Fancy
Sapphires originally come from the Mogok Valley of Myanmar. A fancy sapphire is
a gem -quality corundum that is any color other than
red, blue, or colorless. The mineral known as corundum occurs in an
infinite number of colors. When it is red, it is known as ruby, when blue it is known as sapphire, and when colorless it is known
as white sapphire. All other colors of gem-quality corundum are fancy sapphire.
Generally, the clearer and more vivid the colour, the more valuable the fancy
sapphire. If the colour is in the pastel range, the clarity should be good. No
matter what the colour, sapphires combine durability and beauty for generations
of pleasure.
