The "SapphireLanguage" is one or more of the following...
''(each in its own section)''

Red corundum is called ruby, and all other colors are called sapphire, but the distinction between ruby and pink or plum sapphire is so controversial that some jewelers may use Pantone color standards to distinguish them."
