In spite of the fact that sap.
phires and rubies are of exactly
the same composition, being iden-
teal with the exception of color
rubies are worth many times more
than sapphires, since rubies, most
particularly perfect ones, are very
rare. All precious corundum OF
any color other than red is sap
phire these stones being found in
blue white, pink, violet, green,
and golden. However the most
preferable color is the blue SHADE

This stone. as does the ruby
ranks 9 in hardness. which is next
to a diamond This makes II an
extremely desirable gem for any
type of jewelry. especially that
which receives great deal OF

The best specimens of sapphlrcs
are found in Burma, Siam ana
Ceylon. Excellent specimens, now,

river in Montana. This corundun
is usually found in limestone arc

Many synthetic sapphries are
