Sapphire is a valuable blue gem found in small clusters within bauxite clusters. A given cluster may also contain a single star sapphire, a gem 1.5× as valuable. It is not magma-safe, having the same melting point (11500 °U ) and other properties as its more valuable relative.

Like all precious and rare gems, they may also make up part of the walls of unusual volcanic walls.
In real life[edit]
"Sapphire" is any type of corundum (Aluminum Oxide: Al2O3) which is not red (which would be classified as a ruby); Unlike in-game, sapphires do not occur within bauxite in real life. Although sapphires in real life can be a variety of colours, in Dwarf Fortress, they are always blue.
