Guided by the mighty planet Saturn, Blue Sapphire (Neelam), is one of the central gems within the Navratna (9 grahas). Associated with loyalty and clarity, these powerful gemstones are a key part of the corundum family where the name sapphire represents only the timeless midnight blue variety. Colored by the presence of titanium and iron, these elegant hues are most attractive when they come with velvety, slightly violetish blue hues.
