About Songea Sapphire

Sapphire, with its Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond, is one of the most valuable and wearable of all gemstones. Famed for its brilliance and rich blue color, sapphire actually occurs in a wide range of colors, including pink, yellow and green. Sapphire is every color of corundum except for red, which is ruby. The name corundum comes from the ancient Sanskrit "kuruvindam", while the name "sapphire" comes from the Persian word "safir". Sapphires are seen as the guardians of love. When given as a gift they enhance love and join the souls. Also, sapphires have been used to banish envy and jealousy as well as promote fidelity in marriage.

The Songea region of Tanzania is an important source for fine sapphire. Songea sapphires are also sometimes traded as "sunset ruby", "sun ruby", "cinnamon sapphire" and "imperial sapphire". From this page, you can use our filters at the top or on the left-hand side to find sapphire gems by color, shape, cut and so on.

Site was recommended to me by my gemology professor. Based on what I’ve seen gemselect offers good quality stones for a large range of prices

Ive been shopping here many times before, so navigating around was easy. I am accustomed to the quality of the items and that's the main reason I come here. When I need non heated stones I know I can count on GemSelect being authentic. I trust them because I double check their quality. And never had problems with them. And yes I do recommend shopping there to some of my clients who are "less knowledgable" of industry. GemSelect is so user friendly they're great for beginner gem shoppers!

Well fell in love with the site right away ordered two many items I knew I would return a few. Decided I wanted to invest in a sapphire emerald or ruby after more research. The diamonds that I received we just stuck together just ordered one more I will have 10 in all diamonds two yellow six white. I'm so very happy I didn't know what I was going to keep and definitely diamonds were winner.
