White sapphire is corundum without chromophore trace elements — the same mineral as blue, pink, or yellow sapphire, but entirely colorless. At Mohs 9, it is the hardest colorless gemstone alternative to diamond. At 1.42 carats in a round cut, this stone has the size and format that most directly replaces a diamond in a standard solitaire setting — without the diamond price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f;
