How deep is this stone, and how does it sit in a setting?

At about 9.49 x 8.86 x 4.07 mm, the stone is broad with modest depth if the last value is depth, so it sits low in a mount. The report does not label values, so ask us to confirm.

How is light blue sapphire different from aquamarine or blue topaz?

Sapphire is denser and has a higher refractive index. This report lists SG 3.99 and RI 1.76-1.77, while aquamarine is typically near SG 2.7 and RI 1.57, and blue topaz near SG 3.5 and RI 1.61.

What does Neelam / Shani mean on the report?

Neelam is the Indian trade name for blue sapphire, and Shani is the Hindi name for Saturn, the planet traditionally linked with it in Vedic astrology. The report records both as its trade-name comment, not as astrological advice.

Can this sapphire scratch my other jewellery?

Yes. At hardness 9, sapphire can scratch most other gems and metals, so store it in a soft pouch or separate compartment. Among common gems, only diamond is harder, so keep diamond jewellery apart from it too.

What should I tell my jeweller before setting it?

Share the report measurements, mention that treatment is not stated, and ask the jeweller to avoid open flame near the stone. Visible fractures mean a secure bezel is safer than light prongs.
