Brief Summary of the September Birthstone - Sapphire
Sapphire bears
semblance with the July birthstone Ruby as both the gemstones are varieties of
the crystallized mineral, corundum. Ruby is the red variety, while sapphire is
the blue corundum. Though deep blue sapphire is the formal September
birthstone, sapphire is found in various rainbow colors ranging from glistening
golden brown, fiery yellowish red to deep velvety indigo. The name 'Sapphire'
comes from the Greek word sappheiros and
has beautified the robes and crowns of the royalty and the elite since ancient
medieval times.
Noble and grand in
its appearance, this heavenly birthstone is associated with virtues of
sincerity, faithfulness, and truth. Sapphire-laden jewelry is a stunning
marvel, and those born in September should feel privileged to reckon it as
their birthstone. The beautiful gemstone is also the traditional gift for the
5th and 45th wedding anniversaries. Precious sapphires are found in Asian and
African geographies like Kashmir, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, and some parts
of the United States of America and Australia.
