September's birthstone is Sapphire (also known as jade). Although most commonly known as blue, Sapphire actually comes in all colors, including colorless, with the exception of red.

Sapphire can protect the wearer from physical harm as well as bad intentions and jealousy. In the Middle Ages, Christian priests wore these blue gems on their bodies and considered them symbols of heaven. For many gemstone enthusiasts, Sapphires also symbolize wisdom, purity, and faith.

Sapphire is very durable and is a great gemstone for everyday wear jewelry. Typically, transparent blue stones or blue stones with very little green or purple tinge are considered the most valuable. You can also choose other colored stones, such as pink, purple, orange, green, and yellow, as well as colorless Sapphire.
