september birthstone - sapphire

by Classic Charms

Sapphire is the modern birthstone for the month of September. Sapphire is a variety of corundum, and comes in all colors of the rainbow except red (the red variety is known to most as Ruby). Typically sapphires are blue, and range in all shades of blue from pale blue to deep indigo blue, and is due to the presence of small amounts of titanium and iron within the crystal structure.

Here I thought I was doing my momly duty and protecting my sweet baby from harmful rays, when I was slowly poisoning him to death. As Babble’s Heather Turgeon reports , “one of the chemicals under closest scrutiny is oxybenzone, used in over half the sunscreens on the market.   But apparently some of the most widely-used chemicals in sunblock could be harmful to, not only our babies’ but our own health.
