Go for Grades

Grades, marks and reviews have always added value in our life and so is it in case of the gem ruled by the planet Saturn. Grades of 5-6 hold immense value for a precious stone of Saturn (Shani).

4 Cs for The Perfect Gems Choice

Gem quality, value and purity can be judged by few key factors named colour, clarity, cut and carat.

• Color- Medium blue to medium dark are the most chosen shades in the blue gemstone. Avoid if the colour is uneven. Saturation (amount of colour) shouldn’t be too much or too less. A moderate saturation is considered valuable and precious.

• Clarity- Clarity is directly proportional to purity. It is evaluated on the basis of inclusions (blemishes) inside the gemstone. Less inclusions means less interruption in the path of light through the gem and that eventually results in higher performance.

• Cut- Cuts helps you build a preference by adding value and appeal to your high-end blue sapphire. The skilled cutting technique enhances the brilliance and beauty of the gem. One can consider the cut-grade of the sapphire. Oval, round and cushion are the most popular cuts.

• Carat- Higher the carat weight, greater is the value of the gem. However, how much carat blue sapphire one needs can be a personal choice. Out of 4 Cs, clarity is the most scientific and most reliable feature.

Origin

So, where does your Neelam Stone belong to? These gemstones are mined from various regions across the global and there are specific locations of origin too to add value to the gem. Blue sapphires from Kashmir are royal and velvety in texture and are rated highest on the quality scale. Sri-Lankan/Ceylon sapphires mined from Sri Lanka are also of exceptional quality. These Ceylon sapphires are preferred by many people because of their 100% authenticity. 

Wide Range of Prices

Different prices for the same looking blue stone can baffle a buyer for its trust in quality. Therefore, it is important to know that treated and synthetic gems are fake and not valuable in terms of astrological benefits. On the other hand, untreated and natural blue sapphire’s costing will be higher. Pricing also depends upon the origin and mines where the stones are produced.  However, buyers should be aware that judging a gem based on a single feature is not enough to determine the rarity of a gem.

Proceed with some self-help, browse, explore, ask questions, read reviews and then go for your mind-boggling Saturn’s primary gemstone.
