Flaws to avoid in Yellow Sapphire

Even though the sacred texts list several flaws and the resultant bad effects of such flaws I am listing some basic negative flaws that should be avoided absolutely. These can bring bad luck, ill health, loss of wealth and in some cases very adverse results.

- Avoid Yellow Sapphires with a black dot like inclusion inside.

- Avoid Yellow Sapphires that have shade difference. Two shades of Yellow in the same sapphires.

- Avoid Yellow Sapphires with web like inclusions inside.

- Avoid Yellow sapphires that lack lustre and color.

- Absolutely avoid treated Gems.

What to Shun Totally:

A big anomaly of unethical trade is the mass marketing of Diffused Thai Yellow Sapphires as Kanaka Pushya Raga. This is the biggest problem especially in Southern part of India such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and some sectors in Western India especially Mumbai. These are petrol colored Sapphires that give zero results for Astrological Purposes . Petrol color is not Golden Yellow color as described in the sacred texts. They go through Lattice diffusion or Surface diffusion and are very cheap, non gem grade material goods. They are no where Sattvik Vedic Gems.

In Northern parts of India, You would need to watch out for Dyed Sri Lankan Yellow Sapphires in heavy weight such as 4-6 carats. There are primarily white in color andthey dyed to make yellow. Simple exposure to Sunlight will make them white. They will give bad results Astrologically. More information on this can be accessed in the Gem Pyramid Write up.

Alternatives/ Uparatanas of Yellow Sapphire:

Yellow Topaz and Heliodor give excellent results as Uparatanas to Yellow Sapphires. Good Quality Yellow Topaz is a fast acting Gemstone and should not be confused with Citrine. Citrine gives Zero Results as a Jupiter Gem. More information on that can be accessed by clicking here
