The finest blue sapphires display a deep, vivid royal blue color. Stones that are too dark or too light are less valued.

Blue sapphires are usually clear but may have slight inclusions which do not affect the gem’s brilliance or transparency.

Blue sapphires are available in various shapes, including ovals, cushions, and emerald cuts. A well-cut sapphire enhances its brilliance and maximizes the beauty of its color.

Blue sapphires are mainly sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar (Burma). Thailand (Bangkok) also produce treated sapphires, but untreated Sri Lankan ones are ideal for astrology.

RECOMMENDATIONS
  • The blue sapphire should be set in silver, panchdhatu or sometimes white gold depending on the wearer's horoscope.

  • The ring should be cleansed in a mixture of raw milk, honey and Ganga jal before wearing, and then energized by chanting the mantra:

    • Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah - ॐ शं शनिचराय नमः (108 times).

  • Important Note: Blue Sapphire is a powerful and fast-acting gemstone. It is highly recommended to test-wear it for 3 days (as a trial) before wearing it permanently, under the guidance of a qualified astrologer. It may bring strong effects—positive or negative—depending on individual horoscopes.
