Q)
Which is a better alternative: Thailand Yellow Sapphire or Citrine, if one
cannot afford the Sri Lankan Yellow Sapphire?
When
faced with budget limitations, the Thailand Yellow Sapphire is the preferred
choice. Citrine, though a worthy alternative, is considered a substitute and
typically less potent than the natural Yellow Sapphire. Since Citrine is a
replacement, it may take a little longer to manifest its astrological benefits.
However, for those on a tighter budget, Citrine still provides valuable
astrological support.
Q)
How should Citrine be worn for optimal astrological benefits? Is it the same as
wearing Yellow Sapphire?
Absolutely!
Both Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) and Citrine (Sunela) are linked with Jupiter and
follow the same procedure for wearing. To ensure maximum astrological benefits,
you can refer to our detailed guide on How to Wear Yellow Sapphire. The process
remains consistent for Citrine as well, aligning with the energy of Jupiter.
Q)
Where is the best place to buy Citrine stones?
When
purchasing Citrine, it's important to choose trusted vendors to ensure you're
buying untreated, natural stones, ideal for astrological use. Always look for a
supplier that provides a lab certificate to confirm the authenticity of the
gemstone. A reliable vendor will also offer clear pricing and a transparent
return policy.
Q)
What is the cost of Citrine?
The
value of a Citrine gemstone is determined by factors such as color, clarity,
cut, carat weight, and origin. High-quality Citrine, with a rich yellow hue and
excellent transparency, typically costs around Rs 400 per carat (approximately
$6). The majority of top-grade Citrine comes from Brazil. Citrines with
lighter, pale-yellow shades are priced lower, usually around Rs 200 per carat
(approximately $3).
