Happy Friday lovely Gem Steadies! I
would like to start by sending out a big happy birthday to Gem Steady Queen,
Brittany C! In honor of Brittany C’s Friday the 13th birthday, we
are going to examine the dazzling world of Sapphires, which happen to be the
September birthstone. The Sapphire’s blue hue possesses a striking resemblance
to the ocean’s depths and is just as luxurious as a bejeweled crown nestled
atop a fine silk pillow. One look at one of these lapis lovelies will leave you
memorized. Wrap a Sapphire around your finger and you will feel down right
royal.
The luxurious Sapphire has a history that certainly holds up to its
beauty. Kings and queens of ancient Rome and Greece adorned themselves in
Sapphires to ward off envy and harm. During Medieval times the Sapphire
fulfilled a similar purpose for the wealthy, giving its owner protection and
wisdom. Fast forward to slightly more recent times, when Prince Charles gifted
Diana Spencer with a marvelous Sapphire engagement ring, which she adored
according to reports. Now this is one seriously royal stone!
Nearly every well-established religion has held a special use for the
Sapphire, which is easily understood considering the stone can enhance faith
and sincerity. Buddhists saw the Sapphire as a source of spiritual
enlightenment, while Hindus used the beautiful blue gems in offerings to align
astrological influences. Christians made ecclesiastical rings with Sapphires,
because they symbolized chastity.
Luckily for everyone who is not royal or super devout, Sapphires are
still waiting to work magic on you too. Sapphire’s are little blue geniuses
that can provide their keeper with wisdom and serious book smarts, and even
just simple common sense. Slip on some Sapphire before making an important
decision and during exam week. Sapphire can be like X-ray glasses. It helps one
to see the underlying truth beneath a big messy pile of lies.
Our royal gem Sapphire is fabulous for the goal-oriented soul, as it
increases organizational skills and determination. Sapphire is almost like a
big breath of fresh air. It can clear the mind and can make the messiest of
situations an orderly one.
Getting engaged soon? Sapphire is a very romantic gem and it encourages
love and honesty, making it a wonderful choice for an engagement ring. Even if
you are not in love, chances are you could fall in love with Sapphire. Embrace
Sapphire as the marvelous, wise, focused stone it is and reap the benefits for
a lifetime.
