Tonight’s Stone: Sapphire
“The Azure Jewel Reflecting the Stillness of the Deep Sea”
First, let me introduce a cocktail that pairs well with sapphire. Tonight’s recommendation is the ‘Blue Hawaii.’ This tropical drink, made with rum, vodka, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut, features a deep blue color and a refreshing taste, reminiscent of swimming in the sea. Its attractive color and fruity flavor evoke the beauty of sapphire, promising a blissful moment.
Sapphire is a precious gemstone known for its vivid blue color. It’s a variety of the mineral corundum, and its beautiful blue is primarily due to the presence of iron and titanium impurities. Since ancient times, sapphire has been known as the ‘stone of wisdom,’ symbolizing truth and sincerity. With its high hardness and durability, it has long been cherished by royalty and nobility worldwide. Its allure lies not only in its beauty but also in its deep historical and cultural significance.
For tonight, we have prepared a fitting piece of music: Johann Strauss II’s ‘The Blue Danube.’ This lively and elegant waltz, inspired by the shimmering flow of the Danube River, musically represents the deep and graceful beauty of sapphire. ‘The Blue Danube,’ with its flowing melody, harmonizes with the noble and serene charm of sapphire, inviting listeners into the tranquil world of the deep sea. The choice of this piece reflects the beautiful overlap between the deep blue of sapphire and the luminosity of the Danube River.（Classical Music Sound Library）
There’s an interesting anecdote about sapphire. In ancient Persia, it was believed that sapphire reflected the blueness of the heavens. They thought the blue sky was actually the reflection of a gigantic sapphire, and thus revered this stone immensely. In medieval Europe, sapphires were considered amulets that protected against evil, occupying a particularly high status among gemstones. Such tales about sapphire show that its exceptional beauty is not only visual but also brings hope and reassurance to people’s hearts.
