September - Sapphire
Sapphire can be found in many different colours including pink, green, purple and peach tones.
Sapphire is now the accepted birthstone for September but until recent years, in some countries the Chrysolite and Topaz was favoured. It is the gem of Libra (The Scales) September 23rd to October 22nd.
The Guardian Angel for September is Tsuriel whose talismanic gem is Jacinth.
The Special Aspostle is Lebbeus Thaddeus.
The flower is the Hop or the Aster.
Lucky charms ascribed to this month are the Monkey, Cat, Spider, Parrot, Fox and Book.
The Sapphire has always been considered a symbol of truth and affection and possibly due to it?s extreme coldness, it was held in high esteem for increasing and preserving the chastity of the wearer.
It is not generally known that Sapphires may be found in all shades of colour from very deep blue through green, brown and yellow, to quite colourless stones, but the beautiful soft Cornflower-blue, is generally accepted as the most valuable and choicest colour.
It is surprising that the Star Sapphire is not credited with more symbolic influence apart from it?s virtues as a love charm and being in general very lucky. It is however, the one stone which is said to exercise it?s good influence over it?s first wearer, even after it has passed into other hands. They are a greyish blue colour, displaying a beautiful white star of six points.
Brown-eyed women are rather restricted where their special jewel colours are concerned but fair haired and blue-eyed women have a wider choice and Sapphire are very kind to this type.
Like the July Ruby, synthetic stones are very common and suspected stones should be submitted to a laboratory test.
The term ?Ceylon? Sapphire is used for pale stones and ?Kashmir? Sapphire represent the finest quality stones while the prefix ?Australian? is used for very dark and inferior gems. Montana Sapphire are those from the new mine in U.S.A.
The Topaz, used as an alternative in earlier times, is the birthstone for November, and the Chrysolite is another name for Peridot, which is the alternative stone for August.
The Jacinth of the Guardian Angel Tsuriel is an old misleading name given to several red stone and is now no longer used.
