Vedic Yellow Sapphire Color:
Yellow sapphires must have natural, unenhanced color to function effectively as planetary remedies.
I specialize in natural color, unheated, untreated Vedic blue sapphires, specifically selected for Jyotish
prescriptions.
 
Vedic Yellow Sapphire Clarity Grading:
Vedic astrology determines gem clarity grades with the unaided eye. Jyotish gems for Vedic astrology should always be examined with magnification before determining the clarity grade but clarity grades are assigned without magnification.

This is also the procedure at the major Gem Labs: first examine the gemstone with a gemological
microscope and then examine, and grade, the gem with the unaided "naked" eye.

This is different from diamond clarity grading where clarity grades are assigned at 10X magnification.

The highest clarity grade at the American Gemological Laboratory is "Free of Inclusion" and the highest grade at the Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences is "Flawless". According to the Gemological Institute of America's Revised Colored Stone Grading Lab Manual, the top clarity grade is "Eye Clean".

These grades: "Free of Inclusion Gem / Flawless Gem / Eye Clean Gem " are assigned when an experienced, fully-trained gem-grader is unable to see any inclusions in a gemstone examined under ideal lighting conditions and without magnification.

Naked-eye is the basis for all gemstone clarity grading, except for diamond.

10X is the basis for diamond clarity grading.

When examined with a gemological microscope, almost all gems show some natural inclusions. Even a sapphire graded "Flawless Sapphire " or "Free of Inclusion Sapphire " or "Eye-clean Sapphire " almost certainly contains inclusions visible at some level of magnification. (As do most Flawless diamonds.)

Some time ago, the Gemological Institute of America revised the GIA Colored Stones clarity grading system. The original system didn't take into account gems whose inclusions were so small as to be invisible to the unaided eye--the top clarity grade was VVS. The revised GIA system has added the category of "Eye Clean" and eliminated VVS and VS. But there are still some inadequacies in the GIA system so now I'm grading with the system that is probably the most widely-accepted gem clarity grading system. It starts with "Flawless / Eyeclean / Free of Inclusion" and goes through "Lightly Included, Moderately Included, Highly Included" and into the imperfect grades.

Flawless Yellow Sapphires / Eye Clean Yellow Sapphires / Free-of-Inclusion Yellow Sapphires show no inclusions to the unaided eye when examined by a trained, experienced grader using an ideal light source.

The next clarity grade below Flawless / Eye Clean / Free of inclusion is Near Flawless (NFL) / Lightly Included 1 (LI1).

Lightly Included 1 describes a gem that has just the tiniest inclusion, barely visible to the unaided eye of a trained, experienced grader. LI2 is similar but with one or two more inclusions, of the same minute size.

LI1/LI2 inclusions are so small that most people cannot see them without magnification.

Moderately Included gems: MI1 and MI 2 inclusions are slightly more visible but don't affect beauty or durability. These inclusions are often not visible to the casual observer--inclusions in MI1/MI2 gems are so small that many people cannot see them without magnification.

HI1 (Highly Included) show fairly obvious inclusions and they are never acceptable for Vedic astrological Jyotish gems.

"Looking for a REAL stone that is beautiful, has the right energy, and is Vedic quality can be like searching for hidden archeological treasure--you know it’s possible but feels like it's taking a lifetime to find!

I feel blessed to have found Bill’s website--the stone I found at www.jyotishgem.com is beautiful, powerful, and EXACTLY what I need. Bill is a gemologist of the highest order: his integrity is impeccable and I'm impressed with him as a person.  I will definitely be recommending him to other people. And the Yellow Sapphire I bought changed my life!"

Pure, Strong Color Sapphire

Do you want a round sapphire for your Jyotish prescription?

Shape isn't important to the effectiveness of a Jyotish gem but if your personal preference is for a round sapphire, this is the one!

This gem has the important factors for bringing beneficial planetary influence: fine clarity and deep, rich golden color.

It's unusual to find round shape sapphires because the "rough", uncut crystals, as they come from the mines, rarely yield this shape. This scarcity makes round sapphires in this size and quality more expensive than comparable quality oval or cushion shape sapphires.

If round shape appeals to you very strongly, it might be worth paying for this round sapphire but, from a Jyotish point of view, your money would be better spent on a larger oval or larger cushion shape of the same color and clarity.

Light Yellow Sapphire

This sapphire is light yellow; just a hint of color.

Some clients prefer a light tone gem such as this one, even though lighter gems usually have less power. (The effectiveness of a Vedic yellow sapphire increases as the color becomes more intense.)

If you prefer light yellow, this might be the perfect sapphire for you.

N
o inclusions visible to the unaided eye when examined by a trained, experienced grader using an ideal light source.

Color: Light Yellow.

The lower portion of this gem, the "pavilion", is deeper than average. This variation in proportion is often found with sapphire because the shape of the "rough" crystal, as it comes from the mine, yields a heavier gem when cut to "deep" proportions. When the pavilion is deep, the gem has a smaller "face-up" size, relative to its carat weight, compared to a stone with better proportions.

Proportion variations such as a heavy pavilion have no effect on a gem's beneficial influence for Jyotish but they do reduce the cost of the gem.

Great Price For This Color and Size Unheated Yellow Sapphire!

Affordably priced for a Jyotish gem that's over the 3 carat size--plus the color is great!

When the gem-cutter was cutting and polishing this gem, he chose pavilion angles (the facet angles on the bottom of the stone) that made a small "window" in the center of the stone.

A window in a gem is an area of reduced brilliance that results from "light leakage" out through the back of the stone. Some light escapes through the back of the stone instead of being reflected to the eye of the viewer.

The gem and jewelry trade makes a discount for windows in gemstones. So, I was able to select this one in Sri Lanka at a lower cost than it would have been otherwise. The presence of a window has absolutely no effect regarding Jyotish prescriptions so it's to our advantage to buy a fine gem that has a slight window.

A window makes it more affordable, without sacrificing the qualities that are important in Vedic sapphires.

That works to our benefit because Jyotish clients can receive a bigger, cleaner, better color gem for the same cost as a poorer quality stone. .

Large and Affordable Yellow Sapphire!

Very reasonable price for a sapphire of this size!

A slight haziness in the crystal structure combined with a light color make this sapphire very affordable.
It takes a trained eye to see the slight haziness in this gem.

I believe a smaller, better color gem that is free of haziness would be more effective--
so this would not be my first choice for Jyotish.

But if you absolutely must have an affordable, large yellow sapphire, this is the one!
