Yellow Sapphire — Pukhraj — is the astrological stone of Jupiter and one of the most respected gemstones in South Asia. Here is what it is believed to do and who traditionally wears it.
What is Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)?
It is the golden-yellow variety of corundum (the same family as ruby and sapphire), with a hardness of 9. In Vedic astrology it represents Jupiter (Brihaspati), the planet of wisdom and fortune.
Benefits of Wearing Pukhraj
In tradition, Pukhraj is worn to strengthen Jupiter and is associated with wisdom, prosperity, career growth, and happiness in marriage. It is one of the most commonly recommended stones for those seeking stability and good fortune.
Who Should Wear Yellow Sapphire?
Pukhraj is traditionally recommended for people with a well-placed or favourable Jupiter, or during its planetary period. Because gemstone effects depend on your birth chart, always consult a qualified astrologer before wearing one.
How to Wear Pukhraj
It is usually set in gold and worn on the index finger. Choose a natural, clean, evenly-coloured stone of the right weight for your chart.
