Try the water drop test. If the water forms drops you probably have a sapphire. If it spreads its probably mineral. I say probably because I've done this and sometimes received curious results.
What a great trick! Just went to do the test in the office with the Hami Monte-Carlo I am wearing, and the drop stayed put (even though it is a domed crystal). Tried with a Marina Militare I have in the drawer waiting its turn to go home (:D), and it spread instantly!
On another note, anyone seeing a WIS doing this test will be more convinced that we lost more than one screw...
