Thai yellow sapphire, also known as Bangkok Pukhraj, is a highly sought-after variety of yellow sapphire, valued for its deep golden-yellow hue, high clarity, and durability. As a member of the corundum mineral family, its rich color is primarily due to the presence of iron. Sourced mainly from the Chanthaburi and Kanchanaburi regions of Thailand, these sapphires are known for their vivid coloration and strong brilliance, making them a popular choice for both jewelry and astrological purposes.

One of the distinguishing features of Bangkok Pukhraj is its relatively higher clarity compared to other yellow sapphire sources, often achieved through heat treatment, which enhances its color and transparency. Thai yellow sapphires typically exhibit a deep golden tone, sometimes with slight orange or honey-like undertones, setting them apart from the lighter shades of Sri Lankan yellow sapphires. Due to their affordability and visual appeal, they are widely used in rings, pendants, and other fine jewelry.

Astrologically, Bangkok Pukhraj is associated with Jupiter (Brihaspati Graha) and is believed to bring wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. It is often recommended for individuals seeking success in business, career growth, and financial stability. With its radiant golden hue and symbolic significance, Thai yellow sapphire remains a cherished gemstone for those looking to harness positive energy and elegance.
