Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum, a type of aluminum oxide. Impurities of different elements give sapphire its color.

It may be blue, pink, yellow, green, orange, brown and black or gray. When this mineral is colored red, it is a ruby. There is an orangish pink variety called padparadscha.
