African Sapphires
This refers to both the significant sapphire deposits found across Africa, especially in Madagascar, Kenya, and Tanzania. Geologically, these gems are part of the Gondwana supercontinent's breakup, forming in metamorphic belts like the Mozambique Orogenic Belt, with Madagascar emerging as a leading producer of vibrant blue and color-change sapphires, despite environmental concerns. African sapphires, like their global counterparts, are corundum formed from ancient tectonic plate collisions, primarily within the Pan-African mountain-building events.
