Sapphire
Sapphire Meaning:
King Solomon's fabulous magical ring was said to have been a blue sapphire and so a symbol of wisdom. The Ancient Greeks called the sapphire the jewel of the sun god Apollo. The blue stone was worn when consulting Apollo's oracle at Delphi in order that the questioner might have the wisdom to understand the answer given.
This precious gemstone offers calming and healing energies to all who wear or hold it. It will also bring good luck. Sapphire helps during times of change to maintain clear vision of where it is you want to go and how to get there. Blue Sapphire is said to assist with the following physical ailments:
Thyroid

What Chakra Does Sapphires Belong To?
Throat Chakra
Location: The region of the throat, jaw, neck, mouth, and thyroid Colour: Blue Element: Ether (Space) Signs of balance: Authentic expression comes easily and naturally Signs of imbalance: Difficulty tuning into the true self, the urge to hide opinions and desires from yourself and others, gossiping, dominating conversations, difficulty listening to others, neck pain, hormone fluctuation (relating to the thyroid)
The throat chakra corresponds to the element of ether: space that forms the essence of emptiness. Our true selves exist in the space between the clutter of constant thoughts and emotions through meditation. In the calmness, we find the subtle element of ether and reconnect to the throat chakra.
When the throat chakra is in balance, we speak, listen, and express ourselves openly and authentically. When out of balance, we ignore our inner voice, feel afraid of expressing ourselves, or have trouble listening to others. A blocked throat chakra can also store tension physically and cause a sore throat or neck and shoulder pain.
How do you Cleanse and Clean Sapphires?
As a hard gemstone, Sapphire can be easily cleansed most ways, but the darker coloured sapphires might fade if left in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
Therefore, leaving sapphire in direct moonlight on the night of the full moon is a very effective cleansing and recharging ritual. You can cleanse sapphire in spring water or hold the crystal under a running tap while visualising the energies overbalancing.
Cleansing with reiki is also a useful method.
To physically clean your sapphire, you can use warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
