Sapphire is one of my absolute favorite gemstones. I am intrigued both by its healing properties as well as its rich, deep color. It always speaks to me. So – sapphire is definitely my jam, and it make me a bit jealous of you September people!

Sapphire will help you to stay on your spiritual path and assist you in staying on task. This could be daily routine tasks or actions that require a lot of focus. During times of change, it will help you to create a clear vision of where you want to go and how to get there. Clearly, I should be wrapping myself in this stone on the daily to bring some clarity to the thoughts that for most of the time, run around with no structure in my head.
Sapphire will help you stay on your path and figure out where you need to go and how to get there.
Sapphire is also a symbol of integrity and was traditionally worn when treaties and deals were made back in the old historic days. Remember to wear or carry even a small piece of it when you are negotiating or signing contracts for yourself or on someone else’s behalf. It could be what makes the difference!
Wear sapphire to assist with a clear mindset during negotiations.
The sapphire is a very hard stone. It is second in hardness only to the diamond. Because of its unique durability, it is commonly used in some non-jewelry applications such as in bearings, wrist watch crystals and high durability windows.
Also, apart from its well-known blue color, the sapphire comes in a variety of other colors such as pink, green, orange, yellow and purple. The only color it doesn’t have is red. Sapphires comes from the mineral corundum and red corundum is called ruby. So sapphires and rubies are cousins!
Sapphire comes in various colors – except red. If red – you’re looking at a ruby!
Now, enjoy the rest of the month of September. If you are in the north east US like I am, you might be looking forward to fall and its crisp air, spectacular colors and cozy evenings at home with a good book and a cup of chai tea.

Love, love,
