Sapphire is the blue, gem form of the mineral corundum (Alluminium Oxide). Which is the same as Ruby.
(Greek: σάπφειρος; sappheiros, 'blue stone', which probably referred instead at the time to lapis lazuli) is a gemstone variety of the mineral corundum, an aluminium oxide (α-Al2O3).

Sapphire is the most precious and valuable blue gemstone. It is a very desirable gemstone due to its excellent color, hardness, durability, and luster. In the gem trade, Sapphire without any color prefix refers to the blue variety of the mineral corundum. Source: http://www.minerals.net/gemstone/sapphire_gemstone.aspx
