Yellow Sapphire — known as Pukhraj, Pita Mani, Pushparagam or Guru Ratna — is the most powerful gemstone of Jupiter (Guru / Brihaspati) in Vedic astrology. It belongs to the corundum mineral family, same as Blue Sapphire (Neelam). Price ranges from ₹2,000 to ₹50,000+ per carat depending on color, quality and origin.
In Vedic Jyotish, Jupiter governs wisdom, wealth, marriage, children and spiritual growth. A Ceylon Sri Lanka mines direct natural untreated Yellow Sapphire is the most astrologically effective choice.

🚫 Yellow Topaz — Most Common Fraud
Looks identical, costs ₹100–500/ct. Zero Guru effect. Routinely sold as Pukhraj at ₹15,000–25,000+. IGI must say "Yellow Sapphire".
🚫 Glass / Synthetic Sapphire
Lab-created looks like natural. Price ₹200–1,000/ct. Zero Guru energy. Only buy IGI/GIA certified — verify on lab's website.
⚠️ Bangkok Treated Stone
Beryllium treated — looks premium. IGI will say "Beryllium Treated" or "Heated". Always read certificate carefully.
✅ Safe Solution
Only buy IGI/GIA certified natural. Verify certificate on lab's website. Ask for Ceylon mines direct origin proof.
