About Kashmir Blue Sapphire – The Himalayan Treasure

Kashmir Blue Sapphire belongs to the corundum mineral family and is prized for its unique “cornflower blue” hue — a rich, velvety blue with a hint of violet, unlike any other sapphire. The stone’s fine silk-like inclusions diffuse light softly, creating a captivating glow that seems to emanate from within.

This sapphire exhibits a medium to high hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it durable for everyday wear. Its rarity and exceptional quality have placed Kashmir Blue Sapphire in a league of its own among the world’s finest gemstones.

Origin of Kashmir Blue Sapphire – The Legendary Mines

Kashmir Blue Sapphire is exclusively mined from a small, high-altitude region in the Himalayas, in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The deposits were discovered in the late 19th century and are famed for producing sapphires with unparalleled color and texture.

Due to limited mining and exhaustion of major deposits by the mid-20th century, authentic Kashmir Blue Sapphires have become exceedingly rare, increasing their value and mystique.

Quality & Price Factors of Kashmir Blue Sapphire

The value of Kashmir Blue Sapphire depends on several key characteristics:

1.Color

The most prized Kashmir sapphires show a pure, velvety cornflower blue with slight violet undertones. Stones with a saturated yet soft blue without any zoning or overly dark patches command top prices.

2.Clarity

Kashmir sapphires often have fine, silky inclusions (rutile needles) that enhance their characteristic glow. Eye-clean stones with minimal visible inclusions are highly desirable.

3.Cut & Shape

Cushion and oval cuts are traditional and preferred, as they enhance the stone’s color and light dispersion. Expert cutting is crucial to preserve brilliance and depth.

4.Carat Weight

Larger Kashmir sapphires are extremely rare and exponentially more valuable, especially above 3 carats.

5.Origin

Authentic Kashmir provenance adds significant premium value, distinguishing these stones from sapphires from Sri Lanka, Burma, or Madagascar.

Price Range (Approximate) in India

  • Kashmir Blue Sapphire: ₹1,50,000 to ₹5,00,000+ per carat
    Prices vary widely based on color saturation, clarity, and carat weight.

Kashmir Blue Sapphire in Vedic Astrology – The Gemstone of Saturn

Kashmir Blue Sapphire is revered in Vedic astrology as the supreme stone for planet Saturn (Shani). It is believed to channel Saturn’s disciplined, protective energy with extraordinary power and grace:

  • Enhances mental clarity, focus, and decision-making. 
  • Promotes discipline, responsibility, and perseverance. 
  • Protects against negativity, accidents, and financial losses. 
  • Accelerates spiritual growth and karmic balance. 
  • Supports career advancement, especially in administration, law, and research.
