Shiva Om Dear Friends,

The Neelam / Blue Sapphire is the Gemstone assigned to Lord Shani and hence it is strongly advised that in the first place prior to wearing the same you should be doubly careful and preferably try it out for a small period of time as a trial prior to wearing it on a permanent basis. Astrologically it is also believed that a wrong decision of either wearing it or removing it can have serious repercussions.

The special circumstances under which you are permitted to remove a Neelam Gemstone are elaborated ahead :

1. You wish to upgrade the Neelam to a better quality one.

or

2. If you have realised for sure that you have been advised wrongly to wear the Neelam.

or

3. If the Neelam has chipped / cracked / broken or damaged in any manner.

or

4. If you have lost faith in the Gemstone and strongly feel that it is not working well for you.

or

5. The period for which the Neelam has been prescribed to be worn is complete and now wearing of the Neelam has no relevance or can be harmful and act against you.

However, I would like to suggest that you should ensure that while removing of the Neelam do so with great respect and make clear the “Intent” with which you are doing so with humility. The dignity of the Gemstone should not be in any way hampered. In case it is damaged then you will need to immerse it in clean flowing water after offering a prayer of forgiveness ( Kshama Yachana ).

Sincerely hoping that this Blog has ensured clarity on the question posed.

Shivam Kalyanam,
