Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Yellow Sapphire

The enduring and alluring Sapphire forms in more colors than just the legendary blue. Each color exhibits its own unique metaphysical properties and vibrational patterns, yet all are Stones of Wisdom. They honor the higher mind, bringing intuition, clarity and self-mastery. Worn throughout the ages for protection, good fortune and spiritual insight, Sapphires are not only symbols of power and strength, but also of kindness and wise judgment.

Yellow Sapphire brings the wisdom of prosperity, not only by attracting wealth and financial abundance into one’s life, but in its ability to manifest one’s creative energy into form through action. Yellow Sapphire stimulates the intellect, helping to formulate ideas and goals, then focuses that intent through the Solar Plexus Chakra, the will center, allowing one to hold their vision long enough to bring it into being. It also encourages the exploration of moving in new directions, bringing excitement and joyful expectation about the possibilities in life. [Simmons, 340-341][Ahsian, 341][Melody, 589][Hall, 255]

Sapphire is a variety of Corundum, an aluminum oxide mineral that forms in prismatic tabular, bipyramidal or rhombohedral crystals, as well as granular or massive habits, and may be transparent to opaque. Low iron content in Corundum is responsible for Yellow Sapphire’s color, sometimes called Golden Sapphire if intensely colored. The name Corundum is of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit korund and applied to opaque massive gems, generally of a dull color. With the exception of Red Corundum, which is Ruby, all other colors of Corundum are Sapphires. [Simmons, 339][www.minerals.net][Fernie, 140][www.mindat.org]

Star Sapphires are created when Corundum is intergrown with fibrous inclusions of Rutile, called “silk,” that reflects light in stones cut en cabochon as a six-rayed, sometimes twelve-rayed star that appears to glide across the face of the gem as it is moved. This effect is called asterism and increases the rarity and value of the stone. [Simmons, 345][Eason, 365][Mella, 104]

Star Sapphire has the same metaphysical properties as the color of Sapphire it appears in, with an enhanced energy and intensification of those properties. The star itself represents the manifestation of Divine knowledge and Light into denser reality, and reminds us that the outer manifestations we treasure are a reflection of the Light of our own essence. The three lines that cross in the six-rayed star represent faith, hope and destiny, sometimes associated with three angels who offer protection to those who wear Star Sapphire. The moving star brings ongoing safety to travelers and guides their way home. [Ahsian, 345][Simmons, 345][Eason, 365]

Yellow Sapphire Uses and Purposes

Place Yellow Sapphire in the home or in cash boxes to attract wealth and to increase earnings. If worn or carried, a portion of the stone itself should touch the body. It not only assists in bringing financial abundance, but in manifesting any vision one wishes to realize. [Simmons, 340][Melody, 589][Hall, 255]

Sapphire is exceptional for calming and focusing the mind, allowing the release of mental tension and unwanted thoughts. It encourages opening the mind to beauty and intuition, bringing lightness and joy as it restores balance within the body. [Melody, 584][Hall, 253]

As a professional support stone, Sapphire provides awareness of higher principles in archeologists and historians, stimulates the mind and wisdom in executives, ministers and writers, and increases discernment and good judgment in journalists and lawyers. [Mella, 129-133]

Star Sapphire, especially in paler shades, is a symbol of wise and honest leadership, and a good stone for businesswomen and female entrepreneurs who wish to succeed without compromising integrity. [Eason, 365] It is also an ideal tool for anyone needing assistance in grounding their ideas into reality and who requires extra energy to bring things through to completion. [Simmons, 345]

Because of its hardness (second only to Diamond), Sapphires are used in industrial applications such as components for watch crystals and movement bearings, scientific instruments, high-durability windows, and insulating substrates in special purpose solid state electronics. [www.widipedia.org]

Yellow Sapphire Physical Healing Energy

Yellow Sapphire is ideal for boosting physical energy and vitality, and is an excellent support for exercise. [Ahsian, 341] As an elixir, Yellow Sapphire is useful in eliminating toxins from the body. [Melody, 589][Hall, 255]

Yellow Sapphire is known for restoring balance in the spleen, and has been useful in treatments of the digestive system, gall bladder, and liver. [Melody, 589][Ahsian, 341] Sapphire is beneficial in treating blood disorders and alleviates excessive bleeding; it strengthens the veins and improves their elasticity. [Hall, 253]

Yellow Sapphire Emotional Healing Energy

Yellow Sapphire is a vivacious stone, re-energizing the emotional system. It helps one feel more excited and joyful about the possibilities life has to offer, and encourages the expression of one’s ideas and feelings with more confidence. It aids in overcoming fear and procrastination, and lends the courage to take the risks needed for great creations to come about. [Ahsian, 341]

Yellow Sapphire Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy

Yellow Sapphire activates the Solar Plexus Chakra, the energy distribution center and the chakra of relationships. This chakra is located between the ribcage and navel, and controls the immune and digestive systems. When balanced physically, we have strength to fight infections, are free of allergic reactions, and are able to use the nutrients we ingest. When the solar plexus is out of balance spiritually, we feel fear – of the disappointment or displeasure of others, or to subordinating our life and pleasures to the will of others. Spiritually, when the solar plexus is in balance we are free to interpret the world through our own thoughts and emotions and not live in fear of violating the dictums of others.

Yellow Sapphire Spiritual Energy

Sapphire is a stone of spiritual power and astuteness, bringing prosperity and helping to sustain the gifts of life. It tends to focus, emanate and radiate its energy in fulfilling dreams and desires of the consciousness, even without conscious initiation. [Gienger, 77][Melody, 584-585]

Yellow Sapphire aids in the development and alignment of one’s personal will with Divine Will, expanding the consciousness to accept an overall view and see where one’s plan or vision fits in the bigger picture. It lends the perseverance needed to overcome obstacles, and the understanding that not all blocks to success are counter to Divine Will. Whether it is an issue with Divine timing or one needs to learn a lesson by overcoming the obstacle, Yellow Sapphire helps discern the difference from being called upon to overcome a problem from being asked to go in a different direction. [Ahsian, 341][Melody, 589][Hall, 255]

Yellow Sapphire Color Energy

Yellow Sapphire brings the power to solidify new interests and new relationships, helping you to see things in a different light. It adds clarity, waking things up and adding zest, optimism, and meaning to life and relationships. Light Yellow crystals ensure that new relationships get off to a good start by aiding in the establishment of good communication. They focus on the needs of the person or group you are getting to know. Dark yellow crystals are excellent aids when decisiveness, precision, or persuasiveness is needed. They are the “Salesman’s Stone” that brings success in efforts to sell ourselves, products, or services to others.

Throughout the ages, merchants in India and the Far East have worn, or carried, fine Yellow Sapphire to enhance their business success. When worn, it is set so that a portion of the stone itself touches the body. To increase earnings it is often placed in cash boxes, and many people have been buried or cremated with Yellow Sapphire placed in their mouths to ensure wealth in the next life.
