Original White Sapphire
Steeped
in history, White Sapphire is often celebrated as the 'Stone of Gods.' Revered
for its associations with prosperity, confidence, health, and marital harmony,
this gemstone holds a timeless appeal. Known for its colorless brilliance, it
is called 'Shvet Pukhraj' in Sanskrit, 'White Pukhraj' or 'Safed Pukhraj' in
Hindi, and 'Leuco Sapphire' in English.
In Vedic astrology, the original white pukhraj stone is considered an astrological substitute for diamonds. For generations, it has been the gemstone of choice for royalty, with kings and queens favoring its power and beauty. The entire sapphire family is said to possess heavenly powers that protect the wearer and bring earthly pleasures.
Composed of mineral corundum, also known as aluminum oxide, White Sapphire is the purest form of corundum, free from traces of other elements, which gives it its colorless appearance. In the world of jewelry, artisans often seek affordable White Sapphire stones to create oversized statement pieces, a challenge when working with diamonds. Additionally, the metaphysical properties of natural White Sapphire have been revered for centuries, and it has been used in talismans for protection against evil forces.

Sapphire Meaning
White
Sapphire or Safed Pukhraj in Hindi is astrologically associated with the
brightest planet ‘Venus’. According to Vedic astrology, the presence of weak
Venus in the Kundli causes financial, professional and personal issues. It is
said that wearing a safed pukhraj strengthens Venus in the Kundli and helps the
native to overcome the weak circumstances of life. The Vedic Astrology mentions
the association of White Sapphire stone with the chakra system of our human
body. It is believed to be connected to the crown chakra of the body or the
sahashara chakra. This chakra connects us with larger consciousness and attunes
our body with the greater cosmic frequency.

Sapphire Stone Quality

which significantly impacts the quality and price of the Safed Pukhraj. By
evaluating these parameters, one can determine the value, quality, and
authenticity of the White Sapphire gemstone.

Pukhraj Buyer Beware Guidelines
Determining
the price and quality of a gemstone involves considering several factors, as
outlined earlier. However, it is equally important to ensure that precious and
expensive gemstones are not purchased from just anywhere. Thorough research is
essential before making a purchase. The clarity of a White Sapphire gemstone is
assessed based on the number, size, location, and angle of natural
imperfections or inclusions. Most white sapphires are lightly or heavily
included, with visible inclusions. A White Sapphire with see-through clarity or
inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye is rare and significantly more
expensive.

committed to maintaining. We not only provide genuine gemstones but also offer
gem lab certificates to verify the quality and authenticity of our stones.
