Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) is a precious variety of corundum admired for its attractive yellow to golden-yellow colour, brilliance and durability. Its yellow colour is primarily associated with trace amounts of iron within the corundum structure. Yellow Sapphire has a Mohs hardness of 9, making it suitable for rings, pendants, earrings and other jewellery designed for regular wear.

Quality Factors

The value and appearance of Yellow Sapphire are influenced mainly by colour, clarity, cut and carat weight. Bright, evenly distributed yellow colour, good transparency and an attractive cut can enhance the stone's appearance and value. Natural gemstones may contain inclusions, which should be evaluated together with colour, transparency and overall quality.

Treatment & Certification

Yellow Sapphire may be sold as heated or unheated, and treatment status should be clearly disclosed. Since natural, treated and laboratory-grown stones can sometimes appear similar, a reputable independent gemological certificate can help establish identity and treatment information.

Traditional Astrological Significance

In Vedic astrology, Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) is traditionally associated with Jupiter (Brihaspati/Guru). It is traditionally connected with wisdom, learning, prosperity and good fortune. These are traditional astrological beliefs and are not scientifically established effects.

Care Instructions

Clean the gemstone gently with mild soapy water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes. Store it separately from softer gemstones to reduce the possibility of scratches.
