Saturn Gemstone & Crystals
Shani is the karmic teacher — slow, strict and ultimately fair. Its transits (Sade Sati and Dhaiya) are the most searched topics in Vedic astrology because they coincide with pressure and restructuring. Blue sapphire (Neelam) is its famously powerful gem and must be tested carefully; amethyst, iolite and lapis are the calmer, safer choices.
