Gemstones are full of surprises. From sapphires that aren’t always blue, to the “garden” hidden inside an emerald, there’s so much more to these stones than colour alone.
A few facts we love:
💎 Sapphires come in pink, yellow, green and white too.
💎 Ruby and sapphire are actually part of the same mineral family: corundum.
💎 The natural inclusions seen in emeralds are often called garden, French for “garden”.
💎 Moonstone’s soft glow is called adularescence, created as light scatters within the stone.
