In September, wear a sapphire!
Wear a sapphire in September! Every month, as you know, has one (or more) precious gems considered lucky charms. In September, a time of year between clear skies and the last warmth, the ultimate precious stone is the sapphire.
With an intense blue color, it takes us a bit among the waves of the summer sea, for a less painful transition back to everyday work life.
Let's discover some curiosities together!
Sapphire, precious gem
Sapphire is a corundum with a fascinating blue color given by inclusions of hematite and rutile. Sometimes it can be black or yellow, although its most known and appreciated variety is undoubtedly the blue one.
Sapphire is chemically composed of aluminum oxide. The name comes from the Greek sappheiros, meaning "blue," but it could also originate from the Hebrew sappir, which means "the most beautiful thing."
The largest sapphire deposits are in Australia, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Madagascar, and India. Even in our Italy, small crystals can be found at Terminillo.
The properties
According to Crystal Therapy, sapphire is a stone capable of protecting the wearer. Since ancient times, it was indeed regarded as a talisman guarding purity, but also as a bearer of mental well-being. Its intense color represents inner self, spirituality, wisdom, and promotes intuition and self-knowledge.
Jewelry and watches
Sapphire, because of its special color, pairs well with any metal, appearing cooler or warmer depending on the combination with silver and white gold, or with yellow gold.
Often, however, sapphire is also used to create watch crystals. The Italian brand Locman, for example, often makes scratch-resistant mineral glass dials with sapphire treatment.
In September, wear a sapphire!
In short: sapphire is truly a fascinating precious stone, chemically very hard, but above all of the highest spiritual value.
Perfect to accompany us into autumn, with greater self-awareness.
