• Origin – Pitambari Neelam is a comparatively rare variety of natural Sapphire that is resourced in a very limited amount from the sapphire mines of Sri Lanka, Burma, U.S.A, Brazil and other East-Asian countries. Amongst all these origins, Ceylonese or Sri Lankan Pitambri Neelam holds an international reputation due to its exceptional clarity and distinctly visible color zoning. It is also considered the most suitable variety for astrological use. Because of the fair color and clarity, Burmese yellow blue sapphire is the next most preferred choice.

• Color – Color is an essential factor in evaluating a Pitambari gemstone. The consistency, depth and ratio between the blue and yellow color is what decides the stone’s overall worth. Pitambari Neelam gemstone with a higher ratio of blue is often regarded as Neelambari, however, if it is majorly yellow with tints of blue then it is more likely to be marketed as Pitambari. Each shade holds its unique metaphysical significance but usually a deep, bright colored Pitambari Neelam stone with prominently clear color zoning is considered most valuable.

• Clarity – Pitambari Neelam rough usually contains inclusions like rutile silk, feathers and fingerprints which are common in all sapphire gemstone. The consistency, location and volume of these natural inclusions inside the Pitambari Neelam gem is what justify its quality. Minimum inclusions and better transparency, is regarded as an ideal combination and is favored astrologically as well.

• Origin– Sri-Lankan Pitambari Neelam stone price is high in comparison to other origins due to its superior color and exceptional clarity. It ranges from ₹ 2500 per carat to ₹ 35,000 per carat, depending upon the quality of stone. Generally, Burmese Pitambari Neelam is more affordable than Ceylon Pitambari Neelam. But exceptions are always there, the price of certain finest quality Pitambari Neelam from Burma can beat the cost of gem even from Sri Lankan origin.

• Color– Stones containing purer and brighter shades yellow and blue hue which can be easily distinguished, draw a higher Pitambari stone price. Highly saturated, bright colored stones with 50-50 color ratio are rarest, therefore, deserves a good amount. The yellow blue sapphire price also remains high for the bright yellow sapphire with hints of blue or a bright blue sapphire with strong yellow tints.

• Clarity– Pitambari stones with no eye visible inclusions are extremely rare, and therefore, come with a high cost. Since, clarity is judged in reference to inclusions, the presence of high inclusions and milky clouds at notable location lead to price reduction.

• Cut– Pitambari Neelam is generally faceted in oval cut, rectangular-cushion cut and square-cushion cut, to enhance the color and transparency as well as to retain maximum carat weight. Highly faceted Pitambari Neelam stones like princess cut or trillion cut, are generally more expensive due to the wastage of carats involved in their cutting process.

• Carat Weight– The price of Pitambari Neelam, above few carats, reflects its rarity. The amount can even reach millions for the best Pitambari Neelam in consistent color and clarity.

• Treatment– In order to inflate the market value, certain yellow blue sapphires undergo treatment that enhances its transparency and depth in color. But ultimately the stones certified as natural are more valuable than the treated ones and are also preferred astrologically.
