SAPPHIRE PROPERTIES & ATTRIBUTES

Origins: Sapphire is a precious gemstone variety of the mineral corundum, most famously known for its deep, celestial blue hues, though it occurs in every colour except red (which is classified as ruby). Its iconic blue color is typically caused by traces of iron and titanium. Sapphires form in a range of geological environments and are found in various locations worldwide, including Kashmir, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Australia. They are renowned for their exceptional hardness, brilliant luster, and durability.

A stone of wisdom and divine favour, Sapphire has been revered by kings, priests, and mystics for centuries as a talisman of truth, protection, and spiritual insight. It is known to open the mind to beauty and intuition, bringing clarity of thought and sharpening psychic awareness. Sapphire is a powerful stone for manifestation, helping to align one's will with divine purpose to attract positive outcomes and spiritual gifts. It provides strong protection against negative energies and psychic attack, creating a shield of light around the wearer. By stimulating the Third Eye and Throat Chakras, it enhances communication with higher realms, aids in accessing past life wisdom, and promotes self-discipline and focused intention. Its energy encourages honesty, loyalty, and fidelity, making it a stone of commitment and integrity.
