Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj), a vibrant yellow gemstone, is a member of the Corundum mineral family. Renowned in Vedic astrology, this gemstone holds significant importance and can be worn to enhance various aspects of life such as business, marriage, child conceiving, and career.

Yellow Sapphire, also known as Pukhraj, belongs to the Corundum mineral family and is a highly recognized gemstone in Vedic astrology. It is worn to counter the negative effects of planet Jupiter (Brihaspati), which can harm your financial and social status if placed unfavorably in your horoscope.

This gemstone is recommended to be worn on the index finger of the right hand on Thursdays. Jupiter or Guru (teacher) has the power to bless individuals in all aspects of life and can ward off various problems.

According to astrologers, Pukhraj is the most powerful stone among all navratnas and is considered a birthstone for those born in November. It is believed to bring good fortune in fields such as trade, law, research, analysis, and teaching. It can also aid in treating health conditions like jaundice, throat and kidney ailments, and help students in achieving a successful career.

Yellow Sapphire is mainly found in natural reserves of Sri Lanka or Ceylon. The natural reserves from this origin are the most authentic and highly priced due to their aluminum oxide composition and slight traces of iron that give Pukhraj its yellow color.

It is important to note that heated or treated gems are not genuine and may not yield the desired results. To ensure 100% natural Sri Lankan Yellow Sapphire, look for a reputable dealer like Astro Gems Lab that provides lab-certified gemstones and recommendations based on your horoscope. The price may vary based on the size of the Rashi Ratna.

Yellow Sapphire comes in various cuts such as faceted, cabochon, and shapes such as oval, cushion, round, and square. It is available in different shades of yellow like light, medium, and dark, and in different levels of transparency ranging from translucent to semi-transparent to transparent. It is certified by various institutes like IGI-GTL, IIGJ, and IGI.
