Sapphire Natural Birthstone. Sapphire which is blue in color is one of the natural birthstones of those born as the world awaits the vernal equinox and spring (February 19 - March 19). This is a time when new life is about to burst forth, a time of faith and trust. Blue crystals bring you patience and respect.
From its use in Chinese axes dating back to around 4000 B.C. to the 563-carat Star of India, the sapphire has been prized both for its hardness and its brilliant blue color. But not all sapphires are blue; the colors we see are the result of impurities and a process called charge transfer.
