All you need to know:
The tradition of associating gemstones with specific months as birthstones dates back thousands of years, with roots in incidental and religious texts.
Sapphire is the birthstone of September because of its association with the autumn sky. It has long been associated with royalty and romance for centuries. In ancient Greece and Rome, rulers believed blue sapphires protected them from danger. During the Middle Ages, clergy wore sapphires to represent the heavens and to attract heavenly blessings. The Ancient Persians believed that the earth rested on a giant sapphire that made the sky blue. People in ancient times would wear brilliant blue sapphire gems when seeking answers for the oracles or enlightenment.
Beyond its religious connections, Sapphire was also linked to astrological beliefs. Ancient astrologers believed that wearing Sapphire for people whose birth or zodiac sign would bring good fortune, health, and protection. Sapphire is considered a powerful and protective stone if you are born in September under the zodiac signs of Virgo and Libra.
Sapphires are mined mainly in Eastern Australia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, Madagascar, East Africa, and Montana.
