Sapphire
Sapphire Gemstone is a precious gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum composed of aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3) with trace elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, vanadium, and magnesium. The name sapphire comes from the Latin word ‘sapphirus’, derived from the Greek word ‘sappheiros’, which refers to lapis lazuli.
Who should wear sapphire?
Associated with karmic Saturn, the Blue Sapphire stone (Neelam) is recommended for those who are going through a difficult period of “Shani Sade Sati” or “Diamond” in their life. Because its effects are so powerful and immediate, Neelam gemstones should only be recommended by experienced astrologers with great caution.
In Indian Astrology Neelam Ratna is prescribed for Makar (Capricorn) and Kumba (Aquarius) Rasi.
