Sapphires can be obtained from rare ore deposits after breaking them. Rare ore deposits have a golden tinge, can drop other rare ores, and can be found in various areas and caves.

Rare Ore Deposits Locations

Map View	Location
	Cave near Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower XYZ Coordinates: 1337, -1195, 0567.
	Death Mountain
	Yiga Clan Maritta Branch XYZ Coordinates: -0643, 2032, 0158.
	Puffer Beach Overhead Cave XYZ Coordinates: 0283, -3850, 0003.

Since the deposit drops random ores, it's best to save before breaking the deposit, then keep breaking the deposite and resetting until you get a Sapphire.

Set the Sensor + to Rare Ore Deposits

Setting the sensor to a material that can be found in the overworld will let you track it when nearby. This is a must when farming for materials.

Defeat a Rare Stone Talus

A Rare Stone Talus will drop rare ores and a Stone talus Heart to fuse with your weapons, upon defeating it. Unlike other Talus, their weak point resembles a rare ore deposit, which shines and twinkles in gold.

Rare Stone Talus Locations

	Guchini Pain 1020, -3379, 0023
	Near Horse God Bridge 0517, -3700, 0059

	In Tanagar Canyon, South of Turakawan Shrine -3482, 0178, -0104
	In Drenan Highlands, North of Kikakin Shrine -0388, 2954, 0147

It would be best to save before fighting one of them as their attacks are fatal, and it would be good to reset a fight until you receive your desired drops.

Sell Sapphires for Rupees

Sell Price	150

Sapphires can be sold for 150 Rupees each at any shop or traveling merchant.

Sell to Ramella in bulk for more rupees
