Sapphire Description - Mahak Gems

Sapphire Metaphysical Properties

From antiquity, gemstones have been thought to possess mysterious powers. Sapphire is known as the wisdom stone, believed to stimulate concentration, enhance creativity, and promote purity and depth of thought.

Sapphire is thought to calm and focus the mind, removing unwanted thoughts, depression, and mental tension. As the stone of new love and commitment, it is claimed to encourage faithfulness and loyalty. Sapphire is also believed to bring peace of mind, serenity, and prosperity.

Due to its blue color, sapphire is often associated with the throat and brow chakras, which, when imbalanced, are believed to cause issues such as sore throats, headaches, and nightmares.

Sapphire Geological Properties

Sapphires and rubies are both part of the corundum family, with the blue color of sapphires coming from iron impurities, while rubies owe their red hue to chromium. As one of the hardest gemstones, second only to diamonds, sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale.

Sapphires come in a variety of colors, from blue to yellow, green, and even orange-pink. Colorless sapphires are sometimes used as diamond substitutes. The gemstones are mined from alluvial or weathering deposits in regions like the United States, Australia, China, Thailand, India, Kenya, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka.

Proper Care of Sapphire

With excellent toughness, sapphire can withstand a variety of cleaning methods. Clean sapphire stones using warm soapy water and a soft brush, rinsing well after washing. Ultrasonic treatment and steam cleaning are safe for sapphire, but boiling is not recommended.

While tough, sapphire can scratch other gemstones or metals and can be scratched by diamonds. Store sapphires carefully to avoid damage.

Normal sapphire gemstones can be safely fired in a kiln, but star sapphires should not be exposed to extreme heat, as it could cause them to disintegrate.
