Traditionally this birthstone is associated with the month of September. It’s the anniversary gemstone for the 5th and 45th year of marriage. Sapphire is a member of the corundum family and gets its name from the Latin sapphirus and the Greek sappheiros (blue). It gets its color from titanium and iron oxides. The depth of the color comes from the amount of oxides present. Though not meant to replace traditional medical treatment, Sapphire is used for clear thinking.
Kings used to wear sapphire around their necks as a powerful defense against harm. The stone preserved the
wearer from envy and attracted divine favor.
