September's "Gems of the Month"
The sky is just a gigantic blue Sapphire stone into which the earth is embedded ~ this belief was cherished in ancient times and is to this day a constant vision of September's birthstone. This splendid gemstone, however, also comes in many other colors, not only in the transparent grayish misty blue of far horizons, but also displaying the bright fireworks of sunset colors - yellow, pink, orange and purple.
Blue is Sapphire's main and most recognized color and it is also the favorite color of about 50% of the total population of men and women alike. The Sapphire is second in hardness only to the diamond and diamonds of course represent the hardest mineral on Earth.
Because of their good hardness, Sapphires are easy to care for as gemstones and demand from their wearers only the usual and normal care. Today Sapphire is mined in Australia, Sir Lanka and Thailand.
