Yellow Sapphire → Jupiter

The (yellow) sapphire is  sour, cool, and curative of abnormal oxidation, causes appetite, and  brings fame, wealth and wisdom.” – Mani Mala, Part II, 65.

Yellow  sapphire is the primary gemstone recommended for Jupiter. The yellow  sapphire enhances the qualities of love, calmness, generosity, wisdom  and compassion. It serves to strengthen the Jupiter energy in the  astrological chart.

It serves to enhance concentration, love and  often brings great material abundance and prosperity. It also  strengthens one's wisdom and ability to perceive intellectual and  philosophical energies. It also improves meditation practices, and many  find that wearing a yellow sapphire magnifies feelings of peace,  tranquility and joy.

The yellow sapphire can also greatly  increase the general energy of a person, help to maintain a more even  body weight and strengthen the immune system. Jupiter rules the liver,  lymphatic and respiratory system. Yellow sapphires enhance the Jupiter  energy in the chart .

A good-quality, yellow sapphire should be  clear to the eye and of a clean, lemony-yellow to golden-yellow color.  It is not advisable to purchase a heat-treated stone, as the crystalline  energy pattern made naturally is altered, thereby affecting the gems  natural energies. One can usually tell a heat-treated yellow sapphire,  because it is a darker orange-gold or brownish yellow color. Heat  treating makes the gem useless for energetic and healing purposes.

There  are times untreated yellow sapphires are found in a a darker, more  intense or extremely deep color, which can look treated. An expert  gemologist can tell the difference. Also, a certificate can be  requested, for a slight additional cost, to insure the gem is not  treated.

Yellow sapphire is best set in rings or pendants of  yellow gold and, if in a ring, is best worn on the forefinger next to  the thumb (Click here for Hand and Finger Correspondences for  Gemstones.) It may also be worn on the ring finger (next to the smallest  finger).

There are several sources of yellow sapphires including  Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Australia and Africa, but the  only place that consistently produces enough natural (unheated)  material  is Sri Lanka.

Yellow topaz or citrine  quartz may be substituted for yellow sapphire, although the potency is  less. The important thing is to take advantage of the powers of gems  according to your own means. If worn properly, with faith and  determination, achievement of the desired effects will come about  quickly.
