The name Sapphire derives from Greek "sappheiros" . Synthetic sapphires are Lab-grown under controlled conditions.
Synthetic sapphires are chemically identical to the real. A synthetic white sapphire tends to be less expensive then natural.
Sapphires are commonly worn in jewelry. Because of remarkable hardness (9 in Mohs Scale), Sapphires are used in some non-ornamental applications (scientific instruments, high-durability windows, etc.)
