One of the four precious gemstones, sapphires are sourced from the corundum mineral. Sapphire is a stone believed to be good for attracting blessings, abundance, and gifts. Moreover, it is also used to calm the mind, protect against negative energies, invite spiritual clarity, and strengthen intuition. These stones are most commonly known for their striking color - blue, but they also appear in other colors - purple, pink, yellow, white, and green. Sapphires - Historical glance Sapphires and sapphire jewelry are often prominently found in numerous beliefs, past and present, but they have also been used for healing rituals and astrological prophecy throughout centuries. In the earlier days, it was believed that precious gemstones, including sapphires, had virtues that would benefit man. Hence sapphires have been famously known as a gemstone with a heavenly touch. What do Sapphires look like? Blue sapphires have remained popular and come in various colors and types. Although sapphires are naturally formed, they can possess certain flaws and inclusions. But these flaws are not to be taken as a drawback. These inclusions prove that the gemstone is genuine and unique, making them a good choice for jewelry. Moreover, in most cases, flawless sapphires are lab-created. Sapphires - What are they made of? Naturally formed Sapphires Sapphires are gemstones with origins in the mineral corundum - a crystallized form of aluminum oxide. Corundum usually forms in crystalline rocks containing different types of gemstones, according to other minerals present during its formation. This amalgamation then works together over thousand years to produce rare, beautiful, coveted gemstones such as sapphires. Lab-created sapphires While natural sapphires may take thousands of years to form correctly, technological advancement has led to the formation of sapphires much faster. These lab-created sapphires are formed from synthetic forms of corundum. Since natural and lab-created ones are extracted from the same mineral, the lab-created ones are similar to their visual appearance and hardness counterparts. However, lab-created sapphires are cheaper due to their faster creation and reduced rarity. The top 4 factors to be considered while buying sapphire jewelry: When purchasing sapphire jewelry, one must look at various factors. Some of these include: Color The most important factor during the buying process is the color of the sapphire. However, one must also check for the measurements of hue, saturation, and tone to ensure the gemstones are not colorless, dull, or gray. Hue The hue of a sapphire usually describes the gemstone's balance of color. For instance, in blue sapphires, one can call it an intense purple, slight purple, slight green, or strong green. Furthermore, the closer one gets to the "true" blue, the more expensive the gemstone gets. Tone and saturation The tone of the sapphire describes how light or dark the stone is. This may range from very light to very dark. If one wishes to choose a sapphire, the medium to the dark range is the best choice as the look of the lighter sapphires is more watered down. Finally, the saturation tells the vibrancy of the color - ranging from weak/dull to vivid. Hence, it's important to remember that the most desired sapphires will possess a highly saturated and vivid color without any areas of brown or gray. How to buy a suitable Sapphire - Which type to choose? When most people hear sapphire, the extremely popular blue comes to mind. But the stone does come in different colors, and the price of this precious gemstone often depends upon its color. Hence, here are some of the types of sapphires to choose from. Blue Sapphire One of the most desired and popular colors (in sapphires), blue, is mined in various locations, and the different environments produce varied results. For instance, some countries are known for some of the clearest cornflower blue sapphires, and others are famous for producing lighter green ones. This type of sapphire comes in a range of blue shades and is known to be one of the finest precious gems in the world. Some blue sapphires are teal sapphire, Ice blue sapphire, and corn blue sapphire. White Sapphire White sapphires are known to be colorless and contain no trace elements. This precious gemstone is extremely rare; most lab-created ones have removed traces. White stands for joy, purity, and mental clarity and can be bought as an excellent alternative to a diamond engagement ring. Pink Sapphire Pink or red sapphires are the perfect choices for romantics, as the stones symbolize love and compassion. Earlier, pink sapphires were a rare find, but due to a large deposit, this gemstone has become incredibly popular. The colors of the stone can range from pastel pink to hot pink, and the more intense ones have only grown in the form of sapphire jewelry pieces. Conclusion Buying a Sapphire involves fewer technicalities than buying a Diamond, as the latter is sought-after for its brilliance, while the former is treasured for its color. Unlike diamonds, sapphires and other gemstones do not have a grading standard due to their variety in colors and characteristics. With so many different types of sapphires available, one can choose the best according to their personality, the stone's meaning, and color.

Migraines headaches often occur with nausea, vomiting, and hypersensitivity to light. They can last from 4 hours to 3 days and occasionally longer. As per The National Headache Foundation, around 28 million Americans a prone to migraine headaches, with women getting it more than men. The reasons of migraine headaches are not transparently understood. Earlier, it was intended that a migraine originated with a spasm or limited closing of the arteries, thereby directing to the main part of the brain (known as cerebrum). The first spasm reduces blood availability to part of the brain, which begins the aura (lights, haze, zig-zag lines, or other indications) that some people undergo. These same arteries then get to be relaxed, which increases the flow of blood and develops pain. It was then found that dopamine and serotonin chemicals were starting to play a role in migraine headaches. (These are called neurotransmitters.) Dopamine and serotonin are usually found in the brain, but they can cause blood vessels to act in uncharacteristic methods if they exist in uncommon amounts or if the blood vessels are irregularly sensitive to them. These 2 theories are combined to known as the neurovascular theory of migraine headaches, and it is currently trusted that both theories give insight into the migraine headaches causes. Different triggers are anticipated to be one of the main migraine headaches causes in people who are susceptible to developing them. Different people have various triggers. - Smoking has been recognized as a trigger for multiple people. - Some foods, like chocolate, cheese, nuts, alcohol, and monosodium glutamate (MSG), may boost migraine headaches. (MSG is a taste maker used in lots of foods, inclusive of Chinese dishes.) - Avoiding a meal or changing the strategy of sleep may develop a headache. - Stress, tension, increased emotional, or physical stress also cause migraines in some people. - Contraceptives (birth control medicines) are a common trigger. Women may have migraines towards the end of a pill cycle as the estrogen part of the pill is terminated. This is noticed as estrogen-withdrawal headache. - Getting addicted to caffeine or taking away from it may cause headaches. - Weather change like biometric pressure change and altitude change also trigger migraine headaches.
