Introduction: What is Peetambari Neelam?
Peetambari Neelam is a rare and visually striking variety of sapphire that exhibits two colours in a single stone — typically golden yellow and deep blue or violet. Also known as bicolour sapphire, it is admired for its mystical colour zoning and dual planetary influence.
The name Peetambari translates to ‘yellow-blue’ and holds special astrological significance, as it connects the powers of both Jupiter (Guru) and Saturn (Shani).
Appearance and Origin
- Color: Combination of golden yellow and violet/blue shades
- Origin: Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Tanzania
- Cut: Often faceted to highlight colour separation
- Clarity: May include rutile silk or fine inclusions, typical of natural sapphires
Astrological Significance
- Planetary Rulership: Combines Jupiter (wisdom, wealth) and Saturn (discipline, karma)
- Best For: Individuals undergoing Saturn and Jupiter influence simultaneously, or as advised by expert astrologers
- Chakra Alignment: Connects Crown and Throat chakras
Daily Wear Suitability
Peetambari Neelam scores 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly durable for everyday wear. However, it should be securely mounted and protected from hard knocks.
Can Peetambari Neelam Be Worn While Sleeping?
Yes, it can be worn during sleep if the setting is secure and low-profile. Individuals with sensitive skin or disturbed sleep may prefer removing it at night.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Rinse with mild soap and warm water
- Use a soft brush to clean under the stone
- Pat dry with a clean microfiber cloth
Note: Avoid using ultrasonic or steam cleaners if your stone has visible fractures or silk inclusions.
