Sapphire is a powerful stone of wisdom, intuition, and spiritual insight as it works with the Third eye and your Nirvana Chamber – the brain. It is often called the “Stone of Destiny”. It is used to enhance psychic abilities, communication, and mental clarity. Sapphire is a wonderful stone to hold during meditation to open and expand your senses. It is said to promote self-discipline, reduce stress, and aid in the manifestation of one’s goals. Sapphire is also believed to be a protective stone, shielding its wearer from negative energies and promoting emotional balance.
In ancient Persia, it was believed that the sky was blue because it reflected the color of Sapphire. In India, sapphire was known as the “stone of the sky” and was used in ritual and spiritual practices.
Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum, and it is composed of aluminum oxide. Sapphire is mostly found in shades of blue, but it can also occur in other colors such as yellow, pink, purple, green, and orange. It forms in metamorphic and igneous rocks and is often found in alluvial deposits. The blue color of Sapphire is due to the presence of iron and titanium in the crystal structure.
Sapphire works well with other stones that enhance its spiritual and intuitive properties, such as Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli. It can also be used in combination with grounding stones like Hematite or Black Tourmaline to help balance and integrate its powerful energy. When used in meditation or energy healing, Sapphire can be paired with other stones that promote mental clarity and communication, such as Fluorite or Aquamarine.
