White Sapphire, also known as Colorless Sapphire or Safed Pukhraj, is a rare and valuable variety of the Corundum mineral family. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, it is one of the hardest and most durable natural gemstones, second only to Diamond.
White Sapphire is widely used as a natural astrological alternative to Diamond for strengthening the planet Venus (Shukra) in Vedic astrology. Due to its high refractive index, White Sapphire offers superior brilliance, luster, and durability compared to White Topaz, White Zircon, or Rock Crystal.
The finest quality White Sapphires are sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), known for their exceptional clarity, transparency, and natural shine.
