They are the second toughest stone after a diamond and the only thing that can make a scratch on a Ceylon Sapphire is also a diamond since they rank 9 on the Mohs Scale of hardness.But durability is not the only appealing factor of a Ceylon Sapphire. This gemstone comes in a motley of colors from pink sapphires, teal sapphires, yellow, indigo, purple, blue, mermaid sapphires, and more. In fact, the only color it doesn’t come in is red.
