As topaz was associated with the sun, and both Apollo and Zeus were solar deities. The ancient Greeks believed that topaz rendered the wearer invisible, gave great strength to whomsoever wore the stone, and was also worn as an amulet to ward off enchantment. The ancient Greeks also believed that wearing topaz would dispel sadness and strengthen the wearer’s intellect. Both the Greeks and Romans greatly valued topaz as a gemstone. Ancient Romans credited topaz with preventing sickness of the chest and abdominal pain. Both Julius Caesar and his heir Octavian Augustus held Apollo in special reverence. Augustus credited Apollo with his victory of Marc Antony, and erected a magnificent temple to Apollo at Actium overlooking the site of the famous naval battle, as well as an even grander temple on the Palatine in Rome.

DETAIL: Many archaeo-linguists believe that the name sapphire is derived from its association with the planet and ancient deity Saturn(the name can be roughly translated to mean“dear to Saturn” in many different languages) In ancient Rome Saturn was a major god presiding over agriculture and the harvest time. His reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace by many Roman authors. A mythical age when Saturn was said to have ruled. In remembrance and celebration of that age, a great(week-long) feast called Saturnalia was held throughout the Roman Empire during the winter months around the time of the winter solstice. It is thought that the festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia were the roots of the carnival(Mardi Gras" in the USA) Roman depictions of Saturn generally showed the god with a sickle in his left hand and a bundle of wheat in his right. In the medieval world Saturn was known as the Roman god of agriculture, justice and strength. Here are two gorgeous. Richly colored natural dark blue sapphire precious

Exceptionally Well Preserved ... moreGenuine 19th Century Qing Dynasty Chinese Blue and Celadon Green(Ming” Style) Porcelain Snuff Bottle. CLASSIFICATION: Blue and Green Porcelain Snuff Bottle. ATTRIBUTION: Ancient China. Qing Dynasty, 19th Century. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Height: 58 millimeters(2 1/3 inches) including stopper) Breadth: 40 millimeters(1 5/8 inches) Thickness: 26 millimeters(1+ inches) CONDITION: Exceptionally good. Almost perfectly preserved. A little wear consistent with any household item which is 150 or 200 years old. Not flawless, but certainly in an excellent state of preservation. DETAIL: A very cute. Splendidly preserved traditional cobalt blue on celadon green porcelain snuff bottle so wonderfully characteristic of late Ming/early Qing Dynasty artwork. The“Celadon Green” underglaze is one of the most celebrated styles of ceramic/porcelain glaze in the history of ancient China, originating thousands of years ago. The idyllic depiction is that of a floral arrangement, a classic and traditional theme. The glaze is entirely intact, the celadon green underglaze as well as the vibrant cobalt blue, and the condition of the snuff bottle, including the porcelain stopper, is virtually perfect. There is very little of the crackling/crazing of the glaze which so oftentimes afflicts antique porcelain and ceramic finishes. There is of course a little minor wear– we’re not saying it is as when new. But this is as good as one can reasonably expect of a porcelain snuff bottle somewhere around 150 or 200 years old. It’s not perfect, but it is about as close to perfect as you will ordinarily find of an authentic 19th century porcelain snuff bottle like this, and there are no repairs. Of course realistically one would expect some blemishes after being used for several hundred years, and there are no surprises here except that there are so few blemishes. There are of course a few

One day Apollo and Hyacinth were throwing a discus. Forgetting Hyacinth was merely mortal, Apollo threw the discus with all his strength. When Hyacinth tried to catch the discus it killed him. Drops of Hyacinth’s blood fell to the ground and colored by Apollo’s tears, became hyacinth flowers. Petrified, the flowers became hyacinth(zircon) gemstones.
