Everyone knows and loves serene blue sapphire, but pink sapphire is in a
class of its own. Ranging from a soft rose to a vivid fuchsia, pink sapphire is
an eye-catching gem. Being in the corundum family which includes all colors
of sapphire and ruby, pink sapphire is tough and durable, making it a great
choice even for an engagement ring!
The best source for the finest pink sapphire is Myanmar (formerly Burma),
although it can be found as close to home as Montana. Other sources include
Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Australia.
Pink sapphire is said to bring love and allow one to surrender for the
greater good. It can be worn as an alternate October birthstone to opal.
