Sapphire

September’s birthstone is said to represent romance, loyalty, and high society. The word ‘sapphire’ comes from the Latin ‘sapphirus’ which means blue. It has language roots in Ancient Greek and the Middle East as well. In addition, Sapphires hold legends of being able to protect their wearers from snakes and evil creatures. Some people even believed sapphires themselves could kill snakes and spiders with their gemstone-derived powers. Sapphires are often made in labs, but not always. In nature, sapphires come from all over the world, primarily Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Australia, India, the United States, and Myanmar. In addition to being the September birthstone, sapphire is also the gem commemorating the 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries.
