HOW TO SELECT A GEMSTONE ON A BUDGET?
• According to astrology, a good and high-quality gemstone that matches your horoscope can transform your life for the better. • As a result, if you want to see positive changes in your life as expected and desired, you must purchase only authentic, original, and highquality gemstones. • However, we sometimes face the constraint of a limited budget when choosing a high-quality gemstone. • To buy gemstone on budget, you must know what to look for and what not to look for.
The cost is calculated by colour, transparency, and weight.
• If you want to know if a gemstone is perfect, look at the colour. • A perfect gemstone has a clear hue, a nice tone, no overtones, and a medium saturation. • A perfectly coloured gemstone would be more expensive than a gemstone with lighter or duller colour tones on the market.
• Another important factor to consider when choosing a suitable gemstone is that it should have good clarity and minimal inclusions (visible lines, spots, etc). • Natural gemstones will always contain some inclusions. • It is important, however, that there are no negative inclusions such as cracks or dark spots. • Transparent stones have more brilliance, lustre, purity, and light. • A fully transparent gemstone with no visible inclusions would be more costly in the market.
• Even for the same quality stones, the price per carat increases as the weight of the stone increases. • For example, if we take two Yellow Sapphire stones of the same quality but one is 5 carats and the other is 7 carats, the larger stone of 7 carats will be more costly per carat. • This is because larger stones are rarer than smaller ones.
What matters Quality or Quantity? • As said before, colour, transparency, and weight are the primary factors that influence a gemstone's price. • If you want to buy gemstone in limited budget, the colour should come first. According to astrology, it should be the ideal and prescribed gemstone colour. • If you have more money to spend, you should look for a stone that has more clarity and transparency. • It's critical to prioritize fine quality gemstones over larger quantity (carat weight) stones.
• It is preferable to purchase a smaller, higher-quality gemstone rather than a larger, lower-quality stone. • It is preferable to look for a gemstone with good colour and few acceptable inclusions rather than the cleanest.
Carat Weight to Wear According To Astrology
• Wearing a gemstone with the same weight as one's body weight is a popular trend. • But it's just a new craze with no basis in reality; astrology has never given any weight-loss advice. • Trends have come as a result of astrologers' personal beliefs. • The stone should be large enough to be set in a ring or pendant and should be able to touch the skin. • The size of the stone should not be too large because it is uncomfortable and difficult to wear. • Smaller weights are preferable to larger weights. • Choose from 5 carats to 8 carats stones to save money without sacrificing effects.
