The durability of sapphires, particularly this remarkable gemstone from The Natural Sapphire Company, is rooted in its placement on the Mohs scale of hardness as the second hardest natural stone after diamonds. With a hardness rating of 9, sapphires are celebrated for their strength and resilience, making them ideal for jewelry pieces intended for daily wear.

One pivotal element of a gemstone's appeal, particularly for the educated buyer, is its clarity.

Such clarity ensures that the light transmitted through the stone is scarcely interrupted, resulting in a vibrant display of color that intensifies its allure. This clarity, in tandem with its deep color saturation, affirms its rarity and desirability in the realm of fine gemstones.
