The word sapphire comes from the Greek word "sappheiros" meaning "blue color." It is one of the four precious gemstones, along with   diamond, ruby, and the emerald.  Blue sapphire is regarded as a stone of mental focus and order, inner vision and psychic awareness. In chakra theory, sapphire is said to help open the third eye to receive wisdom and insight, as well as the throat chakra, which allows you to communicate that vision to others.  Associated with deep spirituality and devotion, sapphire is thought to bring peace and contentment to one's soul, as well as trust in the fulfillment of his or her destiny.
 
Blue sapphire is associated with purity and love. It enhances the wearer’s throat chakra and aids the person’s communication skills. Furthermore, it encourages the wearer to stay on the spiritual path and experience the ultimate healing of mind and body by unplugging all the blockages hindering it.
