The glorious September birthstone, the lemon yellow sapphire from Madagascar, is a gorgeous 0.835ct in size and has a strong luster that makes it perfect for a one-of-a-kind sapphire wedding.
Sapphires are made from the same mineral corundum as rubies, and are the same except for the important element of color; any corundum other than red is called sapphire.
Corundum, a crystalline aluminum oxide, is mined primarily from placer deposits and, more rarely, from bedrock deposits just below the earth's surface.
It is also an "arochromatic" gemstone, meaning its color is determined by trace elements such as iron and titanium.
