Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)

Where Yellow Sapphire Is Found

Sri Lanka's Ratnapura region is the historic gold standard for yellow sapphire, often called "Ceylon Pukhraj." Also found in Madagascar, Thailand, Myanmar, and Tanzania.

Use

Yellow Sapphire is the gemstone of Guru (Brihaspati), Jupiter — governing wisdom, wealth, marriage, higher education, spirituality, and children. Widely considered the most benefic and "safe" gemstone to wear, since Jupiter is rarely a functional malefic in most charts.
