September's birthstones are lapis, sapphire, and kyanite, with kyanite being a more affordable alternative to sapphire.

The word sapphire comes from the Greek word sappheiros meaning "blue color," though sapphires naturally occur in a rainbow of color beyond the traditional blue hue. The precious stone is one of wisdom and royalty and is believed to bring protection, good fortune, and spiritual insight. Sapphire is said to restore balance, aligning the physical, mental, and spiritual planes, bringing serenity and peace of mind. It is also known as a "stone of prosperity," attracting gifts of all kinds and fulfilling dreams and desires. 

Kyanite is known for manifesting high energy. It helps the owner avoid feelings of disgust, confusion, envy, horror and sadness. Kyanite got its name from the Greek word 'kuanos,' which means deep blue. Many people claim that the energy flowing out of the stone feels like floating on a sea of vitality.

Lapis Lazuli is one of the most sought after stones in use since man's history began. Its deep, celestial blue remains the symbol of royalty and honor, gods and power, spirit and vision. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth. Lapis is said to encourage self-awareness and confidence, promoting self-expression and revealing inner truth. The stone is also thought to encourage creativity
