When purchasing a blue sapphire look for an even distribution of color. You should not notice any major inclusions to your unaided eye. The most desired color and tone for a blue sapphire has been described as an intense cornflower blue with a velvety luster, although some dealers prefer a royal blue with a slight undertone of violet . Important thing is to make sure it's a color you love, anything else doesn't really matter. The oxides responsible for this color are usually iron and titanium.
