Blue Sapphire Stone (Neelam Stone)
Neelam stone, or what the world knows as Blue Sapphire, is a gemstone that’s as mysterious as it is powerful. Also called Indraneelam, Neelmani, Neela Pukhraj, or Mayuri Neelam, this gemstone is ruled by Saturn (Shani)—the planet of karma, discipline, and justice. Known as Shani Priya, it is believed to bring massive transformation—blessings if it suits you, and lessons if not. One of the most powerful Navratnas, Neelam can change your life rapidly.
What is Neelam Stone (Blue Sapphire Stone)?
Neelam is part of the corundum family, like Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) and Ruby (Manik). Known for its intense energy, this gem is famed for its ability to bring success or struggle—depending on your stars. It was a turning point in Amitabh Bachchan’s life and continues to shine in royal jewellery, including Princess Diana's iconic sapphire ring now worn by Kate Middleton.
