SAPPHIRE
Sapphire is a precious gemstone, a variety of corundum, renowned primarily for its deep blue color, although it can occur in various hues, including pink, yellow, and green. Ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, sapphire is the second hardest natural mineral after diamond, making it highly durable and suitable for jewelry. Traditionally associated with wisdom, loyalty, and nobility, sapphire is the birthstone for September. Its formation occurs under high pressure and temperature, often found in regions like Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Madagascar. Sapphires are also believed to promote effective communication and emotional balance, enhancing the wearer's clarity of thought and inner peace.
