"Om Nilanjana Samabhasam Ravi Putram Yamagrajam Chhaya Martanda Sambhutam Tam Namami Shanaischarama"
For maximum Saturn blessings
Daily Practice: Chant Saturn mantra 108 times every Saturday evening. Visit Shani temple on Saturdays. Donate black items (sesame, mustard oil, iron) to the poor.
Royal blue or cornflower blue most valuable. Kashmir sapphires have velvety blue. Avoid too dark (inky) or too light.
Eye-clean preferred. Silk (fine needles) in Kashmir sapphires adds value. Avoid heavy inclusions affecting transparency.
Oval and cushion most common. Good cut maximizes color and brilliance. Avoid overly deep or shallow cuts.
Kashmir (rarest, most valuable), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Madagascar, Burma. Unheated commands 30-50% premium.
| Quality | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Commercial (Thailand) | Rs 5,000 - 15,000 |
| Good (Madagascar) | Rs 15,000 - 40,000 |
| Fine Ceylon (Heated) | Rs 30,000 - 80,000 |
| Premium Ceylon (Unheated) | Rs 80,000 - 2,00,000 |
| Kashmir (Rare) | Rs 2,00,000 - 20,00,000+ |
Tip: For astrological purposes, a smaller unheated Ceylon sapphire is better than larger heated stone. Always buy certified sapphires.
