About Sapphirine
Sapphirine is a rare magnesium-aluminum silicate mineral displaying vivid sapphire-blue to pale lavender hues, whose intense color can rival the finest blue sapphires despite the stone's rarity in gem-quality form. It forms in highly magnesian, aluminum-rich metamorphic rocks and has been found in gem-quality material in Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Greenland. Its deep saturated blue and extreme rarity make it a prized trophy for serious gem collectors.
