In the west, blue sapphire is said to protect kings and monarchs from harm and jealousy. It is the most suitable jewel for the priest's ring crown. The role of tradition is to carve the Ten Commandments of Christianity on sapphire. Therefore, it is regarded as a symbol of loyalty and firmness, and sapphire has always been regarded as a treasure of the royal family. Since Peter the Great, Russian kings have been fascinated by sapphire. Even though 75% of the gems in the famous "Russian Diamond Treasure House" have been stolen from the people, there are still large sapphires with a total weight of 1700 carats and small sapphires with a total weight of 2,600 carats in stock. The famous Louis XIV owned a clear sapphire, weighing 65,438+035.80 carats. Before the German princess got it, Louis XIV bought it as "the glory of France" and decorated it on a hat or scarf. King Ferdinand of Romania once gave Queen Maria an extremely precious sapphire weighing 478 carats as a gift. Therefore, it is known as the "imperial stone" in the gem world.

Now some people call blue gems or crystals "the stones of emperors", such as tanzanite, aquamarine and lapis lazuli.

In addition, sapphire is not only a blue gem, but also a collection of all corundum gems except ruby, with various colors.
