The story: White sapphire, a colorless variety of corundum, gets its name from the Greek “sappheiros,” which once referred to blue stones like lapis lazuli. Although often overshadowed by blue sapphires, white sapphire was prized in ancient times for its purity and clarity, symbolizing wisdom and protection. This gem shares the same physical properties as other sapphires, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it ideal for long-lasting jewelry.
