White Sapphire

By Shivraj Ratna

White Sapphire, known as Safed Pukhraj in Hindi and Shvet Vajra in Sanskrit, is a dazzling gemstone from the corundum family, treasured for its crystal-clear brilliance and versatile elegance. With its pure transparency and diamond-like sparkle, it is considered one of the most graceful stones for both ornamental and astrological purposes.
In Vedic astrology, White Sapphire is associated with the planet Venus (Shukra), the ruler of beauty, luxury, love, and creative expression. At ShivRaj Ratna, we provide only natural, untreated, and certified White Sapphires sourced from the finest mines across the globe, hand-selected for exceptional clarity, brilliance, and energy. Every stone is ethically procured and crafted to combine aesthetic beauty with potent planetary benefits.

About White Sapphire (Safed Pukhraj)

White Sapphire is a transparent variety of corundum composed primarily of aluminum oxide. Unlike its colored counterparts, it lacks noticeable trace elements that cause color, giving it a pure, colorless brilliance.

Known for its sparkling luster, White Sapphire has long been admired as a more affordable yet equally dazzling alternative to diamonds. Astrologically, it is believed to attract prosperity, romance, harmony, and artistic inspiration.

The stone’s clarity and hardness (9 on the Mohs scale) make it highly durable for daily wear, while its planetary association with Venus makes it ideal for those seeking to enhance charm, wealth, and creative abilities.

Origin of White Sapphire – Where Does It Come From?

White Sapphires are mined in several countries, each offering unique qualities:

  • Sri Lankan White Sapphires – Renowned for their exceptional transparency, brilliance, and minimal inclusions; considered the most premium variety.
  • Myanmar (Burma) White Sapphires – Highly transparent with warm brilliance and rarity.
  • Thai & Cambodian White Sapphires – Often well-cut and affordable, with moderate clarity.
  • Madagascar White Sapphires – Excellent luster with competitive pricing.

At ShivRaj Ratna, we specialize in sourcing Sri Lankan-origin Safed Pukhraj for their top clarity, brilliance, and astrological potency.
