Neelam stone is one of the most powerful gemstones of modern times. It has the potential to take you to skies of success.

It was in 1969, when a young man from Allahabad, named Inquilab, had reached Mumbai with Bollywood dreams and started small with a profile of a voice narrator after many rejections. He soon took to acting as well and did feature in many films. He continued to play his part in different films but not may do well and this young man in his 30s was faced with dire struggles and hard times with 12 flops in his pocket already. It was not until 1973 that things changed for him and he was chosen for a movie by some leading names who completely changed his image from a romantic hero to an angry young man. He tasted stardom and superstardom but only to face a decline in the coming years. He met with a near-fatal injury and was not able to catch pace with success again. Things went from bad to worse and he also suffered huge business losses until he wore the wonder gemstone which gave him a great start and then there was no looking back. His career took him to greater heights and he came to be known as the Man of the Millenium. If you haven’t guessed so far, yes he is Amitabh Bachchan- a man who got name, fame, respect, and vision. In many interviews, he has opened up about his faith in astrology and his wonder Neelam stone.

The Power of Blue Sapphire can definitely be felt by the story of Mr. Bachchan who is a living legend and is ruling millions of hearts. Laxmi Mittal, a name to be reckoned with, is another successful example of the wonders of the Blue Sapphire.

Astrology has given a special place to this blue beauty. One of the most spectacular of all gemstones, blue sapphire comes from the mineral ‘kuruvindam’ or corundum. The word Sapphire has its origins in the Persian word “safir” which finds its origin in a Greek word for blue. Sapphires come in all colors and the ones which are red are called Rubies by gemmologists. Blue sapphire is basically found in Kashmir, Burma, and Sri Lanka.

Neelam stone benefits are based on its ruling planet Saturn, which is considered as the most powerful of all the planets. The blue sapphire power can be gauged from the fact that if not worn after proper consultation, or of the right astrological value, it can lead to severe and adverse circumstances in life. Otherwise, it is said to bring on good health by balancing all the chakras and also bestow on the native untold wealth and fame. Even lost wealth can be recovered by its magical powers.

Blue Sapphire Color forms a significant aspect in determining its quality and value. The trace elements of iron and titanium cause the blue of a sapphire. The most highly valued sapphires are velvety blue to violetish blue, in medium to medium-dark tones. Preferred sapphires also have strong to vivid saturation. The saturation should be as strong as possible without darkening the tone and compromising brilliance. Sapphires with these qualities command the highest prices per carat.
