The price for the Ceylon Yellow Sapphire can depend upon various factors:

Weight: The price for the Ceylon Yellow Sapphire weighs highly upon its carats or rattis.

Treatment: Ceylon Yellow Sapphires are usually natural, this makes them a better ornamental choice. They are heat-treated to give them the stunning look they are popular for.

Beware glass-filled Ceylon Yellow Sapphires. They may look shiny but they circumvent the divine power of the gemstone, rendering them weakened or useless.

Quality: The common man is often cheated when it comes to Ceylon Yellow Sapphires. They fall for the beryllium-treated counterparts that exude a distinct yellowish color. 

The best-quality Vedic gemstones are naturally sourced with minimum treatment and a good cut. There is advanced Vedic science to understanding the best cut for the wearer.

Natural, adequately clear, well-cut Pukhraj that is neither diffused nor enhanced is the best perfect one to choose.

Source: Lab-grown gemstones are cheaper than mined stones. The Ceylon Yellow Sapphire originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka and its costs vary depending on international laws.

Natural Ceylon Yellow Sapphire gemstones are priced between the range of Rs4,000 per carat to Rs.50,000+ per carat, depending upon the above factors.

Astrological benefits of the gemstone are dependent mainly upon the intensity of the clarity, the cut, the color and the crystal of the gemstone.

When purchasing a Ceylon Yellow Sapphire gemstone, always adhere to the 3 C’s rule of thumb. This universal rule to decide the quality of any gemstone will help you discern the perfect Vedic gemstone from the low-quality substitutes.

The 3 C’s of Quality are: Cut, Color, and Clarity

Cut:

Often misunderstood to be the shape of the gemstone, cut generally refers to the sides on the surface of the gemstone. The outer shape doesn’t matter as much as the technique of the various cuts placed on the gemstones so that it may allow the light to pass and reflect in a way that is characteristic of every cut. A cushion cut will reflect light differently than a princess cut.

The main aim of a cut is to enhance the brightness of a gem and make it shine to the fullest.

Color:

The Ceylon Yellow Sapphire comes in various shades of yellow. It ranges from greenish-yellow to deep orange-yellow although the preferred shade is a medium vibrant canary shade or a light champagne color.

The color that is highly recommended from a Vedic astrological point of view is the deep golden yellow color without any traces of orange in it.

Clarity:

The clarity of any gemstone depends on how clearly one can see through it. Hazy gemstones indicate impurities in the stone. Although, only man-made synthetic gemstones can be flawless. Natural gemstones will always contain traces of imperfection.

Ceylon Yellow Sapphire gemstones are considered a good choice as they are almost completely clear to the naked eye i.e. ‘eye-clean'. They cannot be free from inclusions and crystal or feathers are the ones typically found in natural Ceylon Yellow Sapphires.

The Pukhraj falls under the corundum mineral family of gemstones. Gemstones under this category come in various resplendent colors such as yellow, blue, red, purple, orange, and green. The variation in these colors can be attributed to the presence of elements such as iron, titanium, chromium, copper, or magnesium found in gemstones.

The element that gives this gemstone its characteristic yellow tinge is trace amounts of iron. The higher the content of iron, the deeper the hue and color. Canary Yellow and Golden Yellow Ceylon Yellow Sapphires are certainly a treat for the eyes.

It is important to authenticate and verify the specifications of the gemstone you are looking to purchase. In the case of Ceylon Yellow Sapphires, be careful about selecting irradiated gemstones only. Yellow sapphires that are enhanced through low-level radiation lose their color over time and fade away due to heat and exposure.

Remember, the best clarity grade for Ceylon Yellow Sapphires is ‘Perfection’ which is followed by VVS (Very Very Slightly included) and VS (Very Slightly included) grading.
