Blue Safir

Sapphire, the name has originated from Latin 'sapphirus' meaning blue and the Persian "safir' signifying beloved of Saturn. That is it. Now what you will find, as you continue reading below, wouldn't resemble the same monotony on this gemstone, which almost 90% of the online material would provide.

Apart from the same matter like blue and other types of colors found in this crystal, there is much more to provide to buyers. This includes information about color zoning, enhancements, or treatments, and imitations.

Pleochroism in corundum family, makes sapphire, a color zone prone stone. Color zone in this stone indicates towards the growth layers of mineral. It actually is in the form of series of concentric hexagons parallel to prismatic crystal faces. Like known, color and clarity of a gemstone, play a vital role in its pricing.

While valuing blue sapphire, a stone with a violet overtone, with no hints of grey or green, is preferred. As above, irregular color coverage, or dispersion is detracting from its value and beauty. A properly faceted stone can solve a stone's color zoning problem and enhance its color coverage.
