Benefits of Blue Sapphire for Capricorn

Who should wear Neelam

Blue Sapphire is especially helpful for hard working people facing delays, and those with a weak but well placed Saturn. It works best when Saturn is supportive in your birth chart.

How to wear Blue Sapphire

Wear a natural, untreated Blue Sapphire of about 4 to 6 carats, set in Silver or Panchdhatu, on the middle finger of the working hand. Wear it for the first time on a Saturday morning after washing it in raw milk and clean water, and chant Om Shanaye Namaha 108 times to activate it.

Important: Blue Sapphire is the fastest acting and most sensitive gemstone. Always test it for 3 days before wearing it for good. A gemstone should always be chosen after looking at your full birth chart, not by sign alone.
