Why Sapphire is September Birthstone and Alternatives

The Reason Why Sapphire Represents September, Plus Great Choices of Alternative Birthstones

Being one of the most well recognized gemstones, even non-jewelry savory friends might know Sapphire is the birthstone of September. But is there a rational or reason behind the decision? Read on to discover! In honor of the season, remember to take the opportunity and get a FREE birthstone necklace upon purchase during the month of September.

Looking into Astrology: Relationship of Sapphire to Virgo and Libra

Gemstone lovers might remember birthstone by months, but puzzled as to why that specific gemstone was selected to represent the very month. True, we can be sure there must be a reason behind, however history is an ambiguous subject with many theories and stories. The modern birthstones we recognized today were agreed upon by organizations like Jewelers of America and American Gem Trade Association. This fact gives us a good start to investigate why Sapphire was selected to symbolize September.

The Link Between Sapphire, Virgo and the Planet Mercery

A key element of modernity is individualism, and thus the rational behind birthstone selection is often tied to Zodiac.  The month of September is predominately represented by Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) and shares by Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22). The ruling planet of Virgo is Mercery. And we all know Mercery is known as the “ocean planet”, symbolized by the color blue, water and transparency. Furthermore, Sapphire represents calmness and stability which coincide with Virgo’s temperament; and hence the Virgo-Sapphire-Mercury association.

Libra and Sapphire- the Metaphysic of Balance

The latter of September is represented by Libra, which is represented by a weight or scale, and thus symbolized balance and equilibrium. With its royal blue hue, Sapphire is connected to truth, sincerity and faithfulness. No doubt the perfect match with Libra.

The actual reason of selecting Sapphire for September was lost in history, but the Zodiac theory makes a very good case.

Kyanite: A Great Alternative September Birthstone

Sapphire is one of the rarest minerals on earth undoubtedly comes with a high price tag. Due to the accessibility nowadays people are accepting alternatives, and Kyanite is a good candidate with its similar appearance and a relatively affordable in price. Kyanite’s royal blue hue and brilliancy have a close resemblance to Sapphire. The main difference between two stones is their hardness.

Sapphire is a gemstone from the corundum family, ranking a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness it is one of the hardest gemstones on earth after diamond. Kyanite ranks a 4.5 – 7 in comparison (generally speaking jewelry grade Kyanite is around 6.5-7 in hardness, this topic deserves a more detail explanation for another article). The hardness however limits the way Kyanite is cut and polish. Being a more brittle material in comparison, Kyanite is more often cut and polish to spherical shape (bead) or briolette. Not necessary a CON to the gemstone, think of this as a feature not a bug. A Kyanite bead is truly specular with its natural pattern and gloss. Something that cannot be describe into words, best sees the photo or better yet in physical jewelry!

Color Sapphire for the Early Autumn Mood

Aside from the famous royal blue, Sapphire comes in many other colors. Although in a traditional sense only the popular blue is considered as September birthstone, nowadays more people see color sapphire as another great choice to represent the autumn month. Let’s look at our best pick of color sapphire and how they relate to the season!

Teal Sapphire, the color of a Brisky Lake

Reminiscent of the lake in early autumn, not so cold, just a bit chilly and very refreshing. Teal Sapphire is very much like the royal blue Sapphire with a tint of green. A great color for the nonconformist.

Pink Sapphire and the color of Autumn Sky

Think of the captivating rosy pink sunset of an autumn sky, this popular variation of Sapphire is a favorite for the true romantic.

Yellow Sapphire and the Leaf of Early Fall

Reminds us of September where the trees are turning to an amber yellow color. Perhaps a little melancholy, but somberly beautiful in its own right.

Now we hope you learn about Sapphire and other alternatives for September birthstone! Don’t forget to enjoy a FREE birthstone necklace upon purchase. Offer is good till October 01 2023.

[inchidentally]

this is so embarrassing but I got rly into the horoscope stuff about landoscar and wrote a giant thing about it all

unlike Lando I wasn't that knowledgeable about astrology before this, just the basics. so I took from a bunch of different sources.

if someone sees this and knows astrology pls add onto it bc it's really fascinating (also I'm new to fandom so if someone already did this I'm sorry I haven't seen it yet)

Oscar is an Aries and Lando of course Scorpio.

Both are signs that can have a tendency toward complications in any of their relationships mainly because of their ambition. But as we'll see they themselves bond over ambition.

They represent the beginning and end of the astrological cycle (Aries is the start, Scorpio is the end). So not only complimentary but also very powerful within their signs.

In terms of modalities, Oscar's Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign and Lando's Scorpio is a Fixed Scorpio. Aries starts things and Scorpio sees them through. I read this as Lando saying that Oscar will challenge him a lot more and push him - I always saw this as Lando seeing a fresh start to his own career.

Updated to add: Oscar's moon is in Virgo which is actually a huge clicking point for him and Lando in terms of creativity/inspiration and being perfectionists. it backs up completely how they both say their input about the car is extremely similar. but also it fits with Lando being the type of creative who creates, and Oscar being a creative who consumes. Oscar's most recent viewing included Sex Education, Killing Eve and compelling documentaries so the boy isn't just throwing on any old crap to pass the time he's watching stuff that love has been put into. and of course Lando's turned his entire life into creative content.

Aries is a Fire sign and Scorpio is Water which I've already turned into a tag for them because I really like that.

Aries birthstone is Diamond and gemstone is Bloodstone. Scorpio's birthstone is Topaz and gemstone is Citrine. I wish I knew more to find out if that's significant.

Both are ruled by Mars and respect each other's ambitions.

They can take turns in cheering the other on from the sidelines but also motivate the other to be the best versions of themselves.

Aries and Scorpio are both made to be the center of things and be magnetic to others. Aries does this by being confident and stubborn while Scorpio is seductive and bossy. And wow if that doesn't describe some of the best and more 'challenging' aspects of their racing careers.

Aries is a born leader and Scorpio is a natural center of attention.

Scorpio will triumph in pursuing Aries and Aries will be "powerless to resist" BUT Scorpio will dive in really fast and risk their heart more. That's okay because once Aries has been won over they love to offer reassurance and attention to Scorpio. Kind of how we couldn't get a read on Oscar and were worried Lando wouldn't get his energy returned to him but after a few months we realized Oscar was really eager to work with Lando and was just nervous about him and McLaren/F1 etc.

When they clash it can be intense but they can also have an unbreakable, blind trust in each other that lets them reconcile without any resentment. They can also reconcile extremely quickly.

Seriously, trust between the two signs is until death to us part. Which for friends/teammates explains why they've already had to undergo a lot of competition between them but they only seem to get closer and more comfortable with each other.

Aries can help Scorpio get out of their own head and overcome insecurities by their (Aries) positive ambitious nature! I love that one.

Verbal communication is their weakest point because Scorpio is complex and frightened of opening up and Aries is straightforward and doesn't like to get lost in their own head. But honestly for teammates or friends I feel like it's better that they trust each other and it doesn't matter that they can't talk for hours on end like Lando does with Carlos. Especially since Lando said it was kind of a benefit being on separate teams to a friend like Carlos because the competition wasn't something they necessarily enjoyed. And we all know how that went with Daniel. Way better not being on the same team.

It's also for the best for Oscar and Lando because they're both averse to showing their hand emotionally too much and it could lead to a lot of miscommunication. Scorpio is scared of getting hurt and Aries is scared of being misunderstood.

The fact that they both value bravery and faithfulness is probably why they don't need much communication to be honest. They both respond to acts/demonstrations of trust more than expression through words. Again why their relationship has grown each time they face challenging races.

They're also compatibly healthy in that Scorpio finds bravery in facing their fears but Aries finds bravery in tackling a new challenge. So after a tough race when Lando finishes hiding away and licking his wounds he has Oscar there all ready to start the next race with a clean slate.

Funnily enough, Aries brings warmth and light to Scorpio and motivates Scorpio to let go of insecurities which is… really really sweet?? A lot of places describe Scorpio (esp early Nov) as being like an elusive intriguing moonbeam type person with Aries as a confident steady sunshine.

What I find most interesting is that at first glance their personalities seem at odds with their signs buttt after obsessing over them a solid what, 7 months or more? I think the fact that Aries/Oscar is genuinely much more socially confident and comfortable in new life situations fits in with how he is happy to travel around the world alone and board away from family and decide his own fate in F1 fits that perfectly. Whereas Lando socially always leans into another person to help him navigate public speaking or making content etc and his social battery tends to drain pretty fast around people he's not simpatico with which fits with Scorpios often seeming aloof and standoffish (press and fans misinterpreting this as Lando being a brat).

Apparently the thing they're best at doing together is sex sssooooo let's translate that into "pushing each other harder on the track" alsgfjsafj

ship/fic-centric stuff

They will ALWAYS fuck fast and fuck furious. Very little time will elapse between meeting and fuckening.

Romantic love will often only form after sexual gratification because Scorpio/Aries sex is apparently the best there is !! (crazy wild and never get enough etc) But when the romantic love is created it's intense and permanent.

They both have a hard line on infidelity within their relationship (Aries/Scorpio) and they would never cheat on each other. With other signs etc is more vague. If the bond isn't strong or the passion fades then they might cheat on other people - just never on each other. But if their other partners cheat on them then it's good night jim kite broken up/divorced/shipping the box of belongings with no note attached.

Apparently Scorpio will straight up be a freak in bed and Aries will love keeping up with them. Lando will want to do EVERYthing and Oscar will be ready to do anything for him.

Not that it's applicable outside traditional gender norms but in Scorpio/Aries relationships, Scorpio is always assigned distinctly feminine and Aries distinctly masculine. Again, gross in a cishet sense but if you're a believer in masculine and feminine energies then that's generally how they would fall.

Both signs are extremely possessive and it bonds them together so well because Scorpio needs to feel constant reassurance that the fire is still alive and Aries will always provide and be rock solid reliable. So a really easy form of conflict would be to have one of them unable to hide jealousy of either the other's partner or close friend. Apparently Lando would lash out and show spite whereas Oscar would sulk and openly glare.

Honestly so much of this was about intimacy and bonding through hot scorching risk-taking sex soooo I think the sky is the limit when it comes to how wild they would get real fast. Think Oscar crowding Lando a lot or making him do something exhibitionist and Lando getting frisky in inappropriate places or producing a heinous variety of erotic game play.

yea please add to this if you know anything else apparently I can't get enough of it

The Reason Peridot is the August Birthstone and Selected Jewelries

Why Peridot is the Birthstone of August and Great Gift Ideas

We know there are logic behind the selection of birthstones, but the true origin is obscure and difficult to ascertain.  For August we researched the most creditable (and interesting) anecdote that makes the perfect sense. Read on to find out! During the month of August, we offer a 25% off on all items as summer celebration. Remember to take the opportunity adding jewelries to your collection or getting gifts to your love ones.

The Affiliation of Peridot and Hot Summer Heat

Peridot are made by volcanic basalt under extreme heat and pressure. Therefore, Peridot are symbolically hot being created from lava under high heat condition, hence the association with summer heat. A rather simple but convincing explanation.

One can also look into the zodiac. Leo’s (July 23-Aug 22) ruling planet is the all-powerful Sun. Astrology aside lion is often tie to the Sun for both represents the majestic and powerful. In many aspects too we can see the association: the lion’s mane compares with solar ray; lion’s yellow fur correlate with color of the sun…  Rationally we can establish the link between extreme heat, lion, and Peridot all together as a representation of August’s summer.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep22) shares August with Leo. The color green and brown (being an Earth tone) are known to be Virgo’s lucky color, perfectly captures by Peridot’s unique shade of olive green. Compare to the richer green of Emerald, the specific shade of green in Peridot is an acquired taste. But once you fell in love with it you can never go back! If you are a Virgo then Peridot is an especially worthwhile gemstone to consider for this very reason.

Curated Peridot Jewelry and Gift Recommendations

With its particular color, Peridot is charming in different ways. The stone can be faceted, round beaded or raw. These selected designs are especially gorgeous showcasing the beauty of Peridot.

The Symbolism of Calla Lily Perfectly Matches Peridot

Peridot is a naturally good fit to the lily flower for both contains similar symbolic meaning of growth and beauty. The LILY necklace is in a stylized form of the calla lily flower. At the center of the flower sets a faceted Peridot, and the stem accent with diamonds in a semi-halo format. A very nice yet easy to wear design.

Silver Spoon Necklace with Raw Peridot Representing Sugar Cube

Rough or raw stone means the gemstone are in its natural form, without cutting into the more conventional shape of faceted or bead. This treatment gain traction in recent years as people are starting to appreciate gemstones for its raw beauty. Not all gemstone is suitable for this cut. Rating a 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, a fair toughness makes Peridot suitable for rough cut. The LONDON necklace is miniature spoon influenced by British afternoon tea. Imagine the raw Peridot as a cube of sugar ready to be serve with milk tea. This one is mint favored.

Minimalist Necklace is a Timeless Classic

Spherical or beaded cut gemstones possess a gentle sheen. A round beaded Peridot reminds me of a watery grape. The MAIA necklace is one of our bestselling design because it shows the beauty of beaded cut gemstone in all its glory. A minimalist design really best describes the “less is more” aesthetics.

Thank you for reading. Let’s celebrate summer with August birthstone! Please be remained to take this opportunity and enjoy 25% off on all items though out the month of August.

So idk if this has been asked before or not. But I’m going to throw it out there. What birthstone are the twins falling under? And what about the rest of the crew, if they were born in our world? It even what astral sign would they all fall under if that’s easier???

Sorry this took me so long to answer I was trying to see if I'd answered anything about birthdays before and i can't find anything so uh... are we talking about zodiac stones? That's easier for me, so...

Note that i don't really have set birthdays for anyone. non-canonically the Mario Bros, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Wario and DK would all have the same stone because they were all a batch of star children together, but that's not as fun. Also, I firmly believe Mimi was lying about her birthday in the Merlee quiz and she just picked a date that rhymed.

Mario & Luigi: Sapphire (Taurus) [for their birthday i took each brother's first game appearance date and averaged them to get 5/11-ish]

Peach: Carnelian (Virgo)

Bowser: Chrysolite (Libra)

Blumiere: Ruby (Capricorn)

Timpani: Emerald (Cancer)

Dimentio: Onyx (Leo) [enjoy international clown week u fuck]

Nastasia: Beryl (Scorpio)

O'Chunks: Topaz (Sagittarius)

Mimi: Agate (can't help being a Gemini)
