  September’s birthstone, Sapphire’s name comes from the term ‘dear to Saturn’ (Saturn is the Roman god of agriculture and in astrology symbolizes karma- the taskmaster planet). In ancient times, the Greeks wore it for wisdom- especially when visiting the Oracle of Delphi. If one wishes to cultivate wisdom and insight, wear a sapphire- associated with the third eye. Sapphires are connected to the throat chakra, cleansing and strengthening communication. Star sapphires have intersecting needle-like inclusions that cause a six-rayed star to appear, a visual effect known as an asterism. Adding a sapphire stone to one’s jewelry is believed to facilitate a silent, powerful sense of personal truth- transmuting negative thoughts, manifesting ideas and accomplishing goals. If drawn to a sapphire, wear one to feel its guidance and protection.
