Sapphire
Sapphire is the birthstone of September.
Persians believed the earth rested on a giant sapphire, the sky reflecting its color. Thusly sapphire became known as the gem of the heavens. The Greeks associated sapphire with Apollo, god of music, prophecy, and medicine. And they wore it when consulting the oracles. Toward the end of the middle ages sapphire was used as protection against harm and to protect the owner’s honor and reputation.
