Blue Sapphire Quality
Like other colored gemstones, quality of blue sapphire is measured by collectively assessing its origin, color, clarity and other
factors like uniqueness. Knowing what to look for can help you buy blue sapphire online as per your financial and astrological
conditions.

Origin

Blue sapphires mines have been discovered in Kashmir (India), Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Thailand and America.
However, being royal blue and velvety in texture, Kashmir sapphires are rated highest on the quality scale. Ceylon blue sapphire
gemstones are also considered to be of fine quality. Other origin varieties like Bangkok blue sapphires are darker in color and
hence less worthy.

Color

Going by sapphire color chart, ‘true blue’ is considered ideal (e.g. Cornflower blue sapphire) which is neither too violet or too
purple. In addition, the stone should be just enough bright and vividly saturated so that it doesn’t look dull or too luminent.
Majority of Kashmir blue sapphires display these characteristics and hence are extremely precious. However, quality begins to
drop if one or all three traits of color matrix are compromised. In Hindi, deep blue neelam gems are often referred as
'Indraneelam' stone.

Clarity

Given their gemological composition, inclusions are usually acceptable in sapphires. Visible inclusions in blue sapphire usually
exist as fine silk (needles), fingerprints and color bands. Natural blue sapphires without visible inclusions are rarely found and
hence are exorbitantly expensive. However, it is always advisable to buy certified blue sapphire whether online or from reputed
dealers to ensure a fair purchase.

Uniqueness

Blue Star Sapphire – Sapphires are known to exhibit ‘asterism’ in a six-ray star like fashion. A blue sapphire producing such an
effect is called Star Sapphire. They have been discovered in Sri Lanka, Australia, Myanmar, Thailand and certain parts of Africa
and South- East Asia. Being opaque, Blue star sapphire price depends on luster and perfection of the star print which is best
viewed under direct sunlight by tilting the stone at different angles. A well-aligned six-ray radial can drastically increase blue star
sapphire’s value.

Cat’s Eye

Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye (Lahsuniya) generally comes from Sri Lanka, Brazil, India and is worn for the dark planet Ketu. The stone
benefits most during the Dasa or the malefic phase of Ketu.

neatly polished and round surface.

looked upon to choose the best possible emerald option.
Origin
Panna mines have been discovered in Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, Russia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, United States and Australia. Being
highly saturated and perfectly balanced in green and blue tints, Colombian emeralds are the considered to be superior than
other origins, followed by Zambian emeralds. Brazilian emeralds are dark and thus less desirable.
Color
Color of emerald weighs pretty much above every other quality factor. Value of emerald increases further if it is richly saturated
and consistently colored. Natural emeralds from Colombia are considered to be of the finest color quality.
Clarity
Emeralds are known for containing three phase inclusions – solid crystals, liquid films and gaseous bubbles, found less or more in
almost all origins. Inclusions in emeralds from Chivor mine in Colombia often exist as pyrite, albite and needle like growth
tubes. Zambian emeralds contain black dot like specks and are usually color-zoned. An eye clean emerald with bright-green color
is highly rare and thus is exceptionally expensive.
Uniqueness (Trapiche Emerald)
A rather rare and unique variety known as Trapiche emerald is found in Colombia and Brazil. Trapiche or Star Emeralds are
unique in their display of impurities appearing in a six-pointed, star like radial fashion. In addition, ‘Chatoyancy or Cat’s eye’
effect displayed by this gemstone, positions it as one of the most rare and majestic gemstones. Like other varieties, Traphice
emeralds can also be synthesized in labs as well as treated with oil and epoxy resins.

Hessonite Stone Benefits

Increased Income– Gomedh or Gomedak, helps in acquisition of wealth if Rahu is placed positively in the native’s horoscope.
Incoming financial gains from different sources is one of the many known benefits of wearing gomed.

Improved Position and Power

It is believed that when Rahu occupies a favorable position in an individual’s horoscope, a person can influence public opinions
in his favor. Wearing it is thus considered to be immensely beneficial for people working in public relations, diplomatic positions,
commissioning trades and event management.

Creativity, Clarity and Confidence

Gomed ratna is particularly beneficial for people who are prone to fear, anxiety or stress in day to day lives. It helps in dispelling
confusion, timidity and fear from the minds, thereby improving mental concentration and focus of the wearer.

Better Gastric, Respiratory and Mental Health

One of the positive effects of wearing gomed is the steady relief from disorders like Indigestion, Asthma and Anxiety etc.
However, it is important that the person knows how to identify and wear original, jyotish quality Gomed to ensure astrological
benefits.

Hessonite Quality
Gomed is an important astrological gemstone because of its ability to ease off negative influences of Rahu-Mahadasha in the
native’s birth-chart. It is thus important to ensure that the chosen gemstone is worth wearing. To ensure value for money, look
for the following aspects before you buy gomed stone online.

Origin
Hessonite mines are found in India, Sri Lanka, Africa, Austria and Thailand. However, Ceylon or Saloni gomed is the most popular
origin because of its relatively superior quality and excellent color saturation. Indian Hessonite or Black Gomed has low luster
and high visible, black, spot-like inclusions, making it a less desirable variety both astrologically and aesthetically.
Color
Color of gomed covers a broad range from honey-yellow to deep reddish brown. However, gomed stone color resembling the
color of Cow’s urine is most desirable.
Clarity
Visible inclusions in hessonite occur as toffee-like streaks or black spots. Invisible inclusions like oily dots or liquid inclusions if
present, can be seen using a microscope. Not only volume but location of inclusions can also degrade the quality of the
gemstone significantly. A premium quality hessonite garnet will be rich in color, transparent and nearly inclusion free.

Pearl
Pearl is an organic, white to bluish grey colored, precious gemstone produced inside the body of a living organism called
‘Mollusc’. This gemstone holds a strong astrological significance in the Vedic astrology and is worn to pacify planet Moon in the
wearer’s birth chart. Western astrology suggests Pearl birthstone for those born in the month of June.

Who Should Wear a Pearl Gemstone?

According to the Indian astrology, Pearl (meaning Moti in Hindi) is associated with the auspicious planet Moon. Wearing Pearl
helps to strengthen Moon in the wearer’s horoscope and blesses them with peace, mental stability, positivity and good health.

Vedic astrology prescribes Moti ratna for Karka (Cancer) rashi. Western astrology recommends Pearl birthstone for Cancer sign.
Ascendants of Leo, Aries, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces can also wear Pearl gemstone to gain good results.

Pearl gem is considered mild by nature, hence, doesn’t bring any negative influence for the wearer. It can be comfortably worn
by people of almost every zodiac sign after a primary Gem Consultation.

the positive energies of Pearl stimulate the water balance in the body and thereby helps the wearer to gain clean youthful skin,
bright eyes and robust circulatory system.

Pearl Quality
The quality of a natural Pearl depends largely on its origin, body color, surface texture, lustre and shape (also called orientation).
Origin
The best quality Pearls are sourced from the coast of South India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Persian Gulf, Myanmar, Mexico and
Venezuela. Pearls found in the Basra city of Persian Gulf (traded as Basra Pearl) are considered most valuable because of their
immense rare and strong historical significance. South Sea pearls from India, ‘Kahil Moti’ from Sri Lanka, Mikimoto Pearls and
Akoya Pearls of Japan are relatively less precious but quite popular in the gems and jewellery industry.

Pearl Color
Pearl body color and overtones depend on the type of Mollusc that produces them. The rarer and purer is the Pearl colour, the
more valuable is the gemstone. Generally, a pure white Natural Pearl with slight rosy overtone is considered the most valuable
variety. Cream colored pearl serves as the second most preferred choice. Due to the distinct color, the deep golden and black
pearl stone are considered rarer and valued accordingly.

Lustre
Pearl is composed of layers of a hardened organic substance called Nacre that produces a surface glow when light passes
through its layers. The high-quality Pearl with thick nacre layer often displays a luminous lustre and are considered quite
desirable. In contrast, the average-quality pearl with poor nacre appears too white, dull and chalky in appearance.
Surface Perfection
According to the Pearl experts, the tiny marks and the subtle blemish on Pearl’s surface proof its genuine origin. Theses
blemishes result from the drifts and jerks occurred inside the Mollusc’s body during the Pearl formation. The presence of fewer
surface flaws and imperfection denotes a superior quality and a more valuable pearl.

Shape 
Pearls are natural organic gemstones, so can occur in any possible shape which makes this gemstone both interesting and one-
of-a kind. Generally, the round and near-round Pearl are rare and considered most valuable. Pearl in symmetrical shape is
preferred over the ones in baroque shapes.

Yellow Sapphire Quality

Natural properties of yellow sapphire make it a desirable gemstone, metaphysically and aesthetically. To avoid getting duped by
fraud dealers, one should mind the following guidelines while buying yellow sapphire online or from dealers.
Origin
Sri-Lanka, Burma, Thailand and Australia are rich sources of natural yellow sapphires. However, Ceylonese Yellow Sapphire is
unanimously popular for its clarity and color consistency, followed by Burma Yellow Sapphire. Thailand, African or Madagascar
origins are less popular because of poor color concentration and high inclusions.
Color
Pukhraj stone color covers many hues from pale to bright golden yellow, to green and orange. Yet, bright yellow or lemon is the
most desirable color both astrologically and aesthetically. It is found mostly in Sri Lankan or Ceylonese yellow sapphires and less
frequently in others.
Clarity
Yellow Sapphire tends to have fewer inclusions than other precious gemstones. But inclusions may still be present, remaining
invisible to the naked eye. When visible, these inclusions occur as feathers or finger prints and can lower the cost of Pukhraj
gemstone.
