Unheated Jyotish Gem Blue Sapphires

Gems must have pure, natural, unenhanced color and a very high degree of clarity to be effective Jyotish gems and to function as planetary remedies.

I specialize in natural color, unheated, untreated Vedic Jyotish gem sapphires, specifically selected for Jyotish prescriptions as recommended by Jyotish Pundits for beneficial planetary influence.

All sapphires listed here display natural color as found in the sapphire mines in Sri Lanka. They have not been enhanced through treatment or heating.

Clarity Grading:
I adhere to the Colored Stone Clarity Grading Standards established by the Gemological Institute of America and taught in GIA's Colored Stone Grading Course.
VVS clarity grade is the highest possible grade for a colored stone in GIA's Colored Stone Grading System.

Untreated natural color indicated by: Very very slight silk.

Fascinating Sapphire With Excellent Clarity and Rich Color!

This sapphire shows a strong "color-change", depending on the light that illuminates it.

In north-light, it's a beautiful blue and when you see it with incandescent lighting, it changes to violet-purple. This "color-change" characteristic reduces the cost.

item: #sb105
weight: 1.05carat
clarity: VVS
size: 6.30x4.64x3.84mm
total price: $495

Untreated natural color indicated by: very, very slight silk


 

 

 

 

 

 


Affordable Sapphire!

Proportion variations used by the gem-cutter make this sapphire very affordable because the "culet", the point of the bottom of the stone, is somewhat off-center. This cutting variation reduces the price considerably.

Finest clarity ensures its effectiveness as a Jyotish gem.

weight: 1.58 carats
clarity: VVS
size: 7.52x5.86x4.2mm

Clean, Bright, Medium-light Blue Sapphire

Great value for such a clean, bright gem!

Excellent cutting proportions bring out the sparkle.

Highest clarity grade possible for sapphire.

Very slight violetish tint helps make this gem more affordable.

item: #sb257
weight: 2.57 carats
clarity: VVS
size: 9.46 x 7.22 x 4.88 mm
total price: $1400

Untreated natural color indicated by:
sharply-defined color boundaries when examined under high magnification.

Strong, Saturated Blue Sapphire

When you think of a fine sapphire of rich, rare color, think of this one!

With color deep enough to perfectly fulfill your Jyotish recommendation but not so dark as to be elusive.

The cutting angles chosen by the gem-cutter have made the pavilion slightly non-symmetrical. This variation in proportions reduces the cost because the jewelry trade is critical of any proportion variation in a gemstone. This variation has no influence on the effectiveness of this rare gem for Jyotish purposes.

item: #sb327
weight: 3.27 carats
clarity: VS
size:9.00 x 7.25 x 6.14 mm
total price: $2900.

Untreated natural color indicated by: fine silk.

Do you need an affordable 3 carat blue sapphire?

Extremely affordable 3 carat, untreated blue sapphire of good clarity and nice, medium-light color!

This gem is cut to extreme proportions: its depth is almost equal to its width. This style of cutting is sometimes referred to as "native" cutting because it completely disregards modern proportions!

Its face-up size is very small for its weight because the stone is much too deep for its width. But this doesn't impair its value for Jyotish because it's still reasonably symmetrical; it just doesn't have the proportions demanded by the modern jewelry trade.

item: #sb300
weight: 3.00 carats
clarity: VS
size: 9.41 x 5.74 x 5.63 mm
total price: $1450

Untreated natural color indicated by: fine, intact silk and very small intact crystal.

Large, Brilliant Sapphire!

Fine clarity.

Sparkling brilliance.

Large, bright blue sapphire!

Do you need a large sapphire without sacrificing quality? This is the one for you!

item: #sb430
weight: 4.30 carats
clarity: VS
size: 9.89 x 7.98 x 6.46 mm
total price: $2900

Untreated natural color indicated by: very small, intact crystals.

Certificate #8718 issued by Lakshani Gem Testing Laboratory, Sri Lanka


 
 
 

Deep, Vivid Blue Sapphire!

This sapphire displays finest, richly saturated royal blue color and fine clarity!

The gem-cutter who cut and polished this gem selected facet angles that maximized yield--this means that he chose proportions giving a finished stone that has a small face-up size for its weight. This gem's "pavilion" (bottom portion of the stone) is deeper than average.

This proportion variation doesn't affect a gem worn for beneficial Jyotish influence but it allowed the cutter to keep the finished weight above 3 carats.

Untreated sapphires of this size and color are extremely rare.

item: #sb317
weight: 3.17 carats
clarity: VS
size: 6.75x8.0x6.50 mm

Untreated natural color indicated by: Intact tiny crystals, fine silk visible with magnification.

total price: $3900.

 

Rare Shape!

Beautiful rich blue, finest clarity, wonderful brilliance and excellent proportions--this gem is everything a fine gemstone should be.

Round shape sapphires of this quality are extremely rare; only a very, very few gems like this are ever found and when they are, the miners rejoice!

The only drawback is the price...this quality and shape command a premium price that I had to pay the miners to acquire this rare gem.

From a Jyotish point of view, shape isn't important. This stone only makes sense for you if round shape is your personal preference and you don't mind paying the premium price that goes with fine quality round sapphires.

If round isn't extremely important to you, your money is better spent on a larger stone of comparable quality.


item: #sb1.67r
weight: 1.67 carats
clarity: VVS

size: 6.39-6.47 x 3.71mm

Sparkling, Brilliant Blue Sapphire!

Brilliant, medium-tone round gem with
finest clarity and rich, lush blue!

Round shapes in this quality have a premium price because the mines rarely produce "rough" sapphire crystals that will yield a round shape.


From a Jyotish point of view, shape isn't important to a gem's effectiveness but If you really want a round sapphire, this one is worth it!.

item: #sb177r
weight: 1.77 carats
clarity: VVS
size: 6.58-6.67 x 5.00mm

Untreated natural color indicated by: very small, intact rutile crystal.

Touched With a Violet Hue!

Slightly violetish-blue gem at an affordable price for this quality!
