Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)

What is Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)?

Yellow Sapphire is the golden-yellow variety of the mineral corundum and, at 9 on the Mohs scale, one of the hardest gemstones after diamond. In astrology it is the stone of Jupiter (Brihaspati/Guru), which is why it is traditionally worn for wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.

Yellow Sapphire Benefits & Who Should Wear It

In Vedic tradition Pukhraj is believed to strengthen Jupiter — associated with knowledge, marriage, wealth and spiritual growth. It is traditionally recommended for those with a well-placed Jupiter or during its planetary period. For an accurate recommendation, always consult a qualified astrologer before wearing.

How to Identify an Original Yellow Sapphire

A natural Pukhraj shows a clear, even yellow colour, excellent transparency and a sharp lustre, with no gas bubbles or dye. Because glass imitations and synthetics are common, always buy a stone that can be verified by a recognised gem laboratory — every Yellow Sapphire at GemStore.pk is lab-checkable.

Yellow Sapphire Price in Pakistan — What Affects It

Pukhraj price in Pakistan depends on colour, clarity, carat weight, origin and treatment. Fine Ceylon (Sri Lankan) stones with a bright, even colour command the highest value, while heat-treated or lower-clarity stones are more affordable. Each piece in our collection is priced individually with its exact weight and quality shown.

What decides the yellow sapphire price

The price in Pakistan depends on colour (a clean, even golden yellow is most valued), clarity, carat weight, origin and whether the stone is unheated. Every listing in this collection shows the exact carat weight and price, and our gemstone price guide explains typical ranges so you can compare with confidence.

Care and cleaning

Very durable; clean with warm soapy water. Store away from harder stones such as diamond to avoid scratches on the polish.

Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.

Packaging and presentation

Loose pieces come in a sealed pouch with the carat weight on the invoice; rings and pendants arrive in a gift box. If the order is a present, tell us and we will leave the price off the packing slip. Every parcel is photographed before sealing so you can compare what left us with what arrived.

Sizes, settings and matching pieces

Most pieces are available loose or set in silver as a ring, pendant or bracelet; tell us the finger size or chain length and the setting is made to order in 3–5 working days. If you need a matched pair or a specific carat weight for an astrological prescription, send the details and we will suggest what is in stock or source it for you.

A note on natural variation

Two natural stones are never identical. Small inclusions, slight colour zoning and minor differences in cut are part of what proves a stone is genuine rather than glass or synthetic, and they are visible in our daylight photos. What never varies is the weight on the invoice, the honest description of treatment, and your right to inspect the parcel before paying.

Our certification promise

We describe every piece the way a gemmologist would: species, colour, clarity, carat weight and any treatment. If an independent laboratory ever finds a stone is not what we said it was, we refund the full price and the testing fee. That promise has no time limit, because a natural stone does not change.

Tracking your order

You receive the courier tracking number on WhatsApp the moment the parcel is collected, and a follow-up message once it is out for delivery. If a delivery attempt fails, the courier calls the number on the order and tries again the next working day; parcels are never left unattended.
