The birth stone for September is the sapphire.
Named after the Greek word "sapphirus", meaning blue, Sapphires have long been a favorite among priests and kings, who considered them symbolic of wisdom and purity.
Persians believed the earth rested on an enormous sapphire, which created the blue of the sky with its reflection.
In ancient times, Sapphires were thought to be protective against envy, and even against poisoning.
