Sapphires are precious gemstones that belong to the corundum mineral family. They are typically known for their vibrant blue color, but they can also be found in a range of other colors, such as pink, yellow, green, and even colorless. The blue sapphire, however, is the most popular and sought-after variety.
The history of sapphires dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and Romans, believed that sapphires held special powers and considered them as symbols of wisdom, virtue, and holiness. In medieval times, sapphires were associated with royalty and were believed to protect their wearers from harm and envy.
During the Renaissance period, sapphires gained popularity among the clergy and nobility. They were often used in religious jewelry, such as crosses and rings, to symbolize purity and divine favor. The fascination with sapphires continued to grow, and they became a favorite gemstone among the European aristocracy.
Sapphires are known for their exceptional hardness, ranking 9 on the Mohs scale. This makes them one of the most durable gemstones, suitable for everyday wear. Their durability, combined with their captivating color, makes sapphires a popular choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry.
One interesting fact about sapphires is that they are not only found on Earth but also in outer space. Sapphires have been discovered in meteorites, adding to their mystique and allure.
