History & Lore:
The name Corundum is believed to originate from either the Indian word kauruntaka, or the Sanskrit word kurivinda. Sapphire, the name for this particular type of Corundum is taken from the Latin word sapphirus, meaning “blue”.
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 has been the pre-eminent blue gemstone for centuries since.
Sapphire is a powerful stone that can take negative emotions and feelings and transform them into peace, love and joy. Sapphire is a very helpful gemstone, often used to treat skin and eye disorders, and to ward off infection. In addition, 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 among 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 subconscious mind, as well as being a gemstone said to attract divine favor.
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, white and yellow. The one color that Sapphire is not is red. Red Corundum is what we know as Ruby. In addition to the single colors, the most valuable natural Sapphires are those that exhibit pure blue colors. The purer the blue color, the more valuable the Sapphire becomes. When buying Sapphires, color, clarity and size are the main considerations and those with the most effect upon overall worth.
Main sources of Sapphire today 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). Sapphires from India and Myanmar (Burma) are highly prized for their pure blue colors.
