pink sapphire

Blush-colored precious stone

A pink sapphire is a variety of corundum—the same mineral as ruby and blue sapphire—colored pink by trace amounts of chromium.

The line between pink sapphire and ruby is somewhat arbitrary, with deeper pinks sometimes classified as rubies.

Pink sapphires are prized in jewelry for their romantic color: She chose a pink sapphire for her engagement ring.
