.
