Yellow Sapphire Physical Properties

Pukhraj Ratna has a specific gravity of 3.9 to 4.1 and a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale. All the specimens of natural Yellow Sapphire stone are found in different shades of yellow ranging from pale yellow to golden yellow to canary or bright yellow. Unheated Yellow Sapphire stone gets its exquisite beauty from an amalgam of aluminium oxide with a hint of iron. The amount of iron defines the intensity of Kanakapushyaragam stone colour. The yellowish tint of Sapphire darkens with the increase in the amount of iron present in it and therefore you see a variation of yellow in the Yellow Sapphire color chart. The hardness of Yellow Sapphire is such that you can wear it for everyday use and proves to be an excellent gemstone for engagement rings. You can find a huge collection of original Yellow Sapphire engagement rings in rose gold, yellow gold, and white gold metals in different shapes and carat weights on our website. This gemstone requires gentle and normal care. Exposure to extreme temperatures, sudden temperature changes, ultrasonic cleaners, abrasions, and chemicals can damage the stone.

Yellow Sapphire Metaphysical Properties

Associated with the planet of principles of growth, prosperity, and good fortune - Jupiter, Yellow Sapphire birthstone rules Pisces and Saggitarius zodiac signs. The positive effects of wearing Pukhraj gemstone are best seen when it is worn for a minimum of 1/12th of the bodyweight. For example, a person weighing 60 kgs can wear a 5-carat Pukhraj ratna. It is recommended to wear Pukhraj jewelry on Thursday morning of Shukla Paksha on the index finger of the working hand. The effect of Yellow Sapphire jewelry is seen when it is worn in silver and gold metals, or in some cases, brass (panchdhatu), platinum, or white gold can also be used.

Yellow Sapphire Healing Properties

When it comes to gemstones, the first and foremost thing that comes to our minds is what healing benefits do they possess? Any type of Pukhraj, whether pale yellow, canary yellow, lemon yellow, or vivid yellow leaves no doubt of its beauty and importance as a jewel.

The powers of this precious astrological gemstone heal on physical and emotional levels. When it comes to physical healing, Pukhraj can be a very beneficial gemstone and has a calming effect on the wearer. In alternative healing therapies, Jupiter is known to govern the Solar Plexus Chakra in a person’s body. This chakra is located between the ribcage and navel and controls the immune and digestive systems.

When balanced physically, this gemstone has the strength to fight infections, cures allergic reactions, and is able to use the nutrients we ingest. When the Solar Plexus is out of balance, one can feel fear of disappointment or displeasure of others or tends to subordinate life and pleasures to the will of others. Spiritually, when the solar plexus is stable we are free to interpret the world through our own thoughts and emotions and not live in fear of violating the assertions of others. Wearing Yellow Sapphire improves willpower and concentration, helping people to observe their vision and materialize their goals.
