Description

Ancient Egyptians were using sapphire for healing ailments of the eye. Sapphire was closely associated with The Eye Of Horus. The Book Of The Dead gave instructions on how to fashion an Eye Of Horus amulet out of sapphire, which was supposed to help the wearer open their ‘divine’ third eye. Healers of the day used to grind sapphire into a powder and Cleopatra is said to have used sapphire in her makeup. The Egyptian belief that sapphire aided not only the ‘divine’ vision but our mortal vision as well has carried on through the successive dynasties and cultures which came to control Egypt in the following centuries.
The Ancient Persians also held interesting beliefs regarding sapphire. Sapphire gems were said to be fragments of a large pedestal upon which the entire world was held, thus giving the sky its blue color. Sapphires were a large part of the Silk Road trading network, connecting East and West, spreading new ideas and beliefs back and forth, often as valuable as the precious cargo the merchants carried.
Classical Civilization
Though the Greek and Roman civilizations are regarded as ‘ancient’ by contemporary humans, the ancient Indian civilization predated them by thousands of years, making them relative newcomers to the sapphire scene.
The Ancient Greeks took control of Egypt after Alexander the Great conquered the ancient kingdom. The Egyptian beliefs regarding sapphire’s healing properties and its ability to open one’s eyes to the realm of the gods had passed down to the Greeks themselves, who associated sapphire with wisdom and vision, attributing sapphire to their god, Apollo.
