SEPTEMBER BIRTH STONE- THE SAPPHIRE

Gemstones, which are associated with the date of an individual’s birth and the wearing of which is considered to bring good luck and health are called Birthstones. Blue Sapphire is the birthstone for September and also of Virgo, the sixth zodiac sign. It is also considered to be the anniversary gem, for the 5th and the 45th years of marriage. Sapphires belong to the corundum family of minerals.

Sapphire is chemically and structurally the same as Ruby - both are varieties of the mineral corundum. They exist in nearly every color except red, because red corundum is always called ruby. But the most prized color of Sapphire is a rich, deep blue. Sapphires are found today in Sri Lanka, Kashmir, Myanmar, Thailand, Australia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, China, Madagascar, and the United States.

The heavenly blue color of sapphires is symbolic of a joyful devotion to God. According to a legend the Ten Commandments were inscribed upon tablets made of sapphire, giving this birthstone a royal place among gemstones. The significant properties of sapphire are trust, loyalty, wisdom, faith, and understanding.

The Sapphire is second only to the Diamond in hardness, making it extremely durable gemstone for setting into jewelry. It is one of the four precious gemstones, the other three being diamonds, rubies, and emeralds.

Sapphire is associated with truth, sincerity, constancy, fidelity, loyalty and faithfulness because of these reasons sapphires are second only to diamonds in their popularity in engagement rings, signifying long term relationships.

The September birthstone is believed to be effective in healing health problems relating to lowering fevers and inflammation, hearing problems, cancer and burns. It is also used to enhance the influences of Venus and banish evil thoughts. Sapphire is also said to inspire clarity of thoughts and improve problem solving capacity.

Puppy and Proposal Story!

My boyfriend and I were staying together since 6 months and our relationship started 2 years ago. After these 2 years of relationship I was expecting his proposal anytime, but I was loosing all hopes as days passed by.

Image Source: http://blog.newsok.com/fashionmatters/files/2009/01/naifehpropose.jpg

One fine day, while Danny was away from home, the door bell rang. When I opened the door, there I found a cute and innocent looking pug puppy sitting in a basket. I guessed that this might be a surprise from Danny since I had always wished for a pet dog and had constantly admired pugs.

But there was a bigger surprise from my sweetheart. The puppy had a ribbon hanging on his neck with a diamond ring attached to it. When I looked up, Danny was standing with a sweet smile on his face. He then removed the ring from the ribbon and knelt on the floor and said, “Will you be my mate for the rest of my life?” I kept the puppy on the chair beside us and hugged him and accepted his proposal with a kiss.
