Sapphire is one of the "kings" of colored gemstones, standing alongside diamonds, emeralds, and rubies as one of the four most precious gems. It can fetch millions at auctions. Aside from its stunning midnight blue brilliance, sapphire boasts a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamonds, making it highly durable. Throughout history, sapphire has been revered as a symbol of divinity and wisdom, beloved by royalty. It’s said that King Solomon and Abraham both wore sapphire amulets, the laws given to Moses were inscribed on sapphire tablets, and the Greeks wore sapphires when seeking oracles at the Temple of Apollo. Even Princess Diana's famous engagement ring featured a sapphire.
In mineralogy, sapphire's official name is "blue corundum," part of the corundum family along with ruby. Sapphire's blue hue comes from iron. Spiritually, sapphire is the most iconic blue gemstone, with the following benefits:
💎Truth, Wisdom, Insight
Sapphire is a gemstone that enhances wisdom. It helps you see the truth, sharpens judgment, critical thinking, and the ability to distinguish right from wrong. It allows you to see with clarity, providing the wisdom to make better decisions.
💎Calm, Clarity, Focus
Sapphire dispels anxiety and chaotic thoughts, bringing peace and clarity of mind, helping you return to inner serenity.
💎Loyalty to Self, Clear Expression
Sapphire assists in seeing the truth, fostering calm reflection, and expressing oneself with authenticity and fearlessness. It enables more sincere and elevated communication in relationships, helping you stay true to yourself without being easily swayed by others.
💎Loyalty, Discipline, Integrity, Justice
For those who struggle with morality or easily stray from the path, sapphire acts as a moral compass. Traditionally, it is seen as a symbol of all things "right"—promoting integrity in morals, justice in law, devotion in religion, discipline at work, and fidelity in love. While it may not help you find romance, sapphire supports deeper commitments like engagements, cohabitation, or even having children. It is also highly recommended to wear sapphire during negotiations or contract signings for a boost of integrity and fairness.
💎Healing the Throat and Third Eye Chakras
Sapphire is known to heal both the throat and third eye chakras. The throat chakra governs external communication, allowing the energy from other chakras to flow smoothly outward. The third eye chakra enhances insight, clear thinking, and broadens your vision, helping you see the bigger picture.
While sapphire is a valuable gemstone, the good news is that in its raw form, it is quite accessible. You don’t need to break the bank to enjoy the healing benefits of this king of blue stones.
