Yellow sapphire is the king of all yellow color stones in astrological science. People call it “Pukraj” which means gem of yellow color in Sanskrit. Ancient scriptures also suggest that Royal seats of the great kings, gods, and demons are encrusted mostly with yellow sapphires. Yellow Sapphires are today considered as the supreme gemstone amongst the nine precious gemstones: Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Blue Sapphire, Pearl, Hessonite, and Cats Eye.
Yellow Sapphire is associated with Jupiter being the largest planet in the solar system. A person whose Jupiter is weak or malefic should wear this gem. Jupiter is regarded as the planet that controls creativity, intelligence, spirituality, and growth. It is said to balance the inner self and outer strength of the body. It should be worn in gold on the index finger of your right hand. The auspicious day to wear this stone is Thursday. It is to be kept in honey and holy waters (Gangajal) for 6-8 minutes before wearing.

How To Wear Yellow Sapphire/Pukhraj?
Always keep in mind that a minimum weight of a yellow sapphire stone should be 3.25 Carats (6 Ratti). After you bring home your stone, you may want to purify it as it may contain impurities. For purification, you may dip it in pure cow milk. If cow milk is not available, the holy waters of River Ganga or Gangajal would do it well. You may dip it for half an hour. Some keep it overnight and wear it the next day. One should keep it for at least 15-20 minutes. Note the following points.
- The best way is to wear it as a ring (gold or silver) in a way that a part of the stone touches your skin.
- Wear it on Thursday between 5 am and 8 am. Its ruling planet is Jupiter (Guru) therefore Guruwar (Thursday) is the most auspicious day.
- On that day, sit on a mat (preferably yellow color) with your yellow sapphire ring dipped or drenched in cow milk or Gangajal.
- After taking out the ring from milk, keep it over yellow color Jupiter-drawn cloth.
- Next is the offering of incense sticks and yellow flowers to it with the 105 chants or recital of this Vedic mantra: “Om Brim Brahaspataye Namah.” OR “Om Brim Brahaspataye Namah Om.”
After this procedure, you can now wear the ring on your index finger or the first finger of the right hand. Regular cleansing through a DIY kit or a professional gemologist would make it last longer.
