What is Neelam Stone?

Neelam stone, also known as Blue Sapphire, is a deep blue coloured gemstone and one of the most powerful stones among the Navratnas. In Vedic astrology, it is connected with Shani Dev (शनि देव) and is believed to work very fast.

If the stone suits the wearer, it can turn problems into success and bring dhan (धन), growth, and happiness. But if it does not suit, it can give tough life lessons. That is why Neelam is considered a very powerful रत्न (ratna), loved for both its astrology power and its rich blue beauty.
