A sapphire crystal doesn't stop scratches completely
Well according to the Mohs index: sapphire crystal is rated at a 9 (diamond is 10); thus in theory, the only harder material the can scratch another softer material. So there are not a lot of everyday things that could scratch sapphire... in theory.

It's the thin film that gets scratched. That's what we are seeing when we see "scratches"
ETA: It's called an AR coating. And not all sapphire has it but some do.

If you scratch sapphire Crystal, you hit the piss out of it. If it had been mineral it would have broken.
My Sinn is second hand. Has minute scratch. I don't know what that guy did. My Tag is brand new. I've knocked the shite out of it a couple times... Nothing.
