September’s birthstone, Sapphire is the symbol of truth, sincerity and faithfulness. The world’s finest Sapphires come from the Kashmir district of India. Sapphire is ruby’s sister stone. It’s actually the same mineral – corundum. Red corundum is called ruby and all other colors are called sapphire. And sapphire does come in many colors. A rich, velvety blue is the most popular, but sapphire may also be pink, orange, yellow, violet, green, brown, colorless or black. Blue sapphire is especially fashionable because its color complements just about any outfit. Sapphire may be faceted or dome-shaped. A luminous star may be seen in stones whose internal structure is just right.
