Gemstones

Blue Sapphire, a native of the Corundum mineral family, is an influential blue colored gemstone. It is called Neelam in Sanskrit, derived from the word Neel, meaning blue. According to Vedic astrology, Blue Sapphire (Neelam) was one of the nine treasures of Kubera and is a powerful stone that appeases its ruling planet, Saturn (Shani). Wearing a blue sapphire accentuates fame, good health, and protection.
