Burmese blue sapphires are some of most loved gemstones in the world. They are famous for their deep violetish blue color and clear look. These beautiful gems come from Burma (now called Myanmar) and stand out because of their rich color, rare nature, and beauty. Sapphires can come in almost every color except red, but the dark blue from Burma is especially famous.
Gem experts (like those at Gubelin) have found that Burmese blue sapphires formed nearly 18 million years ago, deep inside Earth about 10 km below the surface. Their natural shine, graceful beauty, and special place in astrology make them very valuable.
In Indian Vedic astrology, burmese neelam stone (also called Neelamani, Indraneel, Indraneelam, or Neelam Pukhraj) is linked to the planet Saturn (Shani). It’s often advised for people going through tough phases like Shani’s Saadhe Saati, Dhaiyya, or Kantakshini, because many believe it helps reduce problems, brings balance, and supports spiritual growth.
In Western astrology, Burmese sapphires are birthstone for September, so people born in this month often choose them.
The price of Burmese blue sapphire depends on several things:
In India, neelam ratna price per carat can start at around INR 55,000 and can go up to INR 2,50,000 or more, depending on quality and demand.
Buy from trusted sellers who give certificates from good gem labs. You can also look at the stone under a magnifying glass to see natural marks inside and ask for an origin report.
Some sapphires may be heat-treated to improve their color and clarity. Always ask your seller if the stone has been treated, and check the certificate to be sure.
