September Queen: YOUR birthstone — the heavenly Sapphire is an incredibly revered stone with its rich, deep, and blue sparkle. It has also been a feast for the eyes and the soul since the dawn of time!

It has been given a regal stature, and has been a symbol of divinity, wisdom and mental acuity throughout the ages too.

Its name is derived from the Latin ‘saphirus’ and the Greek ‘sappheiros’ meaning blue, and it’s this mermazing blue that symbolises the heavens and divine favour, and why Ancient Greeks wore Sapphires for guidance when seeking answers from the Oracle. Even Hindus used this precious gem during worship, and Buddhists believed it to bring spiritual enlightenment.

Sapphires are strongly attached to both the Third Eye and Throat Chakras to aid healing of headaches, earaches, vision problems, as well as help encourage inner strength, confidence and to speak clearly with the voice of inner wisdom. This stunner is also said to stimulate psychic abilities, activate your higher intelligence and to help you see the underlying truth below surface appearances.

Sapphires also make for a great alternative for engagement rings, as it’s second to Diamonds in durability, and ranks 9/10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.

What a MERMAZING birthstone to call your own!
