September Birthstone: Sapphire

Sapphires are members of the corundum family of minerals. They exist in nearly every color except red, because red corundum is always called ruby. Sapphires are one of the hardest natural material gem stones, second only to the diamond.



Sapphires are found in Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, China, Afghanistan, what was known as the Soviet Union, Australia and the United States of America.

Folklore, Legend, and Healing Properties

The mysticism and intense color of sapphires is what makes these gemstones so desirable. Aptly described as the gemstone of the heavens, these stones exude a heady blue hue. A popular ancient belief dating back to the biblical times mentions the earth being embedded in an enormous solitaire sapphire that gave the sky its blue color. Although the most popular and sought after color of sapphire happens to be blue, that ranges between seductive midnight blue to an enigmatic ocean blue, this resplendent stone comes in almost all other shades like yellow, orange, white, pink and purple.



Ancient kings wore sapphires to ward all evil and gain divine favors, the Greeks dedicated the stone to their Sky God - Zeus and priests sought help of these stones to decipher Oracles. The beautiful sapphire stands for truth, constancy, endurance and sincerity besides being associated with the Goddess of Love - Venus.



Dark blue sapphire will allow one to use their full creative potential. it is like a mother stone because it tends to your needs as your creative juices flow so that you do not become scattered about but remain grounded. It is also good for helping solve problems, sexual relationships because it tends to make deep bonding between people and creates loyalty.

August Birthstone: Peridot

Peridot is a mineral named Olivine, which is found in a variety of greens, ranging from light yellowish green to a dark olive. Early mining for this gem was done on Saint John's Island near Egypt around 1500 BC. The green crystal was considered protective against evil and when set in gold, especially helpful against night terrors. It was ground to powder and used as a remedy for asthma and as a cure for thirst brought on by fever. Today, Peridot is mined in Burma, Norway, Brazil, Australia, Hawaii, the Congo, and in Arizona.

Folklore, Legend, and Healing Properties

If fire appears to leap from the vibrant green surface of the Peridot, this may be because this gem is formed as a result of volcanic activity. Many years ago, natives discovered Peridot crystals in the black sands of Hawaii, explaining their presence as tears shed by Pele, the volcano goddess. Throughout history, August's birthstone has been used as a means to connect with nature. Early Egyptian priests drank a stimulating beverage called Soma from cups made of Peridot, believing this practice to draw them closer to Isis, the goddess of nature.
