(with edit):Sapphire isn't a rock, it's a mineral.who ever wrote this know that people asks "In which type of ROCK does the sapphire falls in " okay and yes it is not a rock and no its not an igneous rock its a metamorphic rock .Edit (by Luke Tomaneng): I can understand the confusion, because sapphire can sometimes be found in igneous rocks (and, as the answer in italic states, some metamorphic rocks as well). Though it is not a "rock" of its own, I suppose sapphire can at times be considered to be part of an igneous rock.
