The principal gem stones are nine in number known as Navratnas. Of all the gemstones available, the Neelam stone is one of the strongest and fastest acting gemstones. Governed by the mighty Lord Saturn, this gemstone holds the power to flourish or destroy the wearer’s life. Therefore enough care must be taken to see the right form of blue sapphire is worn the right way during the right time so that the benefits are not missed out and the evil effects are avoided.

Top 10 Precautions to Take While Wearing Blue Sapphire Stone or Neelam

Lord Saturn is the Lord of perseverance and patience. He is a strict disciplinarian. Therefore it is essential that the Blue Sapphire should be worn only after doing a thorough check and analysis. Not only should a reputed astrologer be consulted but also his or her advice has to be followed religiously to gather the benefits from the Neelam stone.

1. Speak with a Skilled Vedic Astrologer

It is essential to speak with an Experienced Vedic astrologer before wearing a blue sapphire. Since Saturn’s impact differs for each horoscope, only a careful examination can tell you if Neelam is right for you. If you wear it without the right advice, you may experience health problems and financial losses.

2. Conduct a Trial Period

It’s best to test the Blue Sapphire before using it permanently because of its strong energy. For a week, place the gemstone in your pocket or beneath your pillow. It might be appropriate if you see positive changes, but avoid wearing it if you have anxiety, nightmares, or unexpected difficulties.

To get all the desired benefits from the blue sapphire, it is essential that the stone you choose suits you. If the Blue Sapphire suits you, the gemstone can bless you with abundant wealth, good luck, and prosperity.

A well-suited Neelam stone can show miraculous results even during the Sade sati period. Stagnancy and gloominess that engulfs a person during this period is all knocked off thanks to the Blue Sapphire stone. Wearing this gemstone during the Sade sati period boosts the wearer’s energy levels and ups his/her metabolism.

3. Wear only untreated, natural stones

Make sure the blue sapphire is certified, natural, and untreated. Heat-treated or synthetic stones might not have the appropriate astrological qualities and might even have the opposite effect.

4. Select the Right Metal

Neelam is typically set in panchdhatu, a five-metal alloy, or silver. Don’t set it in gold since that metal is connected to the Sun, Saturn’s adversary.

5. Put on the Right Finger

Since Saturn rules the middle finger of the right hand, the blue sapphire should be worn on this finger. This arrangement harmonises the energy of the gemstone with the influence of the planet.

6. Pay attention to the auspicious day and time.

The best day to wear Neelam is Saturday, which is Saturn’s day. The best times are between 5:30 and 7:30 AM or during the Shani Hora, which is Saturn’s planetary hour.

7. Before donning, cleanse and energise

The gemstone should be purified by soaking it for 20 to 30 minutes in a solution of raw cow’s milk, honey, Ganga Jal (holy water), and Tulsi (basil) leaves before wearing. Chant the Shani Beej Mantra after cleansing:

“ॐ शं शनैश्चराय नमः” (Namah Om Sham Shanaischaraya)

To energise the stone, repeat this mantra 108 times.

8. Steer clear of wearing stones that are damaged or flawed.

Wearing blue sapphires with visible inclusions, chips, or cracks can draw negative energy and reduce the stone’s effectiveness.

9. Keep an eye out for negative effects

Keep an eye out for any unfavourable changes after using Neelam, such as elevated stress, health problems, or monetary losses. Remove the gemstone right away and speak with your astrologer if such effects arise.

10. Avoid Wearing in Depressing Situations or at Funerals

Because the blue sapphire can absorb negative energies and potentially lessen its positive influence, it should not be worn at funerals or in locations where negative energies are present.

11. Consistently Clean and Reenergise

Cleanse the gemstone on a regular basis to preserve its efficacy and colour. This can be accomplished by repeating the previously described purification and energisation procedure.

12. When not in use, store separately.

To keep the Blue Sapphire from absorbing undesirable energies, store it separately in a hygienic, hallowed area when not in use.

13. Do not mix incompatible gemstones.

Unless recommended by a certified astrologer, avoid wearing Neelam with gemstones linked to planets that are Saturn’s enemies, such as Pearl (Moon) or Ruby (Sun).

14. Exercise Caution While Saturn Is Transiting

Wearing blue sapphire can be helpful during Saturn’s transit phases, such as Sade Sati or Dhaiya. To make sure it’s suitable for your particular chart, it’s crucial to speak with an astrologer.

15. If damaged, replace

After completing the required energisation and purification procedures, the Blue Sapphire should be replaced if it sustains damage or loses its lustre over time.

One can maximise the profound benefits of blue sapphire while reducing any potential negative effects by carefully following these precautions. Always keep in mind that when working with such potent astrological remedies, the advice of an experienced Vedic astrologer is essential.
