About Sapphire: Although sapphire means
blue in Latin, sapphires can be found in a
rainbow of colors. Kings once believed these
stones offered protection form harm and envy. Sapphires are calm and relaxing. Until the discovery
of extraordinary stones in Kashmir in 1880, Sri Lanka (formerly known as
Ceylon) was the standard bearer of sapphire.
The Kashmir supply was essentially exhausted by 1930, leaving
Sri Lanka as the location of the world's most
beautiful sapphires. Sapphires are also mined in Madagascar, Australia and Thailand. Sapphires come
other colors such as red, orange,
yellow, green,
blue, purple and
pink. Colors other than blue are referred to
as "rainbow sapphires" or "fancy sapphires".
Sapphire is the traditional gift for the fifth and forty-fifth wedding anniversaries and the
birthstone for September.
