Every so often we find a special variety of one of our beloved healing gemstones. Whether it’s the size, color, or extraordinary quality that makes them unique, we’re always excited to offer these special new pieces.
Today, I get to share with you a unique type of Blue Sapphire and Pink Sapphire.
Each necklace is graduated in color from dark to light, and we have only four.
Two consist of bright Pink Sapphire, one is a peachy-pink Pink Sapphire, and the other is Blue Sapphire. Each is strung with White Beryl in an intentional way.
When I design symbiotic combinations of gemstones, one thing I take into account is numerology, which is based on how the primary gemstone works with energy. If the gem’s purpose can benefit from a stabilizing influence, then I design it based on even numbers in the knotting or between the symbiotic gems strung along with it.
If the gem’s mission supports change or initiates energy movement, then I design the necklace based on odd numbers.
Blue Sapphire needs to move energy in order to help break up congestion that limits blue-ray nourishment or perpetuates old mental states. So generally, a Blue Sapphire & White Beryl necklace is based on odd numbers. The same is true for Pink Sapphire, which focuses its work in the emotional body.
The number 12 equals the even number 4 multiplied by the odd number 3. It’s a special number because it consists of both an even and odd number. It also has an affinity with your whole being—that which is more than the sum of your parts.
The number 1 also signifies your whole being, but it represents the one-of-a-kind spiritual being that you are. Twelve encompasses all that you are and then some. The number 1 points to singular wholeness—the macrocosm within the microcosm.
When I was working with this new graduated Sapphire, I began with a strand of Sapphire that we had taken days to sort by quality, organize by color, and then string based on color graduation. Examining this temporarily strung graduated Blue Sapphire strand, I instantly realized our usual design for it would not work. We string our one-color Blue Sapphire with groupings of White Beryl that increase in number up the strand. This supports movement.
To my surprise, the smooth gradation in color from dark to light moved energy all on its own. I did not expect the gems would do that. Clearly, stringing this Sapphire with odd numbers of White Beryl would move energy too much; wearing the necklace could actually disrupt the balance of a person’s energies.
It was obvious this graduated Sapphire needed a new design.
I couldn’t use even numbers, because that would work against the mission of Sapphire.
Instead, I designed the necklaces with sections of twelve Sapphire separated by one White Beryl all the way up the necklace. The front has a pair of three White Beryl to help get the motion going and be maintained.
The design is simple, elegant, and effective. You’ll also find these necklaces are relatively long (around 24 to 27 inches). The added length allows the necklace to reach to the heart chakra, which then becomes involved in the gemstones’ work for an added benefit.
Graduated Sapphire offers the same healing benefits as solid-color Sapphire. The difference is that the graduated color allows the Sapphire energy to work along a wide spectrum of vibrations—each corresponding to a different shade of blue or pink.
This is true of all graduated-color necklaces. In some cases, the graduation is essential, as in Green and Pink Tourmaline, which support masculine and feminine energy, respectively. For best effect, you need the gems to work at a wide range of vibratory levels. A solid-color Tourmaline would focus on just one aspect of masculinity or femininity, which could throw some people out of balance.
By working along the mental body continuum, these gems open up new compartments in your mind to receive nourishment that might otherwise go just to the more frequently used areas.
Some may find that the structural support the graduated Pink Sapphire provides feels more expansive, locating every emotional weakness and vulnerability and filling them in like water saturates a sponge. Pink Sapphire builds emotional structure, which can need shoring up when you’re feeling easily overwhelmed or uncomfortable in crowds and small spaces, when you find yourself carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, or when you’re having headaches that stem from a sense of pressure.
If you feel these gemstones calling to you and choose to act on it, you’ll own a treasure of the Earth that is truly one of a kind. And like all healing gemstones, this special necklace can continue to support you for the rest of your life.
