sapphire

Children born when Autumn leaves are rustling in the September breeze, a Sapphire on her brow should bind. It will cure diseases of the mind.

We're in September and its time to celebrate this month's birthstone, the sapphire. Hailing from the same mineral family as rubies, sapphires, with their rich blue color, have long been a favorite with royalty around the world. Most recently, England's Princess Diana was famous for hers. Did you know that sapphires come in more than just blue however? Sapphires come in almost every color from orange to green to brown to even a clear, colorless kind. In Sri Lanka there's a beautiful pink-orange version of the stone they call the 'lotus flower' - padparadsch. Particolored sapphires are stones with two different colors in them. Found predominately in Australia, these rare colored stones have yet to be recreated in labs, making them true natural wonders. Even when you have a blue sapphire the color choices don't stop there. The blue can range from a light cornflower blue to a deep almost violet color.

But wait! There's more!

Some very rare sapphires reflect the light back in the form of a six point star, something known as asterism. The Star of Adam is one of the world's largest gemstone, a massive star sapphire larger than a chicken egg. The Black Star of Queensland is an almost black star sapphire once worn by Cher. And the famous Star of Bombay sapphire had the British name a gin after it, Bombay Sapphire.

Now that labs can manufacture sapphires, clear sapphires are most often produced and used as the 'glass' for windows that need to be highly scratch and heat resistant and are often used in high pressure or vacuum chambers. There have even been attempts to use them in iPhone screens. Sapphires are popular with lasers as well, since they can be minutely attuned to a wide spectrum range of visible and invisible light.

As mentioned previously though, sapphires have fascinated humans long before science found a use for them. Colored blue, the stone is often associated with the sky and leaving the more mundane layers of this earth behind. The ancient Greeks and Romans thought that wearing the stone would turn aside the ill will and envy of others. In Medieval Europe, sapphires were thought to call in the blessings of Heaven and were often worn by clergy in the Roman Catholic Church. In some Hindu beliefs, the sapphire was only meant for some people, bringing bad luck to others. To find which you were, you slept with the stone under your pillow for three nights. If your dreams were good, the sapphire would bring you enlightenment, protection and luck. If your dreams were bad, the stone would only bring you sorrow and better to be rid of it.

There is a legend that the Ten Commandments were written on sapphires.

Sapphires are supposed to be able to ward off the evil eye.

Lastly, sapphires are supposed to be medicinally healthy for the eyes, to ward against melancholy and to protect against mental illness. Mary, Queen of Scots, wore a sapphire necklace she could rub against her eyes to relieve the strain on them.

My April, my birth month. But it's a normal day anyways, and become an unforgettable day since I have them, friends, who are my family, and my family. Admit it, some special events or occasions are normal for us for some reason but some people change it that made it a special day, it's to be with the important person. It's unexpected to have them on my birthday since we are in crisis and it's a pandemic, but here we are. I'm so happy and I appreciate how they love me to make some time and effort. Even though they don't have a gift that I can open up nor a cake that I can blow the candle but I'm so contented to be with them. Waking up, exercise, rest, take a bath, eat breakfast and then enjoy the day. Opening my phone and then the first thing I notice is their greetings. They ask me, I come. We ride a bike, we rest, we eat, and we talk. That's how it went up. Memories are building up when we started pedaling the bike and the tire started to roll. It's always the first thing that we do to start making memories. Of course, generally, when we are tired, we rest. When we are hungry, we eat. That's what we do, and eat inihaw na manok with rice. We almost die laughing because the chicken of our friends splashed out. We meet, we talk. We sit in a peaceful place and have a peaceful talk. A peaceful day, with peaceful memories.

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1295

first posted in facebook march 30, 2024

nicolae vermont -- "reading" (1919)

"the person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid" … jane austen

"… but for my own part, if a book is well written, i always find it too short" … jane austen

"i declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! how much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- when i have a house of my own, i shall be miserable if i have not an excellent library" … jane austen

"give her a book, and she will read all day long … happy birthmonth kathryn" ... al janik
