Sapphires WHOLESALE to the trade today for approx. $50 for a 1 cwt stone of VERY low grade quality to approx. $3,000 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. Larger sizes increase cost dramatically. The price goes up to well over $20,000 or more per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. ($40,000 for unheated) The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup. I bought my stones directly from the source and I always sell well below retail replacement, which is for bricks and mortar stores with high overheads.

Sapphire is the birth stone for those born in September. Corundum, with traces of iron, titanium, chromium, vanadium or magnesium responsible for the color. Sapphires are 9 on the mohs scale, right behind diamond ( moh's10)
Sapphire is said to bring peace and prosperity to those that own it.
Sapphires are not as expensive as the other corundum, Ruby. The most expensive sapphire to my knowledge sold for approx. $17,00,000.00 at auction.
