Sapphire

All shapes of yellow and green are found, as are the exotic mixed coloured Sapphires that are called Parti - coloured. Ancients believed the Ten Commandments were written on a Sapphire tablet. It is not only considered to be the stone of faithfulness but importantly the gem of devoted love. Sapphire, like Ruby is from the Corundum family.
