A
white sapphire is a colorless form of sapphire used in a wide range of jewelry as a diamond substitute. Sapphires
tend to be much less expensive than diamonds, and socially conscious
purchasers who are concerned about conflict diamonds can avoid political
issues by purchasing sapphires instead. Most white sapphires are heat treated to obtain the desired clear color, as it is very rare to find naturally occurring white sapphires. Some may also be chemically treated, depending on the quality of the stone and its intended use.
Sapphires are a type of aluminum
oxide which forms in a crystalline pattern. There are numerous uses for
sapphires, ranging from industrial lasers to fine jewelry, and the
stones also come in a wide range of colors, despite the traditional
association with the color blue. Sapphires also come in purple, yellow,
and brown, and they may have unusual properties which cause them to
reflect light in a star pattern or change color under certain lighting
conditions.
