Blue Sapphire

The term sapphire comes from the Latin word "Sapphirus" which is itself derived from the Greek word "sappheiros" meaning "blue".

It is also thought that the word sapphire originates from the Hebrew "sappir" which means "noble stone" or the Sanskrit sanipriya.

This lexeme is used to express that a gem takes on a dark color: sacred to Saturn.

This meaning is demonstrated when referring to Indian astrology where the sapphire is allocated to Saturn.

Sri Lanka is the country where the deposit of September birth gems is the oldest.

The sapphires of Sri Lanka are among the countless precious stones and gifts offered by King Solomon to the Queen of Sheba to flatter her.

There are sapphire gems in almost all colors: white sapphire, yellow sapphire, pink sapphire, green, purple, etc. But, it is the blue sapphire that is the birthstone of September.
