The Sapphire is a form of mineral corundum and is related to the gemstone ruby. Sapphires are usually blue and range from the prettiest deep indigo to almost black. The difference is all other colors of corundum except ruby are called sapphires. It was believed that Sapphire was used to help protect the body from snakes and lust! It is said to help clear confusion and help soften thoughts of hate and anger making for a person more peaceful. When the Sapphire jewelry is enhanced with diamonds or other deep toned gems, it really is one of the most wonderful and prettiest gemstones.
