About Sapphire
Sapphire is the mineral corundum, best known in blue (from greenish blue to violetish blue) but found in every colour except red. Sapphires in other colours, such as pink, yellow, green and purple, are called 'fancy' sapphires.
- Birthstone
- September
- Hardness
- 9 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Sapphire is very hard with excellent toughness and no cleavage, so it resists breaking and suits rings worn every day.
- Care
- Warm, soapy water is always safe. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning are usually fine for untreated or heat-treated sapphire, but fracture-filled, cavity-filled or dyed stones should only be wiped with a damp cloth.
- Meaning and tradition
- Traditionally, sapphire symbolises nobility, truth, sincerity and faithfulness, and it has adorned the robes of royalty and clergy for centuries. In folklore, star sapphires were linked with the power to foresee the future.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
