Mystical and Gemological Details:

Sapphire is the birthstone for September.

Sapphire is associated with royalty and abundance and is said to calm the mind, strengthen clarity and has also been used as a protective amulet.

Sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale- for example; a diamond is a 10, so this element of hardness makes sapphire a great stone for everyday wear.

“Corundum is the mineral species that includes both sapphire and ruby as varieties. Red corundum is known as ruby and all other colored corundum (including colorless, or white sapphire as it is known in the trade) is sapphire.”- Gemological Institute of America. So in summary; sapphires and rubies are of the same mineral species (corundum), but if it's red it’s ruby and all other colors are considered to be sapphire.

One of the most fascinating and rewarding aspects of gemology is the study of inclusions. - Inclusions are valuable clues to help discover and unravel the secrets of the gem's past. Inclusions serve as a hallmark to the process of these precious stones, they also speak to us in direct correlation to their place of formation.

Corundum (sapphire) is found in igneous rocks. Sapphires are formed during the transformation of igneous rocks. When those igneous "rocks" are cooling slowly, large crystal minerals can form from those that present within the magma. The more slowly the magma cools, the larger the sapphires will be. When sapphires are formed naturally, they "grow" in a hexagonal pattern. You may need a microscope (aka a gemologist's best friend) to see these magnificent characteristics.
