Scientifically, sapphire (corundum) is categorized as a brittle material. Although it boasts exceptional hardness, scoring 9 on the Mohs scale, surpassed only by diamond, which enables it to resist scratching, its tenacity, or resistance to breaking, is a distinct mechanical property. Generally, corundum is characterized by its brittle tenacity and conchoidal fracture, indicating a propensity to chip, crack, or shatter when subjected to sharp impact or sudden thermal shock. Fracture toughness measurements, which assess resistance to crack extension, corroborate its brittle nature, yet it is still regarded as possessing excellent toughness among gemstones, surpassing many others due to a lack of easy cleavage planes.

As an educational resource for amateur lapidary gemstone enthusiasts, this photo illustrates the importance of handling sapphires with care, as they are brittle and may be damaged if dropped on a hard surface. It is worth noting that the Mohs hardness scale, which rates sapphires a 9, is a measure of scratch resistance, rather than a comprehensive assessment of a mineral's hardness.

Are you aware that a common misconception about sapphires is that their hardness rating of nine indicates toughness, when in fact it only refers to scratch resistance, and they are actually quite brittle, contrary to the widespread assumption that sapphires are strong?
