Natural Purple Sapphire (Khooni Neelam) – Weight 0.79 Carat – Rare Unheated & Untreated – Ceylon (Sri Lanka) – Shape Oval

Description

This 0.79 carat Natural Purple Sapphire, known as Khooni Neelam, comes from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), long celebrated as home to some of the world’s finest sapphires. Cut as a well-proportioned oval, the stone displays a rich violet-purple color with natural inclusions and fine internal patterning visible under light — a clear marker of genuine, unheated corundum rather than a treated or synthetic stone.

Khooni Neelam holds a distinct place in Vedic astrology, often associated with Saturn (Shani) in its purple form and considered a powerful, fast-acting stone. Because this stone is completely unheated and untreated, it retains its full natural energetic and astrological value, making it a meaningful choice for ring or pendant use among those seeking an authentic gemstone.

Being natural and untreated, visible inclusions and an included clarity grade are expected, and are in fact part of what confirms this stone’s authenticity — a trade-off many buyers specifically seek out for astrological purposes. This piece carries the rare distinction of being both unheated and Ceylon-sourced, two of the most valued qualifiers in the sapphire trade.
