Pink Sapphire colors can range from light pastel pink to medium pink to a screaming hot pink.
Sapphires and Rubies are actually the same mineral – corundum. Pure Corundum is colorless; the trace element chromium is responsible for the red of Ruby and the pink of Pink Sapphire. In a sense, Pink Sapphires are a lighter version of Ruby.
Sapphires are routinely treated to improve their clarity and color. Finding Natural, untreated stones is relatively rare which generally makes them more valuable.
Principal mining locations for Pink Sapphire are Madagascar, Sri Lanka and Burma.
They are durable gemstones with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs Scale and can easily be used in all types of jewelry.
