Gemstone Information - Sapphire
The Greeks identified the sapphire with Apollo, and the
stone was worn when consulting oracles such as the famous one at Delphi.
The stone is worn to stimulate the third eye for the purpose
of expanding psychic awareness. The ancient Greek practice mentioned
above seems to indicate that even they were aware of the sapphire's
ability to tap the subconscious mind.
Sapphire is a guardian of love. That is, it promotes fidelity
and attunes the feelings between lovers. It was also worn to banish
envy, to promote positive social interaction and to reconcile with foes:
sapphire can be used for all those purposes within any kind of relationship,
not just marital.
Sapphire is a soothing deep blue hue. It is worn during
meditation or contemplated upon to expanded wisdom. When you wear it,
the stone promotes peace. the author of the pseudo-Albert us Manus manuscripts
of the late 1300's stated that this stone, worn, cools the " inward
heat," or anger.
Sapphire is also utilized in healing the body, especially
the eyes which are strengthened by its presence. It also reduces fevers
and, when pressed to the forehead, halts bleeding from the nose.
