Yellow Sapphire aka as Pokhraj is associated with the planet Jupiter (Guru or Brihaspati). It brings wisdom and intellect, financial prosperity and career growth, success in business and professional goals, and protection from negative influences by strengthening your Jupiter. Chemically, it is composed of Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) with trace amounts of Iron (Fe3+ ions) causing its yellow colour. Like other sapphires it has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale making it a durable gemstone. This Pokhraj is procured from Bangkok, Thailand. It is a genuine gemstone, but the colour aspect is artificially enhanced with heat to improve its visual vibrance and astrological significance. It appears richer in colour and more cloudier compared to natural ceylonese ones. It bears similar astrological benefit and suited as a budget friendly option and can also be considered when forging intricate jewellery pieces.
