Purple and violet sapphire comes from the corundum family. It gets its yellow because of the presense of the trace element vanadium. Violet and purple sapphires naturally occur in nature and it is common to heat (thermal enhancement) violet and purple sapphires to improve their colour. The untreated ones are rare and command a premium.
