Sapphire – a kind of mineral corundum, which in turn can have many shades (only bright red corundum is called ruby). Therefore, most often we can see this stone as a transparent gem of a bright blue color. However, they can be pink, yellow, green, red-orange, violet and colorless. For example, the sapphires of the Urals and the USA are gray-blue, and Australian and African stones have dichroism: along the elongation of the crystals they are dark blue, and across the green.
Sapphire is a mascot-gemstone of the 22 lunar day, the period of rest, the knowledge of oneself and the introduction of light into all spheres of life. This means that the sapphire obtains the greatest strength on day 7 after the Full Moon, and all rituals with it will be more effective at this time.
