Natural Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) – Weight 2.22 Carats – Origin Sri Lanka (Ceylon) – Rare Unheated & Untreated – Shape Cushion

Description

This 2.22 carat Natural Yellow Sapphire, known as Pukhraj, hails from the sapphire-rich mines of Sri Lanka (Ceylon), long regarded as a source of the finest sapphires in the world. Cut as a cushion with a faceted crown, the stone shows a gentle pale yellow tone with visible natural inclusions — a hallmark of genuine, unheated corundum rather than a lab-enhanced imitation.

Pukhraj holds deep significance in Vedic astrology, associated with 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 especially prized among those seeking an authentic gemstone for ring or pendant use.

Being natural and untreated, minor inclusions and a lightly included clarity are expected and are part of what confirms this stone’s authenticity — a trade-off many buyers seek out specifically for astrological purposes. This piece comes with the rarity of being both unheated and sourced from Ceylon, two of the most sought-after qualifiers in the sapphire trade.
