Blue Sapphire (Neelam)

Blue sapphire represents Shani or Saturn which rules the zodiacs Capricorn and Aquarius. Shani is considered the most malefic planet among all but the final effect of Shani is always good. It throws one into adversities and misfortunes, but ultimately, it all sums up to be good for the person.

Neelam stone's effects are observed sooner than other gemstones. Proving to be effective and fruitful, Neelam destroys away poverty, sorrows, diseases, faults and accelerates prosperity, life-span, food and overall strength of the wearer. Neelam also brings back any lost property or funds lost before wearing the stone. If Neelam is unfavorable, it does all the opposites. The wearers' efforts and hard work may go waste and Neelam may end up shoving the wearer's life down the destruction lane.

Hence, Neelam should only be worn after proper consultation from an astrologer and test it for a week before finally wearing it.

Neelam stone is highly recommended for dealers in machines, transporters, policemen, financers, hawkers and people working in local self-government. When worn near the heart, Neelam brings peace to heart.

“Evil thoughts are nullified and the mind and behavior stay calm when one wears Neelam”, a Buddhist Monk said. Neelam miraculously elevated the wearer to a higher status in all aspects of life. In fact, some astrologers also believe that Neelam possesses the power to transform a beggar into the richest by alleviating misfortunes.

By wearing Neelam, one can improve stamina, longevity and security in life. Such is the magic of Neelam that it can improve fertility in a barren woman. Also, wearing Neelam cures mental disorders, fits, fainting, baldness and deafness.

Care & Cleaning of Blue Sapphire

Sapphire is the most durable gemstone. It can be cleaned with warm water, soft brush and detergent. Also, ultrasonic or steam cleaners do not harm Neelam.
