White Sapphire

White sapphires are found in Burma, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Africa, Pakistan, and the United States.

They are colourless, and are an excellent stone to use instead of a diamond. They sparkle brilliantly and are nearly as hard as a diamond. Large white sapphires are rare.

White sapphire is usually heat treated to improve the colour and to improve the stone's appearance.
