YELLOW SAPPHIRE

YELLOW SAPPHIRE

Classified as a semi-precious stone, Yellow Sapphire is a kind of sapphire, and it is a member of the Corundum family, like Rubies. Yellow sapphire gets its characteristic yellow hue from the tiny amounts of iron within its chemical structure. An admirable yellow sapphire should be transparent with a surface that sparkles and flatters the colour of sunset. What distinguishes yellow sapphire from other sapphires is its high quality and the absence of visible inclusions. Yellow sapphire is mined in Serendip, on the Sri Lanka island, where it was first discovered by people who witnessed the stones being washed down by rain. This event led to the origin of the word "serendipity". Other yellow sapphire mines include Australia, India, Tanzania, and Madagascar. Today's largest yellow sapphire mined is called "Tomahawk Tiger," weighing about 2020 carats.

The ancients called yellow sapphire 'Hyacinth', but it was known as "padparadscha" in Sinhalese and Sanskrit. The stone has a special place in Ved and Indian astrology, and it is named "Pukhraj", which means yellow stone. It was believed to divert light and peace and wisdom on its wearer. According to Hindu beliefs, it is the stone of the planet Jupiter, called the Deva Guru, the teacher of gods. That's why yellow sapphire is usually believed to actuate a person towards happiness, wisdom and fulfilment. It is also associated with life, fertility and marriage.
