About
Sapphires have few rivals in the world of gemstones. They belong to the corundum group of minerals, classified as a 9 on the Mohs scale: only diamonds are harder than sapphires. While this gem is largely cherished for its beauty today, it was often used in the making of axes and other sharp tools in China as early as 4000 BCE. Perhaps this durability has lead many to attach the sapphire to attributes such as truth, faithfulness, and permanence.
Blue sapphires can be found in as many shades of blue that grace the sky, from the near-black of a moonless night, to the smoky pale blue of the horizon on a summer day. In fact, the ancient Persians believed that the earth rested on a giant blue sapphire, its brilliant color reflecting up into the sky.
