-Sapphires are famously known as blue gemstones, which is why they are often related to the Heavens. This gave it the nickname, “the divine stone” in some cultures. In Christianity, a Sapphire is seen as the gemstone of purity, wisdom and chastity. Whereas in India and areas of South East Asia, it is seen as one of the nine specific gems that represent the Heavens. In this, the yellow Sapphire represents Jupiter and the blue Sapphire represents Saturn. Due to this, the name Sapphire was said to mean “Dear to the planet Saturn” but also “blue stone”.
+Sapphires are widely recognized as blue gemstones, which is why they are frequently associated with the celestial realm. This bestowed upon them the moniker "the divine stone" in certain cultures. In India and parts of Southeast Asia, they are considered as one of the nine specific gems symbolizing celestial entities. In this context, yellow sapphires represent Jupiter, while blue sapphires represent Saturn. As a result, the term "sapphire" was said to signify "Beloved by Saturn" and also "azure gem". Conversely, in Judaism and Christianity, sapphires are regarded as gems embodying purity, wisdom, and chastity.
-Sapphire is the birthstone for the month of September and is mostly known as the wisdom stone. It is meant to represent intelligence, education and the ability to make wise and good choices. The Sapphire was seen this way even back in the Ancient times because the Ancient Greeks used to wear this stone to attain Wisdom. The stone was sometimes used in medicine in Ancient Persia. It was believed to strengthen your heart, muscles and give you courage. However, others said it was an anecdote for poison and could kill snakes instantly. Around this time, Sapphires were used for several reasons, the most important being to protect against sorcery and banish away evil spirits. It was thought that it connected you to the universe and would protect from bad but open you up to good spirits and angels.
