Sapphire necklace 3 mm faceted - 925 silver

Sapphire is showcased in this gemstone necklace as a finely faceted 3 mm bead strand in rich cornflower blue to dark indigo blue. The faceting captures the light vividly, giving the necklace a refined, timeless depth. Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum (Al₂O₃) and includes all colors of this gemstone group except red – the red variety is known as ruby. The blue color is caused by titanium and iron impurities in the crystal lattice; depending on the composition, it ranges from a delicate light blue to the coveted cornflower blue. Mohs hardness: 9 – one of the hardest minerals after diamond. It crystallizes in the trigonal system. Its name comes from the Greek "sappheiros" (blue). Deposits: Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar, Kashmir, Madagascar, Australia, Thailand.

Significance in Crystal Healing

In crystal healing, sapphire is considered a stone of inner clarity, calm, and mental strength – Hildegard von Bingen described its effects on the nerves and restlessness. It is said to strengthen the nerves, promote concentration, and soothe stress and inner tension. It is associated with the brow and throat chakras. These attributions are based on traditional lore and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
