Yellow Sapphire — The Stone of Jupiter

Yellow Sapphire, traditionally known as Pukhraj, is a variety of corundum coloured by trace elements such as iron. Fine stones are prized for their vivid yellow to golden hues, transparency, and natural brilliance. Important sapphire-producing regions include Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Tanzania, and parts of Southeast Asia.

In Vedic astrology, Yellow Sapphire is associated with Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspati) and is traditionally worn as a gemstone connected with wisdom, learning, prosperity, and spiritual growth. Its suitability is determined according to an individual's birth chart rather than simply by preference.
