Factors to consider while choosing the right Gemstone

  1. Colour: The most critical factor in evaluating coloured gemstones is their colour. Gemstones are valued based on the richness, depth, and purity of their colour.Gemological laboratories often use a colour grading system specific to each type of gemstone.
  2. Clarity: Clarity refers to the presence of inclusions or blemishes within the gemstone. While clarity is essential in diamonds, it may not be as crucial in coloured gemstones. Some gemstones, like emeralds, are known to have more inclusions, and these inclusions are accepted to a certain extent if the gemstone’s colour is exceptional.
  3. Cut: The cut of a coloured gemstone affects its overall beauty and brilliance. Gem cutters aim to maximize the gem’s colour and minimize any negative effects of inclusions. The cut can vary depending on the type of gemstone and the desired shape. The cut of a coloured gemstone affects its overall beauty and brilliance.

  4. Carat Weight: It is the measure of the size of the gemstone. One Carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams. Although none of the ancient texts talks about the right weight of the gemstone, it is important to choose a gemstone of at least two and a half carats, so that our body will feel the weight of the gemstone. The idea behind choosing a gemstone of at least two and a half carats, is often based on the notion that a larger and heavier gemstone exerts a stronger influence on the wearer due to its perceived energy or vibrations. There is a general notion of Bigger the better, when it comes to choosing the weight of a gemstone.
  5. Origin: The origin of a coloured gemstone can also affect its value. Gemstones from certain locations are known for their superior quality and purity. As gemstone deposits are rare, and the Gemstones they produce are limited in quantity. This scarcity can drive up the price of gemstones from these specific locations.
  6. Treatments: Some gemstones may undergo treatments to enhance their colour or clarity, and these treatments reduces the naturality of the gemstones. Colour Enhanced Gemstones or Treated Gemstones are typically used for Jewellery purposes only and does not serve astrological needs.

Gemstone, a new world for you! Lets understand the basics:

The 4 Cs of a GEMSTONE:

  1. Color
  2. Clarity
  3. Cut
  4. Care Weight

A Gemstone’s colour actually refers to its vivid colour and contrast. Meaning, the more colourful a gemstone is, the better quality and higher in price.

Smart Buying tip : Colour distinction is subtle in Vedic Astrology compared to gemology. If a gemstone has decent color that’s enough for astrological purpose. Opt for standard color gemstone and save up to 20%.

Clarity refers to how clear and blemish-free the gemstone is. A flawless gemstone has no visible inclusions and is rare to find. However, most of the gemstones have inclusions that can be seen under 10X magnification.

Smart Buying Tip : Gemstones usually form some inclusions, namely feathers, fingerprints, crystals, rutile, silk, Vedic astrology only denies the black spots and surface scratches. If gemstone has light visible inclusion you can buy at a good discounted price.

Like Popular belief, the cut is the shape of the gemstone. A symmetrically cut Gemstone absorbs, refracts and reflects the light. The Cut of the gemstone is essential in determining its shine and brilliance.

The carat of a gemstone is its supposed Size and Weight. However, bigger is not always better. Ancient vedic astrology classics and Puranas talk about about the purity but not the size.

Smart Buying Tip : Basically ancient Astrology books never talk about the gemstone weight. So you can buy a small gemstone also which is real and untreated. Bigger gemstones come with fancy pricing. Go for a small and excellent quality.

Treatment : When it comes to Vedic astrology, Treatment to a gemstone is a biggest flaw. Usually gemstones are heated to get the best colour and remove natural inclusions, treated gemstones are used in ornaments to keep them beautiful. When gem is heated thermally the molecules of the gemstones become weak or they die, and chemical composition gets disturbed. When the actual properties of a gemstone are missing, there is no use of wearing them.
