September Birthstone—Sapphire Gemstones
Their assigned birthstone is sapphire for those whose astrological signs are Virgo and Libra or those born in September.
Sapphire Blue
The sapphire birthstone's name was coined after sapphirus, which Latin translates to 'blue stone.' While the birthstone is known for its deep blue color, it naturally exists as a colorless stone, gaining colors from different trace elements such as copper, chromium, and titanium. The typical blue color would be a result of both titanium and iron. Sapphires come in all sorts of colors from the rainbow except for red, which would then classify it as a ruby.
The sapphire, similar to the ruby birthstone, is another variety of an oxide mineral named corundum. They are also known for their significantly high hardness, second to that of the diamond, making them a valuable gemstone for jewelry and other applications such as electronics, scientific equipment, and high durability windows.
One of the best places to source deep blue sapphires is in Kashmir, India. But you can also find sapphires in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Australia, and Myanmar.
The September birthstone is believed to be a symbol of meditation and inner peace. It is also highly associated with loyalty, integrity, and nobility.

One of the most popular fashion statements that featured the September birthstone was Princess Diana's sapphire ring given to her by Prince Charles during their engagement in 1981.
