Blue sapphires are simply called sapphires. Sapphires of other colors are named yellow sapphire, pink sapphire, etc. Sapphires get their extraordinary colors from traces of iron, titanium, chromium, and other elements. Color is the most important element in estimating the value of sapphire. Hue counts, the closer to a pure blue the better, but saturation is more important. Top sapphires reach vivid saturation. (Many of the gems on the market are actually grayish). Tone is also an important consideration.
