What Makes a Neelam ‘Original’? — Not Just Shiny – The Truth Behind a Real Blue Sapphire

1. “Original” Isn’t a Feeling. It’s a Fact.

In the gemstone world, words like ‘original’, ‘natural’, and ‘certified’ are often misused. To a casual buyer, ‘original’ may mean looks beautiful or comes with a certificate. But in Vedic tradition and gemmology, “original” has a precise meaning:

An original Neelam is:
– Naturally formed in the Earth — not lab-grown
– Free from aggressive treatments like glass-filling or diffusion
– Either untreated or gently heated only (with disclosure)
– Certified by a reputable, independent lab

2. Natural ≠ Untreated — The Truth Few Sellers Explain

Natural = Mined from Earth. Untreated = Not altered with heat or chemicals. Many sellers sell heated stones as ‘original’, which may not be effective in Vedic astrology. Only untreated or mildly heated Ceylon-origin Neelams are considered energetically effective.

3. What Your Certificate Must Say

✅ Preferred:
– Natural Corundum – Blue Sapphire
– No indications of heating

🚫 Avoid:
– Glass-filled
– Diffusion-treated
– Synthetic

Check QR code, lab name, and certificate ID. Trusted labs include IGI, GTL, IIGJ, AIGS, GJEPC, SSEF, GIA.

4. Common Market Tricks (and How to Outsmart Them)

| ‘Original Bangkok Sapphire’| Usually glass-filled          |
| ‘Certified ₹1,000/ct’      | Probably treated or fake      |
| ‘Seller certificate’       | Not valid for astrology       |

5. Origin Matters: Ceylon vs Burma vs Bangkok

🇱🇰 Ceylon: Trusted, untreated or mildly heated, ₹2,000–50,000/ct
