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.
The color must be neither too dark nor too light to be considered finest quality. If the color is too dark it has a negative effect on the stoneâs brightness. At the other extreme, if the color is too light, the stone is considered pink sapphire, even if color strength or intensity is high. Some gem dealers debate the borderline between ruby and pink sapphire. Historically, the word ruby referred to shades of red, which technically included pink.
