What are the myths and significance of adding sapphire in your jewelry?

 

The September birthdays and those born under the Taurus zodiac sign both have sapphire as their official birthstone. Unlike other corundum varieties, the sapphire gemstone is not red (the red variety of corundum is ruby). Sapphire is one of the four most sought-after precious stones. Many people put their faith in the prosperity promised by these astrological gems. Because of these myths, many people try to keep a sapphire jewelry piece or ornament in their homes at all times. In spite of its rarity, this gem has been the subject of numerous myths.

 

Sapphire history and myths

The British Royal Family has a long history of wearing sapphire jewelry. One of the Crown Jewels' gemstones is sapphire. The Ceylon Sapphire used in Princess Catherine's engagement ring was originally used on Princess Diana. During his travels in 1676, Jean-Baptiste Tavernier wrote a brilliant account of how the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan adorned the renowned Peacock Throne with sapphires.

Famous Orientalist Sir Richard Francis Burton owned a large star sapphire he called his "talisman" because it always brought him fine horses and timely attention. This is just one more example of how important sapphires have been throughout history. He showed the stone to everyone he met because he believed it would bring him luck. The Museum of Natural History in New York is home to the 'Star of India,' a sapphire weighing in at 563 carats. Among other virtues, sapphires are said to stand for loyalty, modesty, and chastity.

 

Myths about sapphires

Sapphires have been around for a long time, making them one of the oldest precious stones possessed by humans. For as long as anyone can remember, sapphire has been a symbol of respect, honesty, sincerity, and loyalty. The significance of sapphires has been widely extended across cultural contexts. Although sapphire gemstone is one of the most beautiful gemstones, many urban legends surround it. Incorrect beliefs are listed below:

 

Summons Spirits

In addition to its widespread use in astrology, sapphire is a popular gemstone due to a number of myths and superstitions surrounding witchcraft and the afterlife. It is said that by using the "third eye," sapphire can make cryptic oracular statements audible and understandable. Because of this belief that sapphires provided a window to the "third eye," they were widely used by witches and necromancers.

 

Blue sapphire myths

Although blue sapphires are the most common, this is not the only color they come in. Colors other than blue, yellow, and pink can be found in sapphires. Sapphires can shift colors due to trace impurities. Examples of these elements can be found in blue sapphire, which also contains titanium and iron. The intense blue color of sapphire is achieved by irradiating colorless or light blue sapphires at high temperatures. Purple sapphires can be attributed to vanadium. The presence of iron causes yellow sapphires, while density variations produce green sapphires.

 

Brittle

It is a common myth that Sapphire is not as durable as other materials, but this is not the case. However, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire ranks as the second hardest natural mineral. It takes a diamond to scratch a sapphire, and only a diamond will do. Gemstones are popular for use in rings and other jewelry due to their long lifespan and high durability.

 

Cures the illness of people

A lot of people think that if you just rub a sapphire on your body, it will make you healthy again. Many of them put their faith in the healing powers of this precious stone, believing it can ward off everything from skin ailments to the bubonic plague and even eye problems.

Others, however, believe that sapphire will bring the wearer nothing but bad luck if it isn't the right color or cut for him. The myths about sapphires haven't dampened people's desire to own one.
