Sapphire is a gemstone variety of the mineral Corundum, an aluminium oxide (α-Al2O3). Trace amounts of other elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, copper or magnesium can give corundum blue, yellow, pink, purple, orange or greenish colour. Chromium impurities in corundum yield a red tint and the resultant gemstone is called a Ruby. Corundum has a graded hardness of 9 on the Mohs Scale. Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral Beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) coloured green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a graded hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs Scale.
