 Topaz (pukhraj): A gemstone for financial improvement and knowledge 

1. Introduction

It is a mineral-based gemstone composed of aluminum and fluorine, which is hard in nature. It is available in a variety of colors. It is naturally colorless. Also available in colors such as yellow, pink, orange, blue, and red. The term "topaz" is said to have originated from Topazios, the ancient Greek name for the little Red Sea island that is today known as Zabargad, according to the majority of experts. Before the invention of modern mineralogy, the island was a source of peridot, which was mistaken for topaz, although it never produced topaz. [1]

In Europe during the Renaissance, topaz was believed to bestow power and to shatter magic spells, as well as alleviate wrath. It is thought to guarantee longevity, wisdom, and beauty in India. Named after the Russian tsar, imperial topaz was created in 19th-century Russia and was only owned by the royal family. [1]

2. Uses of Pukhraj

Astrologers advise using Pukhraj, a stone connected to Jupiter in Vedic astrology, to balance out negative effects and harness Jupiter's beneficial energy. Those born under the Jupiter-ruled zodiac signs of Sagittarius and Pisces will particularly benefit from it. Yellow sapphires are also regarded as birthstones and are linked to joy, creativity, and intellectual endeavors. [2]

Natural Pukhraj, which is controlled by the attributes of God Brishaspati, aids in making the correct decision at the right time when worn properly. Women who wear yellow sapphire are blessed with wealth, a happy marriage, and a successful spouse. Also See: Benefits of Pukhraj Stone for Women.

4. When to wear  

The best time to wear Pukhraj (yellow sapphire) is on a Thursday morning during the waxing moon phase, or Shukla Paksha. The best time to do this, according to Rashi Ratan Bhagya, is between 5 and 7 am. According to Natural Pukhraj, it should be worn on the right index finger, particularly for people who want to advance in their careers and gain wisdom.

5. Who cannot wear it

Because of its connection to Jupiter's planet, anyone born under the signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Taurus, and Virgo should avoid wearing a natural yellow sapphire gemstone. The placement of Jupiter in your birth chart determines whether you may wear the jewel under certain Rashis. It is recommended that you seek counsel from your kundli, or natal chart.

Wearing the gem alongside diamond, emerald, or blue sapphire stones is not advised. Ask a knowledgeable astrologer for tips on how to wear the yellow sapphire stone if you already own any jewels. 

6. Price of Topaz

The cost of a pukhraj stone ranges from INR 2,500 to INR 40,000 per carat.

7. Side effects 

Yellow sapphire can cause skin reactions, emotional turmoil, bad luck, financial strain, health issues, astrological misalignments, social stigma, reduced mental clarity, relationship strain, and spiritual disconnection. It can cause anxiety, restlessness, depression, and financial strain if not compatible with one's astrological chart. High-quality stones can be expensive, and if not used properly, the investment may not pay off. Astrological misalignments can result in life challenges, such as career setbacks or relationship issues. In some cultures, wearing a yellow sapphire without proper consultation can attract social stigma. Mental clarity can be reduced, and relationship strain can occur if the gemstone doesn't align with one's spiritual path. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider if experiencing adverse effects.
