Origin
Known as The Wisdom Stone and The Stone Of Prosperity, the sapphire has been coveted by the powerful, rich, and famous for centuries. In fact, the stone has been one of the most prized gemstones since 800 BC! In ancient times, royalty wore blue sapphires because they believed the stone could protect owners from the evil intentions of their enemies.
Interesting fact: did you know the name sapphire derives from the Latin word “saphirus” and the Greek word “sapheiros” - both meaning blue? According to others, the sapphire name stems from its association with the planet Saturn.
The durable sapphire belongs in the corundum mineral family, which also happens to be the same family as rubies. The sapphire gem contains trace elements like magnesium, chromium, titanium, copper, and iron. These elements give the naturally colorless corundum its hints of orange, green, yellow, purple, or blue.
