How to Select the Gemstone?

Gemstones have been worn for astrological and jewelry purposes for centuries. While the aesthetic value, durability, and appearance of a gemstone are important factors to consider, the criteria for choosing an astrological gemstone are more complex. It requires a thorough examination of an individual’s horoscope (Kundli) by a knowledgeable astrologer and the incorporation of astrological calculations. Since gemstones used for astrological purposes can affect an individual’s career, finances, profession, and personal life, it is recommended to consult a professional astrologer before purchasing one.
One should wear Gemstones as per his Lagna (Ascendants), Dasha and Mahadasha Only. One should not wear a gemstone as per his/her Rashi (Zodiac Sign)
We advise you to consult a professional Astrologer before buying any gemstone or Rudraksha.

Which Gemstone Should I wear?

When it comes to choosing a gemstone for Vedic astrology, it’s important for the gemstone to speak to the wearer through its color, cut, and appearance. The quality of a gemstone is determined by five factors: cut, color, clarity, carat (weight), and origin. Astrologers usually suggest a specific carat or ratti weight for astrological gemstones, and the terms “color” and “clarity” refer to the saturation and transparency of the gemstone. It can be difficult to narrow down your choices when there are so many appealing options, so here are a few tips to keep in mind when selecting a gemstone.

Color

Color is a matter of personal preference, and everyone perceives it differently. It is important to understand the color, tone, and saturation of a gemstone when purchasing one. Hue refers to the body color of the gemstone, tone refers to the brightness or darkness of the color, and saturation refers to the intensity of the gemstone’s color. For example, when choosing a sapphire, it is preferable to select one with a navy blue hue rather than a very dark, almost blackish color. Look for a blue that is rich, royal, saturated, and even. It makes a significant difference to choose gemstones that are all the same hue.

Clarity

There are several factors to consider when it comes to clarity. Internal characteristics such as size, position, relief, location, and number are often the most important factors in determining value.

• It is important to examine internal fingerprints, which are inevitable in natural stones but can add character and uniqueness.
• The size of an inclusion within a gemstone can sometimes affect the gem’s brilliance. It is important to choose a gemstone with a pleasing appearance.
• Clearer natural diamonds are more valuable because light passes through them without interruption.
• The location of an inclusion is important to consider. Some factors to consider include whether the inclusion is located under the gemstone’s table facet and whether it reduces the gem’s brilliance, and how many characteristics are visible to the naked eye. Are the diamonds “eye clean”?
• It is also important to consider whether there are crystals within the gem that are covered by the gem’s body color, and whether these characteristics have a high relief that makes them stand out.

Considering all of these variables can help to better understand the value of a natural gemstone.

Carat

It’s important to understand a gemstone’s carat weight, as well as the fact that size and value don’t necessarily go hand in hand. For example, a natural gemstone with a lower carat weight does not always mean it is less expensive; smaller stones can sometimes have better optical properties, which increases their value significantly. When choosing a gemstone, it’s important to invest in one that fits your budget and will provide long-term value.

Certification

Certification helps to establish trust in the quality and authenticity of a gemstone. Knowing the true origin of the gemstone and having a professional gemologist study its internal characteristics can increase confidence in the gemstone and the supplier. Certificates are important to consider because they can add value to a gemstone or piece of jewelry.

To get the most benefits from a gemstone, it is important to wear it in the form of jewelry. The metal and setting of the jewelry should be chosen to enhance the gemstone’s physical and astrological qualities, as well as to follow Vedic conventions. Each planet is associated with a specific metal in which its gemstone is believed to produce beneficial effects. It is also important that the gemstone is able to directly touch the skin when worn in jewelry. Following the correct Vedic process for wearing a gemstone, known as Ratna Dharan Karne Ki Vidhi, is important for those who practice Pooja rituals.

Where Should I Purchase From?

When it comes to buying gemstones, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you are getting a high-quality and authentic stone. These include traditional characteristics such as color, clarity, cut, and carat weight, as well as the gemstone’s origin and whether it has undergone any treatment, such as heating or chemical processing. It can also be helpful to buy from a reputable source with a proven track record of offering authentic, natural gemstones.
