Yellow Sapphire - Pukhraj

Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) is the gemstone of Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspati) — the Great Benefic planet governing wisdom, prosperity, spiritual growth, and higher education. A corundum mineral coloured yellow by iron and titanium traces, the finest Yellow Sapphires come from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and are prized for their bright, clear "cornflower" yellow hue. In Vedic astrology, Pukhraj is universally auspicious and is prescribed for Sagittarius (Dhanu) and Pisces (Meena) ascendants, those in Jupiter Mahadasha, or individuals seeking improvements in finances, marriage (for women), academic success, or spiritual development. Yellow Sapphire resonates with the Manipura (Solar Plexus) and Sahasrara (Crown) chakras. It supports liver health, promotes judicial thinking, and brings fame through righteous action. Ceylon Yellow Sapphire above 3 carats, free of inclusions, set in gold, and worn on the index finger of the right hand on a Thursday, energised with Jupiter Beej mantra (Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Guruve Namah).
