蓝宝石的文化意义

Sapphire is regarded as auspicious by the ancient people's mysterious supernatural color with its crystal clear and beautiful color. As early as in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and ancient Rome, it was used to decorate mosques, churches and monasteries, and as a tribute to religious ceremonies. It has also become an indispensable accessory in the crown of the British Empire, the Crown of the Russian Tsar and the dress with diamonds and pearls. Since the gemstones entered the folklore in the past 100 years, sapphire has been among the top five precious stones in the world, and it is a jewel variety that people cherish.

For many centuries, Indians have believed that colorless sapphires are undeveloped. Burmese gem miners believe that if the dark color of the ruby ​​is buried underground, it will eventually turn bright red, and that ruby ​​is the most mature member of the corundum. Sri Lankan miners believe that gemstones are too ripe. Garciada Drta, who lived in India from 1534-1570, believed that the color of ruby ​​deepened with maturity. Jan Huyghen Von Linschoten, who had been to India in 1582-1593, wrote: "The reason is that the stones in the rocks are originally white. Over time, by the power of the sun, they gradually mature and become a ruby. If it reaches perfect maturity before it reaches perfect maturity Just dig it out, it will be different colors, as I said before, dark red and reddish."

Sapphire also has many legendary praises. It is said that he can protect the king and the monarch from harm and jealousy. It is the most suitable gemstone for the priest's crown, and the traditional practice engraves the Christian Ten Commandments on sapphire. The Persians believed that the earth was supported by a huge sapphire, and the reflection of sapphire reflected the sky in blue.

In the legend of the East, sapphire is regarded as a road stone, which can protect the wearer from losing direction and good luck, even after the gem is released. Richard Burton, the famous explorer of the 19th century and author of "A Thousand and One Nights", has a huge star sapphire. He regards this sapphire as a talisman. He always brings him good horses and timely service wherever he goes. Just look at the sapphire and everything he wants will come.

So far, sapphire is still very popular among people. People use rubies as the birthstone of July. In July, when the sun is burning, wearing flaming ruby ​​jewellery, the bright sunshine and the brilliant brilliance of the ruby ​​are radiant and energetic. Sapphire is seen as a symbol of loyalty and steadiness. The three stars of the star sapphire, known as the "stone of destiny", are also given a beautiful symbol of loyalty, hope and fraternity.
