History & Heritage
Yellow Sapphire, or "Pushparaga" in Vedic astrology, is considered a stone of immense fortune, spiritual guidance, and intellectual power. In Sri Lanka, yellow sapphires are mined alongside blue ones, showcasing a rich golden-yellow fire that looks incredibly rich and brilliant.
Sri Lanka’s geological composition is unique, containing some of the oldest pre-Cambrian rocks on earth. Over millions of years of metamorphic growth under extreme pressure and temperature, these premium gemstone crystals were formed, washed down from mountain heights into the valleys where they are ethically hand-mined today.
