There is no price limit for this stone. I have seen stone of Rs1,00,000/- per Carat and still felt there can be a better stone.


But wearing natural , clear and good cut stones gives good effect in life. Natural gem is something that was found in a mine and thousands of years old and not artificially factory made.

Blue Sapphire or Nila is recommended to be purchased not less than 2.5 Carat and not more than 6 carat. More or less can create bad effect on the person wearing it.
1 Gram = 8 Ratti = 4.8 Carat and 1 Ratti = 0.6 Carat

Be aware of artificially prepared colored stone. 80% gems available are not natural stone. This is indeed a big problem in the market now. They are either glass made artificially or gem stone colored artificially to increase its price. These stones are sometime capable of passing the laboratory test (like GII test) as well like the original.

Blue Sapphire can be used by an individual after a trial period of 10 days. The best metal used for making a combination with Neelam would be gold.
