Today's #MinCup23 match is corundum vs lawsonite.

*Cracks knuckles*

I'm voting corundum, because folklore (and because as a kid I had a book on gemstones, and padparadscha seemed so magical). 

I'm going to make this a thread, because rubies and sapphires figure into a whole bunch of tales and legends.
