Consult a Gemologist
01 Why is White Sapphire (Safed Pukhraj) the preferred Vedic alternative to Diamond?

Both Diamond and White Sapphire channel the planetary energy of Venus (Shukra). Because natural White Sapphire belongs to the precious Corundum family (9.0 on the Mohs scale), it allows wearers to acquire a larger, eye-clean, 100% unheated astrological weight (5+ Ratti) with direct skin contact at a far more accessible value than a comparable natural diamond.

02 Should I choose an Unheated Ceylon White Sapphire for astrological wear?

Yes. For Vedic astrological purposes, an unheated, untreated Ceylon (Sri Lankan) White Sapphire with high transparency and lively brilliance is considered the purest conduit for Shukra’s benevolent energy.
