Sri Lanka (Ceylon) Yellow Sapphire
Sri Lanka is the traditional first-preference source for yellow sapphire, prized above all for producing the fine unheated material that classical astrological use specifically favors.
Ceylon yellow sapphire typically shows a warm, even golden color and is more likely than material from other sources to reach the market untreated, which is precisely why it remains the reference origin for astrological Pukhraj. Ratnapura and the surrounding gem-bearing gravels have supplied yellow sapphire for centuries alongside the country's better-known blue sapphire production.
