  Generally speaking, yes. For the moment though, I can only point you
in the direction of:

   http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Sapphire

   But, there are known Sapphires that are yellow and other various
rare colours, like pink, etc.

No I meant: are sapphire and sapphic from the same root?

   Quite possibly, but I doubt it. Not sure. I'll try and look it up
and let you know. When I've got time, of course...  ;)

I don't believe so.  Sapphire is a Hebrew word (I recalled from my old 
seminary days, and confirmed via Google.)

http://homepage.boku.ac.at/h9440283/eetymol.htm

"Sapphic" is from the poet Sappho of Lesbos, who I don't believe was Hebrew.

If the... *people?* in the first image are drowning, shouldn't there be 
bubbles and struggles?
