Saturn is the most feared and revered planet among the nine planets. Its gemstones too have a similar attraction and mystery attached to them. And, all astrologers also advice that a gem for Shani must never be worn without a proper analysis of the horoscope. Here, we take a look at the various gemstones which can be used as remedial gems for Shan. These gems are also known as Shani Ratnas in Jyotish. Neelam: The term 'Neelam' or 'Neelmani' was originally used for a blue diamond. But, as the blue diamonds are extremely rare the dark coloured corundum also began to be called Neelam. A Neelam mine has mostly only blue gems.
The Neelams found in the mines in Kashmir in India are considered to be the best in the world. They have a peacock blue colour, often called as 'Sunflower Blue', and a soft velvety texture. There are Neelams found in mines in Nepal, Pakistan, China and Afghanistan but they are not comparable in beauty with the Neelams of Kashmir.
Amethyst changes colour to Yellow or Orange when it is heated and such a heated Amethyst is often sold as Citrine in the gemstone markets. It can be worn in gemstone sizes as a remedial gemstone for Saturn. Lapis Lazuli often has specks of pyrite which look like specks of Gold on it.
