I*think* sapphire is just pure black with no hue of anything. the blacks are azurite and citrine. Azurite is blue and citrine is brown, but both are pretty much black in most lights. Azurite has an inky quality and in sunlight sparkles blue. its very lovely! the problem with the dark colours is that you need to wash them all the time to maintain them and also you get swirls from washing, even when you wash carefully. Even with this though, I dont regret my azurite!
