Pink Sapphire and its pink ray bring greater ease, strength, structure, and freedom to your emotional life. The pink ray carried by Pink Sapphire nourishes your emotional body, the part of you where emotions are born and take shape. This vital nourishment accelerates your emotional development, eases emotional burdens and pain, and helps heal emotional damage. By relieving congestion and blockages in your emotional body, the pink ray also opens pathways for all life-giving color rays to linger in your physical body, thereby extending the life of your cells and promoting longevity.

Wearing a necklace of rounded Pink Sapphire crystals enhances the structural integrity of your emotional body and opens beneficial space within it. As a result, you can more easily sort out your feelings and make clearer decisions. If burdensome emotional energies are pressing on your physical body, causing depression or a chronic sense of being overwhelmed, they are lifted. With the easing of this pressure, you may feel a newfound freedom to move—physically, emotionally, and in your life.

By giving structure and support to your emotional body, Pink Sapphire also awakens your emotional intelligence. This fosters a strong sense of emotional identity and helps you connect with your heart’s true desires and express them openly and truthfully.

Wearing Pink Sapphire can also improve your ability to perceive energies, including gemstone energies.

Nourishing the Emotional Body with the Pink Color Ray

Your physical and subtle bodies are nourished by a continual flow of the seven color rays of the life force: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The emotional plane—the band of vibrations in which the emotional body exists—is home to yet another essential color ray: pink. The pink ray provides vital nourishment to your emotional body and a type of healing energy that resonates specifically with that body. It helps heal emotional pain and damage, eases emotional burdens, and accelerates emotional development.

Pink Sapphire is a natural carrier of the pink color ray. Wearing a necklace of Pink Sapphire not only nourishes your emotional body with pink ray, it encourages all the other color rays to nourish it as well.

Support for Healing Emotional Pain

Emotional pain can derive from emotional damage and unhealed emotional wounds. Many circumstances can cause this damage, including chronic anger, heartbreak, loss, abandonment, guilt, fear, trauma, or long-term unhappiness. When your emotional body is well nourished with Pink Sapphire’s pink ray, emotional pain eases, because the underlying emotional damage has an opportunity to heal. As part of the healing process, the emotional-body damage may come forward, making it easier to identify and treat with additional therapies, such as other gemstones.

Pink Sapphire’s pink-ray nourishment can also help you feel less drained by life’s emotional challenges. Strong or prolonged emotions can deplete your emotional and physical bodies, especially when your everyday responsibilities don’t allow you time to resolve them and replenish yourself. When this happens, you are asking your emotional body to do more work than it is being compensated for. It’s like running a mile when your conditioning is adequate only for walking around the block. Sometimes your life experiences mean that you must ask your emotional body to run that mile. With Pink Sapphire’s support, your emotional body can go the distance.

Wearing Pink Sapphire nourishes your emotional body, so that you can meet life’s challenges without feeling drained. As the pink ray mends your emotional fabric, your emotions will also be soothed. Eventually, your emotional body can become so well nourished that it serves as an energy storehouse for your physical body.

Accelerating Emotional Development

We develop emotionally by learning from our experiences and interactions with other people. Indeed, your experiences and lessons develop the very fabric of your emotional body. Wearing Pink Sapphire enables your emotional body to accept more pink ray, which in turn accelerates this development and growth. When your emotional body is well developed, you are more aware of other people’s feelings and cares, you exhibit emotional balance and grace, and you have the strength to take responsibility for your own emotions and actions. As your emotional body continues to develop with the help of the pink ray, you’ll also become more aware of your true feelings, both emotional and intuitive, which you will naturally incorporate into your self-expression.

Energetic Columns of Support

When you wear Pink Sapphire, its energies first move directly into your emotional aura and then into your emotional body. Over time, when a certain saturation point is reached, the Pink Sapphire energies start to form individual streams that resemble columns. (To picture these columns, imagine the Greek columns on their ancient temples and other famous buildings.) These columns offer many important benefits.

The Benefits of Breathing Room

The energetic columns constructed by Pink Sapphire support and expand your emotional body and aura, giving them more breathing room. This expansion also relieves pressure on your physical body. An emotional body that has become overburdened with emotional energy presses on the physical tissue. This energetic heaviness and pressure can lead to lethargy, fatigue, or depression, and all manner of physical problems. Movement becomes more difficult, flexibility decreases, and interest in physical exercise may wane. This pressure can also lead to feelings of being cramped or confined in relationships or living space, leading to claustrophobia, cabin fever, or an urge to run away because difficulties seem overwhelming.

When the energetic columns constructed by Pink Sapphire relieve this pressure, you may feel a newfound freedom to move—physically, emotionally, and in your life. You may also enjoy greater flexibility, especially in your muscular, skeletal, and cardiovascular systems. Pink Sapphire is especially effective for relieving emotional pressure on the chest and heart. It can help soothe emotionally based pain and relieve congestion in the heart and lungs, as well as in the heart chakra.

As your emotional body expands, the energies associated with your emotional, causal, and physical experiences have room to untangle and become more distinct from each other. As a result, you may find it easier to understand what you are feeling and to make clear decisions. You may also find the clarity to identify unwanted emotional patterns and habits, making them significantly easier to overcome. In this way, wearing Pink Sapphire can help you unlock repetitive emotional responses and learn to allow an emotion to run its course and be done.

This expansion also opens space for more life energy to flow through your emotional body. This flow of life energy encourages emotional healing, reduces the likelihood of new emotions becoming tangled or blocked, and helps you handle stress more efficiently. With this new breathing room, the situations that once seemed so overwhelming are put into a manageable perspective. You’re also less likely to feel confined by relationships, small living quarters, or stressful circumstances.

The expansion in your emotional body is reflected in your emotional aura, whose outer boundary expands to its maximum potential distance from your physical body. A gemstone therapist will likely be able to palpate your emotional aura and find that its outer boundary is exceptionally resilient and uninterrupted by pockets or depressions.

Awakening Emotional Intelligence

The Pink Sapphire columns give structure and support to your emotional body. When your emotional body is supported by these columns and nourished by the pink ray, its intelligence wakes up. With an awakened emotional intelligence, you will have fewer knee-jerk emotional reactions. Your emotional expressions will become spontaneously more heart-oriented and holistic, and you will emote more honestly.

In addition, with this awakened emotional intelligence, you will have a stronger sense of emotional identity and become better able to set priorities that are true to your heart. Instead of trying to please others while forfeiting your own desires, Pink Sapphire can help you reconnect with your heart’s true desires and express them openly and truthfully.

Enhanced Energetic Protection

As the structure of your emotional aura improves, you will become better protected from negative emotional energy. Pink Sapphire can help you heal from previous intrusions that damaged your emotional fabric and the protective energy that surrounds your body. Such intrusions may include personal violations, frequent surgeries, physical or emotional abuse, or the use of psychedelic drugs. Pink Sapphire helps you build healthy emotional boundaries and gives you the energetic resources you need to maintain them.

Support for Longevity 

Color rays flow in a never-ending circuit from their source in undifferentiated spirit, through the subtle bodies to the physical body, and back again. For convenience, we name the flow that moves toward the physical body the incoming flow, and the one that moves back toward the source the return flow. Steady, uninterrupted flows in both directions are essential for health and the continuation of life.

The point at which the incoming flow reverses, and the return flow begins, is the turnaround point. The incoming flow is strongest in a newborn baby. In a newborn, it penetrates deep into the physical fabric before reaching its turnaround point. This depth anchors the life force in the child and provides ample color rays to support rapid physical growth. As we age, the impetus of the incoming flow diminishes, and the turnaround point recedes; the flow of color rays simply cannot reach as far into the physical fabric. As the turnaround point retreats beyond a certain point, signs of aging and ill health arise.

Preserving the Turnaround Point

Pink Sapphire helps preserve the turnaround point at whatever level it exists when you start to wear the necklace. It does this by maintaining the impetus of the incoming flow of color rays. It relieves congestion and blockages in the emotional body that otherwise restrain both flows and cause the turnaround point to recede. Wearing Pink Sapphire continually will help you maintain steady, uninterrupted flows in both directions and prevent your turnaround point from receding further. Thus, Pink Sapphire is a powerful tool for longevity.

Help for Extending the Lifespan of Cells

In addition, since Pink Sapphire’s energetic columns expand the emotional body, both incoming and return flows will have more space to traverse. Consequently, the incoming flow of color rays will take more time to reach the turnaround point, and your emotional and physical bodies will receive more color nourishment, similar to that received during youth. Because your physical cells will bathe in color rays for a longer time, the prime of their lives will be extended. This in turn will delay cellular division, thus decreasing the chance of mutations. This is another way that Pink Sapphire slows the aging process and supports longevity.

Astral Vision and Sensitivity to Energy

Wearing Pink Sapphire can improve your ability to sense and palpate the energies of the physical body, of the auras, and of therapeutic gemstones. These abilities come naturally as your emotional body develops, and Pink Sapphire speeds the process.

Gemstone therapy, in general, supports the development of subtle-body structure. Because gemstone energy radiates into the aura, it provides the subtle bodies with a matrix upon which their structure can become more refined and defined. In the case of Pink Sapphire, the columns it builds act as bridges between the brain and emotional body. This connection improves the brain’s ability to process information perceived by the emotional-body senses, also referred to as the astral senses. Thus, wearing Pink Sapphire will improve your brain’s ability to interpret what you perceive with your astral senses, including the emotional, or astral, frequencies within and around yourself.

When you wear Pink Sapphire, you may also remember your dreams more clearly, and visualization experiences may become more vivid and meaningful.

Pink Sapphire and the Indigo Ray

Pink Sapphire carries a small amount of indigo ray—just enough to help build the structural columns in the emotional body. Pink Sapphire will supply some indigo-ray nourishment for your bones and the structural components of every cell and tissue.

Support for Healing a Stubborn Physical Condition

When nothing else seems to alleviate a physical condition, wearing Pink Sapphire may help. As its energy nourishes, calms, heals, and expands your emotional body, your physical body receives more nourishment from your emotional body. With this increased nourishment, your body is better able to heal. And with the additional space provided by an expanded emotional body, your physical body is better able to release the unwanted energies underlying a stubborn physical ailment.

Comparing Pink Sapphire with Other Emotionally Focused Gemstones

Wearing Pink Sapphire supports and enhances the work of many other gemstones. However, it is best not to wear it while you are also wearing Ruby or Rhodochrosite. Read more details below.

Roselle (Rose Quartz)

Sometimes, when we have a strong and prolonged emotional experience, the fabric of the emotional body penetrates the physical body and settles in an organ or tissue. Consequently, we can become unable or unwilling to let certain emotions go. Roselle helps separate the fibers of these two bodies and untangle them, thus extracting emotional energy from physical tissue, releasing the emotion, and allowing the physical tissue to take a healing step forward. Roselle helps establish healthy connections between the emotional and physical bodies and clears the channels of emotional flow and expression, so you can feel your emotions more clearly. This can help you move through an unpleasant emotional experience more quickly and allow you to enjoy positive emotions more often.

When worn together, Roselle and a Pink Sapphire work well and in tandem. While Pink Sapphire helps to lift the emotional body off the physical body, Roselle helps to untangle the fabric of the two bodies. In addition, Pink Sapphire works globally, all over the aura and all at once, while Roselle tends to work on specific areas, even when worn as a necklace.

Rhodonite

Ideally, the column structure built by Pink Sapphire will rest on a relatively strong foundation. Rhodonite works to build a solid, healthy, and secure emotional foundation. It helps balance, ground, and stabilize emotions. Therefore, if you feel emotionally frail or exhausted or are frequently anxious or nervous, you may find it beneficial to wear a Rhodonite necklace for a few months before working with Pink Sapphire, and then wear the two necklaces together.

Rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite helps break up and release patterns or habits that restrict your emotional energy from flowing in healthy ways and that interfere with your enjoyment of the fullness of life. Rhodochrosite’s energy can be very strong. Its tornado-like energy shakes up your limiting patterns.

If you wear Pink Sapphire before working with Rhodochrosite, Pink Sapphire can help create some emotional stability and space, which allows Rhodochrosite to work more effectively and deeply.

However, wearing a Pink Sapphire necklace and a Rhodochrosite necklace (or Magic Gift or Libra, both of which contain a significant amount of Rhodochrosite) at the same time is not recommended. The building and stabilizing energy of Pink Sapphire and the releasing energy of Rhodochrosite would interfere with each other and may feel unsettling.

Ruby

Both Pink Sapphire and Ruby (i.e., Red Sapphire) are strong gemstones that work in the emotional body. Ruby’s therapeutic mechanism involves moving emotional energy. Pink Sapphire builds structures and stabilizes emotional energy. Because both Ruby and Pink Sapphire are powerhouse gemstones with contrasting energies, it is best not to wear a Ruby, Ruby Dream, or Ruby Rose necklace while wearing a Pink Sapphire necklace. Wearing Pink Sapphire and Ruby together may contribute to a feeling of anxiety or tension.

Other Gemstones

Pink Sapphire enhances the effects of most other therapeutic gemstone necklaces worn with it by directing their energies to the areas of the body and aura where those necklaces have their greatest resonance.

Wear It Around Your Neck

Pink Sapphire is best worn as a short necklace, 15 to 18 inches in length. Since, in a short necklace, the gemstones are more evenly distributed between the front and back of the body, their energy radiates more evenly into the aura than it does from a longer necklace. This is significant, because the Pink Sapphire energy that radiates to the back of your aura specifically frees the emotional energy that may be pressuring your spine.

Special Therapies

In addition to wearing a Pink Sapphire necklace around your neck, you can use it for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl up the necklace and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area’s recovery. Here is another focused treatment you can perform with this necklace:

Emotional Clearing Technique

A Pink Sapphire necklace is circled in the aura in front of the chest to clear emotional pain or to regain control of the emotions. This therapy can also help ease emotional upset, whether from longstanding emotional distress or a brief, intense outburst. View instructions.

Amount to Wear

It is best to start with a necklace of Pink Sapphire rondels weighing 18 to 40 carats and let the gemstone’s benefits develop slowly over time. A necklace weighing more than 40 carats significantly intensifies its strength. A Pink Sapphire necklace that is too strong or forceful can cause an imbalance by building haphazard columns and rushing the expansion of the emotional body.

After about a year of working with Pink Sapphire, if you wish to experience stronger effects, you may add rondels to your necklace to lengthen it by several inches. When you wear a longer Pink Sapphire necklace, occasionally center it so that it drapes evenly on the front and back of your body. However, if during activity your necklace slips forward onto your chest, as it inevitably will, the Pink Sapphire will still provide powerful benefits.

White Gold Clasp

For Pink Sapphire necklaces, white gold clasps are preferable to yellow gold clasps. The copper in yellow gold emits a vibration that conflicts with Pink Sapphire. Orient the necklace so that the clasp lies just in front of your shoulder. This way, the Pink Sapphire will touch the entire back of your neck.

Time Guidelines

Pink Sapphire is best worn for a significant amount of time every day, either overnight, during the day, or both. However, it’s always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. If you start to feel irritable, or if you get a headache or feel other significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes by wearing the gems for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cautions and Contraindications

Regulating Pink Sapphire’s Work

Pink Sapphire energy is very strong. When you start working with this gem, at times you may feel more emotional than usual. As your emotional body expands, emotional blockages will be given breathing room; life energy will start flowing through and around these blockages, naturally allowing them to release. You may experience this as a release of pent-up or suppressed emotions. These releases are part of the healing process.

If you wear Pink Sapphire and feel an uncontrollable emotional release, cleanse the necklace more frequently. This release may mean that space in your emotional body is opening quickly and unwanted or negative energies are collecting on the necklace. If you have cleansed the necklace at least twice a day, and you continue to experience uncomfortable releases, put the necklace aside for a day or two, and then resume wearing it for a shorter period each day. If you routinely experience emotional releases with Pink Sapphire, you may want to wear Rhodonite for a few months before working with Pink Sapphire, or wear both necklaces simultaneously.

In time, this heightened emotionality will ease. Meanwhile, your awareness of your emotional body will be growing, thus giving you a greater opportunity to know and love this significant part of yourself. And by awakening your emotional body, you’ll have access to a more encompassing feeling of love, including self-love.

Ruby, Rhodochrosite, and Pink Sapphire 

Wearing Pink Sapphire with either Ruby or Rhodochrosite is contraindicated. Because Ruby’s therapeutic action involves moving energy, and Pink Sapphire builds structures and stabilizes energy, they should not be worn together. Wearing Rhodochrosite and Pink Sapphire together is contraindicated for a similar reason. While Pink Sapphire creates stability, Rhodochrosite works to break up and release patterns. However, wearing Pink Sapphire before working with Rhodochrosite can be beneficial, because Pink Sapphire creates space for Rhodochrosite to do its work.

Care and Cleansing of Pink Sapphire

Cleanse Pink Sapphire daily and whenever you start to feel uncomfortable, either emotionally or physically. For the first week or two you wear it, a great deal of emotional and other types of energies that don’t fit in your physical-emotional continuum will be cleared, and they will collect on the gemstones.

Later, cleansing Pink Sapphire in soap and running water will be adequate, but in the beginning, the gems will need a stronger, more penetrating cleansing method—i.e., a clay bath. After a week or two, you can cut back the clay cleansing to once a day and then to two or three times a week. Of course, anytime you sense a buildup of released energies around your necklace or it becomes uncomfortable to wear, cleanse it immediately.

When Pink Sapphire has picked up a certain amount of released energy from your aura, you will start to feel uncomfortable if you continue to wear the gemstone without cleansing it. Learn more about these methods.

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Our extremely rare Pink Sapphire rondels are a rich, true pink, with a hint of indigo. To mimic this spectacular color, most available Pink Sapphire is heat-treated, thereby destroying the gems’ therapeutic value. Not ours. Gemisphere’s Pink Sapphire is 100% natural and treatment-free.

Therapeutic Quality Pink Sapphire

Therapeutic quality Pink Sapphire displays a true pink color, with a hint of indigo. Its pink color can vary from pale to dark, but it is clearly not light red or pale Ruby. The richer the pink color, the more potent the gem’s effects.

Therapeutic quality Pink Sapphire is also bright. Finer quality rondels display gem candescence, an optical quality that makes the gemstones appear like liquid drops of pink light. Yet, to be therapeutic, Pink Sapphire’s does not have to be perfectly clear; very slight cracks or fissures are acceptable. Gems that are cloudy or contain masses of inclusions that inhibit light from passing through the gem are non-therapeutic.

Because of the rarity of Pink Sapphire with a true, rich pink color, much of the Pink Sapphire available today has been heat treated to enhance its color. To retain its therapeutic value, Pink Sapphire must be entirely natural and not heat treated, since this treatment causes the gemstone’s energy to radiate in a scattered, disruptive way. It prevents Pink Sapphire from forming the essential structure in the emotional body and upsets the organization of color rays in the emotional body.

Our Pink Sapphire Necklaces

Our therapeutic Pink Sapphire necklaces are made with Sapphire rondels that have been cut from high quality crystals usually reserved for making faceted gems. To ensure our Sapphire’s superior therapeutic value, we obtain the gemstones in rough form and then have the rondels cut to our unique specifications. Consequently, we offer the highest quality therapeutic Pink Sapphire necklaces available anywhere.

Consistency is an important factor in creating a Pink Sapphire necklace with a potent and harmonious energetic signature. Therefore, to make each necklace, we carefully match rondels for color, clarity, shape, and size. Thus, each Pink Sapphire necklace is unique, and all are individually priced based on their total carat weight and quality.

For most gemstones, the therapeutic quality categories defined as Quality 1, 2, 3, 4,  etc., suffice to describe the quality of the gems in a particular necklace. However, for a handful of gemstones, gradients of quality exist within each therapeutic quality category. Pink Sapphire is one of these gemstones. This means that a particular Pink Sapphire necklace may be somewhat higher or lower in quality than the other necklaces in the same category. These variations are reflected in the price per carat of each necklace.
