I studied Gemmology i can tell you that Red zapphire are real and natural.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
No you didn't and no they aren't. Why wake up just to lie on the internet?
Why all this meanness? Sapphires and rubies are both corundum, so essentially they are the same gem and only one element changes their color. There are also yellow and orange sapphires.
I agree (▰˘◡˘▰)
Did you read my comment at all?
There are no red sapphires because red corundum is called Ruby, not sapphire. I state that specifically in my original comment. I even call out yellow sapphires in my comments specifically.
You reply and say no it's red sapphire but that's not true. It's Ruby. You lied. Now you're claiming I mean for calling out your lie. You didn't read my comment, then you responded with a lie, and now you're doubling down on that lie.
Every color of corundum is a sapphire EXCEPT RED. Yellow corundum is a yellow sapphire. Orange corundum is an orange sapphire. Pink corundum is a pink sapphire. Blue corundum is a blue sapphire. Green corundum is a green sapphire. Any color in between is a sapphire EXCEPT RED.
Red corundum is not a sapphire, red corundum is a ruby. There is no such thing as a red sapphire. If someone tries to sell you a red sapphire they are almost certainly scamming you because if they knew anything about gemstones and if their gemstones were legitimate they would be selling you a ruby.
You're agreeing with something that is wrong.
Selvatica is a liar. They don't know anything about gemstones. They also didn't read my comment or do any research on sapphires until I called them a liar. Their lie is that they've studied gemstones. If they had studied gemstones they would know there is no such thing as a red sapphire.
Please reread my original comment for an explanation on why there's no such thing as a red sapphire. If someone tries to sell you a red sapphire they are almost certainly scamming you because if they knew anything about gemstones and if their gemstones were legitimate they would be selling you a ruby.
Fake gemstones are incredibly common and if you're interested in gemstones or fine jewelry it's important to understand the language and terminology used because that can help you identify scammers like Selvatica.
Wow. Ok, sorry for existing. You know that this is not really kind? This could be taken in another way, but you really did escalte it.
Just to clarify a few things, since I actually know gemology:
Red sapphires do exist. They are naturally occurring stones, but they are treated to appear bright red. So yes, they are natural, but treated. They cannot be classified as rubies, but they exist. End of story.
They can still be called natural because the base stone is natural. It’s like saying that a diamond heated to make it more transparent is no longer natural. Yes, it’s natural, but it’s treated, period.
Heating a Diamond, alters the crystal lattice, changing how light passes through them and therefore their color. Many yellow diamonds are treated to look whiter or more vividly yellow, because strong fancy colors are much more valuable than pale yellow ones (like F color or below, which are considered unattractive).
Diamonds can also be fracture-filled with lead glass, a process also used on emeralds and other gems, which makes them look clearer but drastically reduces their value. Such stones cannot withstand high temperatures later, and the glass can leak out or the stone can even crack. This can make a diamond of I1/I2 to a VVS2.
Black diamonds: natural ones exist but are extremely rare. Most “black diamonds” on the market are low-quality stones with heavy inclusions that are artificially treated (partially graphitized) to appear solid black.
And Green diamond are natural, but really rare. They form thanks to radioactivity, and some may still have some radioactivity and therefore might not be wearable.
However, it’s better to make them in a lab, by taking a natural diamond and turning it green.
So before claiming that red sapphires are not real and that they can be called only rubies or that I “don’t know what I’m talking about,” maybe learn a bit about gemology first.
…Anyway, actually, let’s say that most of the things I just told you right now you could look up on the internet, but, honestly, this answer is more of a personal thing in this moment, so whether you believe me or not doesn’t matter to me, because I know what the hell I’ve studied, I know what the hell I know, and if you don’t understand a damn thing about gemology, that’s not my fault.
If a sapphire is red then it is a ruby. If a sapphire is artificially turned red it's still a ruby because red sapphires are rubies because red sapphires don't exist.
Sure, corundum can be red, red corundum isn't even all that rare, corundum can be naturally red or treated to be made red. But if corundum is red then it is a ruby. Period.
You can talk about other gems all you want... That doesn't change anything.
If someone tries to sell you a red sapphire they are almost certainly scamming you because if they were legitimate and knew anything about gemstones they would be selling you a Ruby. You can search on Google right now and buy a red sapphire but you are almost certainly buying something that is much lower quality for a much higher price than if you just bought a ruby.
Selvatica is lying when they say they know anything about gemstones because they continue to insist that Red sapphires are normal. They even say that for sapphires to be red the color has to be artificial, but that's not true. It's not uncommon at all for corundum to be red. Natural rubies aren't even hard to find or even that expensive compared to other precious gems.
Look, I know that I'm petty... There is no such thing as a red sapphire. Red sapphires are rubies. The ring that blonde man called a sapphire is red.
Sapphires are gemstones made of the mineral corundum that occur in many colors, such as blue, yellow, green, and pink. The only color that is not called sapphire is red. When corundum is red, it is classified as a ruby.
This means that rubies and sapphires are essentially the same mineral, just distinguished by color. A “red sapphire” is not a recognized gem type. If the stone is truly red corundum, it is always considered a ruby.
