September Birthstone and Birth Flower Guide: Sapphire and Aster

Hey there, September babies and gemstone enthusiasts!  Can you believe it's September already? Well, as the leaves start turning, we're thrilled to turn the spotlight on two fascinating subjects this month: the captivating sapphire and the enchanting aster flower! If you've been following us, you know we've dished out the deets on sapphires before. But this time, we're doubling the fun with the mesmerizing qualities of Aster too! Let’s get this sparkling show on the road!

What Is A Sapphire?


Before we whisk you away into the world of Asters, let's take a quick detour to remember the iconic sapphire! Known for its mesmerizing hues, sapphires are members of the grand corundum family. Rocking a 9 on the Mohs scale, these gems are almost as tough as diamonds!
Did you know that sapphires come in a rainbow of colors? This is all thanks to trace elements like magnesium, chromium, and titanium!

Sapphire Meaning & Symbolism


Hold onto your hats because not only are sapphires just pretty, they are also packed with significance! Often known as “The Wisdom Stone” or “ The Stone of Prosperity”, this gem has a vibrant history and symbolism. With its roots in the Latin word “saphirus” and the Greek word “sapheiros”, both translating to “blue”, the sapphire is more than just eye candy; it’s a catalyst for positivity and achieving your goals!   

The September Starflower: What Is An Aster?


Alright, it’s Aster’s moment to shine! These striking star-shaped flowers are part of the Asteraceae family, which also includes your summertime favorites: daisies and sunflowers. That’s not all though, asters come in a colorful array of shades! 
These gorgeous hues include such as pink, blue, red, white and purple, and each color represents something different. Red symbolizes devotion, white represents purity and purple is all about spirituality. The color that they all have in common is yellow as it is the center of each flower!

Aster Meaning & Symbolism


Ever wonder why asters are so special? It’s not just their star-like shape; it’s the symbolism that they carry! With Greek roots meaning “star”, asters can be considered little cosmic messengers in their own right. Why’s that? Their zodiac sign is Capricorn, and they are known to be associated with the wonder and enchantment of the stars! These beauties are symbols of love, wisdom and patience, making them the perfect tokens for good fortune and admiration.
