BLACK SAPPHIRE STONE
Black sapphire is a nearly opaque stone whose colour is so dark that it appears to absorb all light that enters the gemstone. Sometimes, this stone also looks very dark blue or grey.
Black sapphires come mainly from Australia and are mined in large quantities. This variety of sapphire is cheap and is considered low grade.
An Alternative to Onyx?
Because of its color, black sapphire is often confused with onyx. Indeed, this stone can successfully act as an onyx substitute. Although both stones look very similar, onyx is actually softer, while sapphire is one of the hardest gemstones (9 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness).
