How to pick the right quality of Yellow Sapphire?

In India, Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) is widely used as an astrological stone due to its connect to Hindu tapestry. Sapphire is the birthstone of September and it is associated with Jupiter, the 'Guru' planet. While the astrologer may provide the weight of the Yellow Sapphire that needs to be worn, there are a variety of options from commercially priced Yellow Sapphires to High grade ones. So, what should you pick?


The answer is simple, pick according to your budget. Both commercial quality and high grade Yellow Sapphires are natural, so you can benefit from the healing properties.


Below is a commercial quality Yellow Sapphire. As you can see, the color is close to white and is too light. It is still a Yellow Sapphire, just of a lower quality.





Below is a medium quality Yellow Sapphire. The color is deeper as compared to the commercial quality.





Lastly is the fine quality intense color Yellow Sapphire as seen below






One main thing to consider while picking a Yellow Sapphire is to ask if it is heat treated. The heat treatment process enhances the color of Yellow Sapphire which may appear to be of a higher quality than it is. Usually, light yellow sapphires are heat treated to enhance their appearance. Naturally, heated stones would be priced lesser than an un-heat stone of the same color.


Fine grade yellow sapphires are an investment stone.
