Blue sapphire is a precious gemstone known for its deep, rich blue color, which can range from light to dark shades. It's a variety of the mineral corundum, composed of aluminum oxide with trace elements like iron and titanium, which give it its distinctive color. Sapphires are second only to diamonds in hardness, making them durable and highly prized in jewelry.

Here are some key facts about blue sapphires:

Symbolism: Blue sapphires are often associated with wisdom, royalty, and divine favor. They are believed to bring protection, good fortune, and spiritual insight.

Origin: The most famous blue sapphires come from locations like Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar (Burma), Madagascar, and Kashmir. The Kashmir sapphires are considered some of the finest and rarest in the world.

Uses in Jewelry: Sapphires are commonly used in rings, necklaces, earrings, and other forms of jewelry. They are also the birthstone for September.

Treatments: Many blue sapphires are heat-treated to enhance their color and clarity. Untreated sapphires are rarer and more valuable.
