History
& Lore:
White Sapphire is a Corundum. The
name Corundum is believed to originate from either the Indian word
kauruntaka, or the Sanskrit word kurivinda.
Ancient
Persians believed the Earth actually rested on an enormous Sapphire and the
reflection from this Sapphire was what gave the sky its blue coloration.
Sapphire
is a powerful stone, taking negative emotions and feelings and transforming
them into peace, love and joy. Sapphire is often used to treat skin and eye
disorders, and to ward off infection. Additionally, it has long been regarded
as a symbol of constancy and sincerity. It bestows innocence, truth and good
health, and has traditionally been a popular choice by Royalty, often having
been used in Engagement Rings as an alternative to Diamonds.
Sapphire
aids the wearer with opening the third-eye chakra, and is an aid to getting
inside the sub-conscious mind, as well as being a gemstone said to attract
divine favor.
Main sources of Sapphire are Africa, Australia, Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Thailand and the United States (Montana, North Carolina), there are also known Sapphire deposits in Brazil, Cambodia, India, Madagascar, Tanzania and Vietnam. The highest quality and most desirable Sapphires are those that originate in India, Myanmar (Burma), and Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
When thinking of Sapphire, most people immediately think of, and prefer, a blue gemstone. Sapphire is however actually much more than just a blue gem and is found in various colors including, black, blues, browns, colorless, pink, orange, peach, purple, violet, yellow and white. White Sapphires, or more appropriately named Colorless Sapphire, make an excellent diamond substitute as it is an extremely brilliant gemstone and second only to Diamond in hardness. When buying White Sapphires, brilliance, clarity, and size are the main considerations.
