The word Sapphire, from the Hebrew word Sapir, is the single-crystal sort of aluminium oxide, a mineral known as corundum. It can be discovered naturally as precious stones or made in enormous crystal boules for a range of applications. The corundum group is composed of pure aluminium oxide. Sapphire includes any precious stone quality types of the mineral corundum including the red variety, which is AKA ruby.
