The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Sapphires, a common gem found in the treasure system, come in many varieties. Most notably are the different color sapphires, such as the yellow sapphire, pink sapphire, and blue sapphire. All sapphires are a crystalline form of aluminum oxide, also called Corundum.[1]
Sapphires are the food source of sand elementals, which were a prize from a quest related to the Wavedancer event.

a blue sapphire
| Description: Shaped like a double pyramid, a blue sapphire has a dull, pearly finish. The crystal has a deep royal blue coloration and a subtle cloudiness that makes it appear almost opalescent.
|
a blue shimmarglin sapphire
| Description: Though it has not been properly faceted, the small jewel still collects light at its core and refracts it to the surface in a beautifully sparkling starburst. In hue, it is the same rich, serene blue with a tiny hint of green as a tropical lagoon. There is no play of colors in the stone's center, but the surface shimmers with iridescence similar to that of a butterfly's wing.
|
a dragonsbreath sapphire
| Description: A clear, pale blue gem, a dragonsbreath sapphire could easily be the cold breath of a dragon, solidified into stone. Thin tendrils of white mist swirled through the gem leave foggy trails in the ice blue crystal. Though glasslike, its edges are not sharp or pointed, but rather rounded as if the gem has been subjected to an intense scouring process.

a dragonseye sapphire
| Description: The outer edges of the sapphire are the same deep blue color as lapis, and, like lapis, flecks of gold tinge the stone. Unlike lapis, the gem permits light to pervade its depths, but, as light trespasses toward the center, less and less reflects back, creating a slow shift from the rich lapis hue through the blues of twilight to the darkness of a midnight sky. Dark crimson fire gleams in the heart of the stone, surrounded by rays of amber threading weakly through the darkest blue imaginable.

a star sapphire
| Description: Shaped like a double pyramid, a star sapphire has a dull, pearly finish. The crystal has a very faint blue coloration and a subtle cloudiness that makes it appear almost opalescent. When held in just the right way, a many-pointed star can be seen in the depths of the sapphire.
