Sapphire
An Introduction to Sapphire
Sapphire obtained its name from both the Greek ‘Sappheiros’ and the Latin ‘Sapphirus’, meaning ‘Blue Stone’. Sapphire is highly desired because of its rich, deep blue color and the rarity of naturally occurring high quality Sapphire specimens. Sapphire is one of only four precious gemstones, prized not only for their healing value, but also for their rarity and beauty. This entrancing gemstone has a regal history. Both Greek and Roman royalty wore blue Sapphire to protect them from evil.
Sapphires and Rubies are related via a common mineral: Corundum. Sapphire inherits its precious blue color from traces of iron within the Corundum, while Ruby derives its deep red color from chromium elements within the stone.
Beautiful blue Sapphire, not surprisingly, is aligned with Water-Energy which soothes, cools, and calms the throat chakra. You will also feel its balancing and clarifying effect on your emotions, thoughts and communication. No matter what your current goals, this powerful, peaceful energy will help you embrace the flow of life and move forward with less effort and much joy.
Whether raw or cut, Sapphires are truly stunning gems.
