Its refractive index is typically approximately 1.762–1.770, while its specific gravity is commonly around 4.00.
The pink coloration of sapphire is generally associated with trace chromium within the crystal structure. Additional trace elements and their interactions can affect the appearance of individual gemstones.
These are general gemological properties of sapphire and are not individual laboratory measurements of this particular gemstone.
