sapphire
Sapphire, September's birthstone, and its close cousin Ruby, are members of the corundum mineral species; they are chemically the same mineral, just a different colour. This gem can also naturally appear in a wide spectrum of shades including yellow, purple, orange, green and white - corundum in these colours are known as 'Fancy Sapphires'!
