They are very durable and retain their beautiful appearance even with minimal care.ĬOLOR : Sapphires are known for their royal blue color, but apart from red rubies, all other corundums are also classified as sapphires. Sapphires are corundums with a hardness of 9, so only diamonds are harder than them.
