Sapphire is a precious stone in the corundum family. Its bright pink color comes from  inclusions of chromium in its crystal lattice. You can find sapphires in black and white, as well as practically every color of the rainbow including: purple, hot and pastel pinks, blues, blue-green, dark green, olive, yellow and orangey-pink (also know as Padparadscha). There are even color-change sapphires that change from blue to violet or blue to green-blue to ochre when going from daylight to incandescent lighting. Basically, sapphires come in every color but RED.

Fun fact: A ruby is technically a type of sapphire, as they are both in the corundum family. Like pink sapphires, the rubies get their color from the inclusion of chromium in their crystalline structure. Further, like pink sapphires, many rubies are heated to amp up their color intensity.

Ancient civilizations like the Babylon, Ancient Persia, Ancient Israel and Ancient Greece all prized sapphires. The original Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments – Yes, THOSE 10 Commandments – were supposed to have been written on sapphire tablets. However, since sapphires have a Mohs Hardness of "9" – For comparison, diamonds have a Mohs hardess of "10" – it seems like it would take a really long time to write them down.

Sapphires of all colors have decorated thrones, crowns and temples. It's no wonder kings, queens, priests and anyone who ruled by divine right loved them.
