The stone read as the word

Every coloured sapphire owes its colour to an impurity. White sapphire is the same mineral with none — the version where nothing extra got in. It is the rarest outcome, not the plainest.

Correct comes from com + regere, to rule all the way straight. This stone is what perfecting arrives at: the thing brought fully to plumb.

What it is carried for

  • Carried when the work is finally right and can be signed.
  • Held for standards kept all the way through, not mostly.
