The 70th wedding anniversary is represented by the gemstone sapphire and is known as the sapphire jubilee. The sapphire is also the birthstone for September. The gem is famous for its deep ocean-blue hue.
The sapphire is known as the blue sister of the ruby because they are made of the same material, the mineral corundum. It is the second hardest gemstone after the diamond. Red corundum is known as ruby, while all other colors are referred to as sapphire. While blue is the classic sapphire color, sapphire is actually found in a wide range of colors.
Sapphires come from Thailand, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Tanzania and Australia. The United States, Cambodia, Nigeria, Kenya and China also produce some sapphires. Perhaps the most famous sources for sapphires are the Kashmir region of India, and Burma. Discovered over 100 years ago, the Kashmir sapphire has a lovely, velvety blue color prized by gem lovers. Burmese sapphires can also be fine, but like the Kashmir region, these two areas today produce very little material.
