About Pitambri Neelam – The Golden Blue Sapphire

Pitambri Neelam is a corundum variety, closely related to the traditional Blue Sapphire but with a distinct golden or yellow tint that sets it apart. The name “Pitambri” stems from the Sanskrit word “Pitambara,” meaning “wearer of yellow garments,” symbolizing the gem’s brilliant golden hues.

While the classic Blue Sapphire is deep indigo to royal blue, Pitambri Neelam exudes warmth and light with shades ranging from pale yellow to rich honey-gold, often interspersed with blue flashes. This duality imbues the wearer with both Saturn’s grounding energy and Jupiter’s benevolence.

With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, Pitambri Neelam is extremely durable and suitable for daily wear as an astrological talisman or fine jewelry.
