Natural Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) – Weight 1.66 Carats – Origin Sri Lanka (Ceylon) – Rare Unheated & Untreated – Shape Cushion

Description

This 1.66 carat Natural Yellow Sapphire, known as Pukhraj, comes from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), long celebrated as home to some of the world’s finest sapphires. Cut as an elongated cushion with a well-faceted crown, the stone displays a mostly pale, near-colorless body with a distinct patch of golden-yellow color and natural inclusions visible under light — a clear marker of genuine, unheated corundum rather than a treated or synthetic stone.

Pukhraj holds deep significance in Vedic astrology, linked to the planet Jupiter (Guru) and traditionally worn to attract wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. 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.
