Ethiopian Blue Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum found in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. Discovered relatively recently around 2016, these sapphires often exhibit a deep to medium royal blue color, sometimes with slight violet undertones. Ethiopian sapphires are generally mined through small-scale operations, and many are heat-treated to enhance clarity and color. What makes them stand out is their vivid saturation, natural transparency, and unique internal structure, which can sometimes resemble that of the best Sri Lankan and Madagascar sapphires.

  • Buy an Ethiopian blue sapphire from Navratan to enhance your concentration and mental clarity.
  • In Vedic astrology, the blue sapphire is associated with the Saturn or Shani planet. High-quality sapphires of Ethiopian origin help mitigate the ill effects of Saturn.
  • It is believed to help calm the nervous system and promote better sleep.
  • Wearing it is believed to attract financial success and good fortune.

  • Color: The most prized Ethiopian sapphires are deep royal blue with even saturation.
  • Clarity: High-quality stones are transparent with minimal inclusions.
  • Cut: Well-cut sapphires maximize brilliance and show off the depth of color.
  • Carat Weight: Sizes can vary widely, with stones above 3 carats commanding higher prices.
