White Sapphire (Safed Pukhraj) Gemstone

WHITE SAPPHIRE STONE MEANING: PROPERTIES, BENEFITS, HEALING POWERS

The White Sapphire stone is a colourless Sapphire gemstone. In Hindi, it is known as Safed Pukhraj in India. It is a precious and popular gemstone for jewellery because of its similarity in appearance to a diamond. So, if you are wearing White Sapphire Earrings, it will be almost impossible for onlookers to tell the difference, and they will easily admire the Diamonds in your Earrings. The silvery sheen and shine make it a coveted stone for all types of White Sapphire jewellery, as it looks awesome. The colourless White Sapphire looks beautiful with any other coloured gemstone, which is another reason for its demand in the jewellery industry. It has deep healing properties when worn for that purpose.

White Sapphire gemstone is significant in Vedic Astrology, as it carries the vibrations of the planet Neptune, and is said to be a Planet with intuitive powers, spirituality, creative imagination, esoteric wisdom, etc. The spiritual vibrations of the Planet are high, and not everyone can harness them.

Natural White Sapphires are quite rare, and the gemstone market sells lab-created White Sapphire, which is difficult to be detected by untrained eyes. The more colourless it is, the more valuable it gets. The natural White Sapphire gemstone belongs to the mineral Corundum family and consists of Aluminium Oxide with traces of Chromium, Iron, Vanadium, Magnesium, or Titanium. The colored Sapphire stones are more easily found than the Safed Pukhraj stone, as only pure Corundum is colorless, which is rare to find. White Sapphire hardness is 9 on the Mohs scale, therefore, making it the second hardest gemstone which is an advantage in crafting rough White Sapphire into White Sapphire jewelry.

White Sapphire stones from Sri Lanka are prized most in the gemstone market due to the extraordinary clarity and large size stone. Thailand, Burma, Tanzania, Cambodia, and Australia are other countries in which the Safed Pukhraj is mined.

White Star Sapphire - Another attractive aspect of the White Sapphire stone is the few White Star Sapphire that is available. The White Star Sapphire are White Sapphire stones that give a reflection of 6 rays when light falls on it from a precise angle. Known as Asterism, this is an optical phenomenon, which takes place due to the presence of very fine needle-like or rather silk thread-like inclusions in the gemstone, that reflect the mesmerizing six rays, a star-like pattern when light hits it from a certain angle. The White Star Sapphire is very rarely available and therefore are highly valued.

HISTORY OF WHITE SAPPHIRE STONE

White Sapphire gemstone was discovered on the island of Naxos by the ancient Greeks. They associated it with Apollo, the Sun, and Light God and used to be offered to Pythia, the priestess of prophecies.

Throughout history, it has been used for protection, fortune, and spiritual insights. It has been the epitome of power, strength, kindness, and wise judgment.

WHITE SAPPHIRE ASTROLOGY

White Sapphire stone for which Planet?

In Vedic Astrology, the White Sapphire stone is valued as it is connected with Planet Neptune. Astronomically it is the farthest planet from the Sun. Astrologically Neptune is a planet of intuitive power, psychic abilities, spiritual quest, mysticism, creative imaginations, inspiration, rules fantasy, magic, and romance, creating illusions which make it difficult to differentiate between the truth and fiction, confusion, dreams, and hope. Discovered in 1864, Planet Neptune in Vedic Astrology is called Varun, the God of Water.

If Neptune is placed favourably in the Birth Chart or Kundli of an individual, the person may be intuitive, have high psychic abilities, spiritual, religious, and esoteric knowledge, spiritual awareness and connection to Cosmic realms, will be imaginative, create ideas, can be involved in writing or making videos/films on fantasy subjects and can be practising occult science. With strong Neptune in horoscope, the native can be a Magician, Writer, Fisherman, Fortune teller, Psychic healer, Actor, and other such associated professions.

With an imbalanced Neptune in the birth chart, it can lead to confusion, chaos, living an illusion and a fantasy world, melodrama, escapism, the person may be overindulging in drugs or alcohol, abnormal sex, sexual abuse, hallucination and can even be a drug peddler.

Usually, diseases caused by Planet Neptune are caused due to depression. For every problem, the Universe provides a solution. The best remedy for malefic Neptune is RRST (Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy), wearing suitable Rudraksha, Gemstones, and getting a consultation from Rudra Centre.

The White Sapphire gemstone is advised to be worn by Vedic Astrologers to nullify the malefic effects of Neptune.

Lab-created White Sapphire is more than common in the gemstone market, so buy White Pukhraj from a trusted reputed jeweller or gemstone dealer. Safed Pukhraj stone should be energized before wearing for it to give the desired effect.

IMPORTANCE OF ORIGINAL WHITE SAPPHIRE STONE

To get the optimum Astrological benefits of White Sapphire to the wearer, a gemstone must be in its natural state. This means it should not have been subjected to heat treatment. Generally, Sapphires are heated to enhance their colour quality, whereas white Sapphires are heated to get colour fade and render them White. But heating damages the inner value and quality of gemstones. Untreated gemstones that are naturally authentic tend to provide better results. Lab-grown White Sapphire or Synthetic White Sapphire, surreptitiously resemble the natural gemstone and are sold openly in the gemstone market. Caution is warranted as these lab-created White Sapphire is not detectable to the common eye, and they do not serve to be worn for Astrological remedy. Buy White Sapphire stone from a place that will provide a genuine Certificate of authentication.

Rudra Centre offers flawless, untreated, eye-clean, brilliant, lustrous, Vedic Astrology-approved superior quality, natural White Sapphire stone, of various sizes and different cuts. Our gemstones are pre-energized and ready to use. We provide the best price of White Sapphire in the market.

WEARING WHITE SAPPHIRE GEMSTONE WITH RUDRAKSHA

Wearing a combination of Gemstones and Rudraksha is the best way to make the most of it. Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy® (RRST®) devised by Neeta Singhal, uses White Sapphire gemstone and Rudraksha beads. It is a holistic healing therapy that uses the curative and healing properties of Rudraksha and Gemstones to balance and energize chakras. In RRST, we deal only with natural and untreated gemstones. The reason Rudraksha Ratna Science Therapy is widely acclaimed by many is that it works on chakras, the very basis of life, and is a holistic therapy that heals from deep within with absolutely no side effects. In the RRST setting of a gemstone, as a ring or as a pendant, the bhasma made of the planetary herb is kept inside one tube, and the metal that improves the planetary effects is kept in another tube. The gemstone is then energized with its precise seed mantra on a specific day to empower it to eliminate all the malefic effects of the planet and reinforce its beneficial effects. Thus the gemstone becomes a powerful talisman suitable to be worn by any person irrespective of his/her birth chart.

RECOMMENDING A GEMSTONE BASED ON RRST

During the consultation, the blocked chakras that are causing the mental, emotional and physical issues are identified, and limiting beliefs are addressed. Chakras become imbalanced when your thoughts and attitudes tend towards fears and negativity when facing challenging situations in life. Blocked Chakras manifest emotional disorders and physical ailments. It is only after blocked Chakras are balanced and activated that you can transform your life of suffering, obstacles, and confusion into love, success, and happiness. As per the chakra status and concerns of the client, a suitable combination of Gemstones and Rudraksha beads is recommended. As per the cosmic colour they emit, the gemstones work on specific chakras. White Sapphire works on Sahasrara Chakra and the RRST Consultant identifies the correct finger position for drawing maximum energy from the stone. Rudraksha and Gems are powerful agents of energy and work on releasing the negative energy stored in the form of stress in the blocked chakras, thereby activating them and tuning them to their natural state.

SAHASRARA (CROWN) CHAKRA

Located on the top of the head, Sahasrara Chakra, known as the “Thousand-Petalled Lotus”, can be said to be the door to the Divine. This Chakra is the seat of Medha Shakti that sustains your cerebral functions like memory, concentration, thinking, and intelligence. Sahasrara Chakra is intimately connected with the Divine Light which is connected with our soul or our divine body. This Chakra denotes our thoughts, actions, and acts of faith and worship. In this Chakra, a person attains internal awareness through meditation and prayers. This chakra cuts off all attachment to the world. An opened Sahasrara Chakra means the ultimate liberation from all illusions.

This Chakra is the purest divine light having no colour but contains the base of all colours. It is the Chakra that acts as fear personified for ignorance. It is the goal of a Yogi wherein the mind finally comes to a complete stillness and finds fulfilment in experiencing the Divine.

With an imbalanced Sahasrara Chakra, a person fails to see the true meaning of life and loses faith or belief in the Divine. He or she thinks there is no one up there to control or guide them. Also, they suffer from migraines, tension, headaches, etc.

A balanced Sahasrara Chakra means a stronger connection with the Higher powers. The most important part is one becomes enlightened and feels grateful to everyone around and the Divine. The aim of the Sahasrara Chakra is self-knowledge, contentment, and gratitude from within.

WHITE SAPPHIRE VS DIAMOND

There is a common comparison between the White Sapphire and Diamond, due to their similarity in color and high luster. There is a difference between the two stones in sparkle, with natural Diamond winning the race. However, the differences are not very noticeable for the untrained eyes or the normal buyer. On the Mohs scale, White Sapphire Gemstone has a rating of nine while Diamond has a rating of 10. The White Sapphire Gemstone is the second hardest natural mineral found on earth. Diamonds are scratch-resistant, which is not the case with White Sapphire. However, though White Sapphire has many healing properties, including astrological benefits, Diamonds have more to give in comparison and are way more expensive than White Sapphire on a per-carat basis. Because of cost factors, Diamonds remain out of reach for many who desire to wear them. This is the reason White Sapphire is popular as gemstone jewellery.
