Sapphire
Sapphire is one of the classical precious stones along with diamond, emerald and ruby. All other stones are semi-precious stones.
Sapphire has been highly prized since time immemorial. Along with rubies and emeralds, it is one of the gems used to adorn royalty and crowns. Sapphire is also associated with royalty today - Prince William gave his bride Kate Middleton an engagement ring with a famous sapphire that had belonged to his mother.

Sapphire symbolizes good fortune, virtue, wisdom, sanctity and protection against enemies. It is prized as a stone of wisdom.

By bringing peace of mind and mental clarity, sapphire aligns the physical, mental and spiritual level and restores balance in your being. The powerful crystal releases you from depression and mental confusion and stimulates concentration. It also relieves frustration and lightens self-expression, brings prosperity and attracts all types of talent.
Blue sapphire is a stone of spiritual search for truth that is traditionally also associated with purity and love. The calming crystal helps one stay on your spiritual track, keep your eyes on the prize, grow peace of mind, find spiritual truth and unconditional love.
