Yellow Sapphire, the story
Yellow sapphire is a very hard and durable gemstone, with a Mohs hardness of 9, making it an excellent choice for daily wear. It is also a rare gemstone, with most of the world’s supply coming from Sri Lanka, which is known for producing the finest quality stones.
In addition to their beauty, yellow sapphires are believed to have metaphysical properties, including promoting wisdom and prosperity. In ancient times, yellow sapphires were worn as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.
Unlike blue sapphire and ruby, where the mining origin can affect the price significantly, the origin of yellow sapphires has less of an impact on their value. However, the quality of the stone, including its colour, clarity, and cut, will always be the primary factor in determining its worth.
