The story: Sapphire, the stone of the September natives, takes its name from the Latin “sapphirus” and the Greek “sappheiros,” which probably referred to lapis lazuli, another blue stone known in ancient times. The modern understanding of sapphire as the blue variety of the mineral corundum developed later. Sapphires have been prized throughout history for their bright blue color, symbolizing wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. In ancient Persia, it was believed that the earth rested on a gigantic sapphire, which reflected its color to the sky. Sapphires adorned the robes of clergy and royalty, cementing their association with divine favor and nobility.
