The shady side

Despite the innumerable benefits it puts forward, blue sapphire can also have an equally profound side-effects. Since this stone is closely associated with shani,  which makes it a storehouse of powerful transformative energies, but sometimes it can turn the tables against us and result in adverse reactions if it does not suit the viewer or if the stone itself is flawed. We have enlisted some of the potential side-effects- 

1.     Flaws in the Stone:

o   Dual Tone: A Blue Sapphire with uneven coloration can produce inconsistent results, leading to instability in the wearer’s life.

o   Milky Colour: A stone with a milky appearance may lack the clarity needed to channel Saturn’s energy effectively, resulting in confusion and indecision.

o   Low or No Shine: A dull Blue Sapphire may indicate impurities, which can lead to lethargy and a lack of motivation.

o   Holes, Bubbles, White Strips, and Nets or Lines: These imperfections can disrupt the stone’s energy flow, causing various negative effects, including physical and emotional distress.

o   Dust and Inclusions: Stones with visible dust or inclusions are considered impure and can attract negative energies, leading to misfortune.

2.     Health concerns 

o    If you are wearing a blue sapphire, which does not suit you, then it could potentially lead to physical discomfort, such as headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Now you may be wondering how such a tiny trinket can lead to physical inabilities. This is because every object in our surrounding environment brings about a certain set of aura or vibe with themselves, which may be positive or negative. This is only because of that positive or negative aura, which affects us- either in our favour or against us. 

3.     Emotional instability

o   The intense vibrations of blue sapphire can magnify negative emotions, which will lead to anxiety, fear, or even depression. Therefore, these kinds of overwhelming feelings can be particularly evident if the stone is not harmonious with the wearer's astrological chart.
