Not all Blue Sapphire is pure enough to emanate the energy required to produce Blue Sapphire's therapeutic effects. Blue Sapphire that is itself filled with flaws, contaminants, and impurities cannot be expected to clear impurities from the mind and head.

Four primary factors determine Blue Sapphire quality: color, clarity, consistency, and a trait called gem candescence.

An accurate assessment of Blue Sapphire’s color and clarity requires a microscope. Ideal Sapphire is a rich, true blue—neither too pale nor too indigo. Only a microscope, which allows you to see how light passes through the gemstone, can reveal Blue Sapphire's true color. A microscope also lets you see whether the gem contains even the slightest black tinge. This is essential, because any black coloration is a severe contaminant that nullifies all of Blue Sapphire's effects. Even a wisp of black renders Blue Sapphire non-therapeutic.

The greater its clarity, the more energy a Blue Sapphire can radiate. Common inclusions found in Blue Sapphire are impurities, such as rock matrix, white clouds, and a toxic yellow discoloration that renders the Sapphire non-therapeutic.

Consistency is also an important element in a therapeutic Blue Sapphire necklace. Inconsistency in the color, clarity, or size of spheres within a necklace creates a distraction, which the Blue Sapphire energy must first overcome before it can do its work. This is one reason why most Blue Sapphire necklaces are not therapeutic or are much less therapeutic than their other quality parameters might indicate.

Gem candescence is an optical quality possessed by some Blue Sapphire. A bead displaying gem candescence looks like a drop of liquid Blue Sapphire. In the Sapphire in which it is found, gem candescence is an intense outpouring of the blue ray, making the Sapphire look like its own source of pure blue light. Its liquid appearance is an energetic quality that allows the Sapphire energy to access the mind instantly. All other factors being equal, gem-candescent Blue Sapphire is many times more powerful than Blue Sapphire without gem candescence.

Our Blue Sapphire Necklaces

Our therapeutic Blue 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 Blue Sapphire necklaces available anywhere.

We also examine each Blue Sapphire rondel under a microscope to determine its therapeutic quality category and to eliminate any beads containing toxic contaminants. Consistency is an important factor in creating a Blue 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 Blue 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 Very Fine, Exquisite, Exquisite Plus, 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. Blue Sapphire is one of these gemstones. This means that a particular Blue 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.

After one and a half years of wearing Blue Sapphire, I am a different person. It has changed the very way I think. In the past, I set myself up to fail in various ways. Now, as old concepts and attitudes break up, I feel free to discover who I really am and to dream bigger, more fulfilling dreams. I feel less limited in what I can achieve in my life.

I originally purchased my Blue Sapphire for my eyesight. However, the first thing I noticed after putting it on is that my neck felt stronger. I have suffered with extensive chiropractic issues in my neck for nearly three years, often requiring as many as three to four adjustments per week. Since first donning the Blue Sapphire three months ago, I have required only two fairly minor adjustments. This necklace has been nothing short of a miracle for me. Thank you, Gemisphere!

After wearing my Blue Sapphire necklace for a few days, I was in a hurry to pack some food in the morning and was surprised to notice that time seemed to be passing more slowly. Then I realized that I was squeezing more actions into each minute! I also seem to be going faster with mentally oriented tasks. I can't imagine a simpler or more profoundly effective mode of therapy!

When I first put on Blue Sapphire, it was such a joyful feeling that it made me laugh. The blue color ray is my “strength ray,” and receiving and putting on the necklace felt like coming home. My entire being is so much lighter, clearer, and uplifted. I can feel all my chakras becoming more open and a sense of joy bubbling inside me.

Wear It Around Your Neck

The best way to wear Blue Sapphire is in a short necklace of 3-mm to 4-mm rounded Sapphires. A short necklace is one that lies close to the throat. The blue ray enters the body through the throat chakra, and the Sapphire energy rides on the blue ray. Such a necklace allows both the blue ray and the Sapphire energy to enter your throat chakra easily and to produce strong, immediate effects.

The higher the quality of the Blue Sapphire, the more powerful and effective it will be, and the fewer carats you will need to wear. Indeed, with each jump in quality category, Blue Sapphire's therapeutic potency multiplies by many times. Consequently, 20 to 40 carats of Exquisite or Exquisite-Plus quality will produce strong therapeutic effects, while Very Fine quality often requires 30 to 50 carats.

This amount of Blue Sapphire actually provides more energy than is needed by your physical head, and the excess will flow out through your brow chakra. Whenever a color ray flows out through your brow, your attention flows with it. This encourages you to become more aware of things beyond the physical arena. Thus, when your physical sight and hearing become clearer through the use of a 30- to 50-carat Sapphire necklace, so will your inner sight and hearing. Wearing a smaller amount of Sapphire—even 1½ to 2 carats—will have some beneficial effects, but only if the Sapphire is properly combined in a necklace with other harmonious, supporting gemstones.

Care must be taken not to wear too much Blue Sapphire, thinking that more is better. It is important to avoid wearing more than one solid necklace of Sapphire or a solid necklace that falls significantly below the throat chakra. Wearing rounded Blue Sapphires larger than 5 mm can also be detrimental. Relatively large amounts of Sapphire can sometimes have wonderful influences on the mind, but your body and emotions will resist the overly rapid changes initiated by the Sapphire. This resistance can imbalance and scatter your mind and can cause great mental confusion. Also, the more Blue Sapphire you wear, the more accumulated mental garbage will be stirred up. If more garbage is released into your system than the Sapphire or your body can handle, your body will become stressed and imbalanced in its efforts to metabolize the garbage. Therefore, it is best not to wear too much Blue Sapphire.

Focused Therapies

In addition to wearing a Blue Sapphire necklace around your neck, you can use it for more focused treatments. A Blue Sapphire necklace can also be used 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 are two other treatments you can perform with this necklace.

Blue Ray Infusion

This therapy infuses Blue Sapphire and blue-ray energy into all parts of the body to profoundly nourish the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and other components of the nervous and circulatory systems. The result is a greater sense of integration, energy, and strength.

Eye Therapy

Blue Sapphire is placed over the eyes to soothe eyestrain and to improve vision. 

Time Guidelines

How consistently you should wear Blue Sapphire depends in part on your purpose for wearing it. If you are using Blue Sapphire to remove disharmony in your head, to improve your eyesight or hearing, or to resolve imbalances in the brain, it should be worn continually without interruption for at least several months. This is also true when you are using Blue Sapphire to clear mental garbage. The process is comparable to taking out the household garbage—it re-accumulates quickly and, if not removed, starts to overflow.

If you are using Blue Sapphire simply to organize your mental processes, you can wear it for shorter periods without losing ground. The Sapphire will pick up its work and begin organizing your thoughts wherever it last left off.

Cleanse Blue Sapphire Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Blue Sapphire necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight.

Water Rinse: Rinse the gems 2 – 3 times a week.

Sunbath: Every 1 - 2 weeks, lay the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time.

Clay Cleanse: For deeper cleansing, occasionally perform a bentonite clay bath or pack.

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.
