Jyotish Quality Gemstone is not found easily. They are very rare and that is the reason they are hard to obtain similarly as life is not a cakewalk. Many people think that the gemstone which they are buying is a Jyotish gemstone but it is not so. We have to be very cautious regarding the Jyotish gemstone and its quality.
Prerequisite of a Jyotish Gemstone
One of the most striking features of Jyotish gemstone is that they should have a brilliant and pleasing color.
Yellow sapphire is also known as “Pukhraaj” and the best quality of yellow sapphire has brilliant yellow color and luster. It has pleasing yellow shade, whose surface is smooth and a small blackening hue mixed with Yellow Shade. It is a fascinating gemstone and is also mentioned in the sacred texts. The shade of yellow sapphire which is not well proportioned may not be suitable for buying.
Yellow color lies between the spectrum of Orange and Green. Some shade variants which are close to yellow are as follows:
Yellowish Orange
Greenish Yellow
Yellowish Grey
Yellow
Brownish Yellow
Therefore, these are the colors of the yellow sapphire which falls in between.
Shades that devalue Gemstones are called as “Off Colors” and are generally avoided in the category of valuable gemstones. Shown below is a Jyotish Quality Yellow Sapphire
When you buy a natural gemstone, a certificate, mere depicting the Natural and Unheated Gemstone is not sufficient. For Jyotish quality, a gemstone has to qualify a set of 50 basic parameters. These 50 parameters are then registered as Astrokapoor’s proprietary process for a Gemstone to be kept under a Jyotish Gemstone.
Natural Unheated Certified but Not Jyotish Quality.
In the sacred texts, we can find 6 pleasing shades of desired Yellow Sapphire and 32 defects to be avoided in a Yellow Sapphire. It is also advised to get a genuine certificate before wearing a Jyotish Quality Gemstone.
If we conduct a survey in the Indian Gemology Market, most of the gemstone would be graded as “Off-Color” in Gemmological terms and getting a certificate of low-quality gemstone doesn’t make a gem a Jyotish quality gemstone.
