As we know that, gemstones come in various variety and various shapes originated from various different mines. These come in different shades and colors. People are always confused, which gemstone to buy and which gemstone not to buy. Here we are giving the description of various parameters, which should be considered while buying the gemstone. We are giving these parameters on the basis of collective conclusion from various Astrology and gems books from various Indian and Foreign author. And on the basis of our experience of 25 yrs. in the field of gems.   understand these factors carefully: (i) Authenticity : The first prime factor in accepting the gemstone is its authenticity. Which is one of the most difficult aspect in today’s time. Even the most experienced gemsnologist, sometimes get confused by the various variety of gemstones being sold in market. It is not possible at all for the common man to identity the authenticity for the gemstones. The best method is either to buy from some reliable source or ask for gem authenticity report from some recognized Gems Laboratory. We at aryabhatt.com purchase gems in lots. And send the randomly selected gemstones for testing purpose. So as to make it sure that all the gemstones are 100% original. (ii) Transparency : This is one of the most visible factors. As transparency can be easily judged through the naked eyes. Getting good transparent gemstones is difficult job. As the precious gemstones like RUBY, EMERALD are very costly. In case they have good transparency. However, the Sapphires (Blue, Yellow, White) are comparatively transparent. But these may have some amount of fibres (inclusions), which are visible in the gemstone. One should be careful to analyze that, these are only fibres (inclusions), not any type of crack. One should reject the gemstone with any type of crack. Though the fibres are very common in B and C grade of gemstones. Very few inclusions, could also be seen in Grade A gemstones. The C grade gemstones may be opaque in nature. ONE SHOULD HOWEVER NOTE THAT, NOT ALL GEMSTONES ARE TRANSPARENT. SOME OF THE GEMSTONES WHICH ARE NOT TRANSPARENT ARE: CORAL, OPAL ETC. Lustre : Lustre plays an important role along with other factor, in determining the value of gemstone. The better is the lustre the better is the grading of the gemstone. One can assume lustre as the shinning in the gemstone. Colour : Color is another important factor, which plays an important role in deciding the value of the gemstones. This is one factor, which is not so easy for common man to identify. But we are trying here to give them fair idea regarding each gemstone. As each gemstone comes from different mines, each having specific color identification. As for example: Blue Sapphire : These comes from Burma, Ceylones, Sri Lanka and Kashmir mines.
