Regarding Gemstones-Quality, Price, Inclusions etc
No the gem has to be Jyotish quality to give results. It can be any shape, the results will not vary if it is Jyotish Quality. Go for a shape and cut which appeals to you most.
What is Jyotish Quality:
No the origin does not matter. What matters is that the gemstone has to be Jyotish Quality. If a Gem has qualified to be Jyotish Quality, it shall give results regardless of the origin. There is no truth in statements such as a Colombian Emerald will be more effective than a Zambian One. What matters is that the Gemstone is Jyotish Quality.
To identify a Jyotish Gemstone requires expertise, education and practice, which is not available in the market. Treated and heated gemstones are not Jyotish Gemstones, which is obvious, but there is no guarantee that even if the gem is untreated and natural it is Jyotish Quality. Only Jyotish Quality Gems give results. The links below shall explain in detail the value of this information.

There is a lot of difference between flaws and inclusions. Inclusions are the birth marks of a Gemstone and often are the definitive markers whether a Gemstone has been treated or not.

Treatments can be broadly classified as ethical treatments and non-ethical treatments. Treatments done to stabilize gem color such as heating without any elements is an ethical treatment provided it is disclosed at the time of the sale. This particular heat treatment is considered acceptable as it mimics a process that occurs in nature. As per the policy of ethical disclosure any treatment should be clearly explained to the customer before the closure of the sale.
Treatments done to modify gemstone appearance to sell at a higher price is an unethical treatment. For examples Sapphires treated with Beryllium or Emeralds treated with Green dye and sold as untreated are unethical treatments. When the above conditions operate the gemstone is minimally effective and in some cases it is not effective at all. Natural, Untreated gemstones come at a premium price.
In a single word, NO. They may be used for Jewellery and cosmetic purposes but they have no planetary value. As per the PGA code of ethics individuals dealing in synthetics are in the PGA off list. You can access this list here PGA OFF List.
At the very outset we would like to clarify two things:
1) Before the gem is set in a ring/ pendant it is sent for certification. If the gemstone has any crack the gemstone is not certified.
2) After the gemstone is set it is sent for appraisal. If the gemstone has any damage or crack then it is not appraised.
Blue Sapphire is made of Aluminium Oxide. What you are seeing and what is appearing to you as a crack is: Silk - three directional needles of rutile intersecting at 60° / 120°; Needles of boehmite intersecting at almost 90°; Needles of ilmenite etc and Parallel polysynthetic twin lamellae that give that optical phenomena that is appearing as a crack.
Please understand that if there was a crack the gemstone would not have been certified or appraised.
Please wear your gemstone with confidence.
Your Gemstone ring/ Pendant goes through stringent Quality controls before it is shipped. Please do not get confused and take inclusions as cracks.
Please send an e mail to service@gemstoneuniverse.com and if it is a valid question we shall try to get back to you in 1 business day if you are an existing patron or in 3-5 business days. You can call us during office hours. Details can be accessed at the link below:
There is no periodicity in upload of new inventory. Real natural Gemstones are rare and Jyotish Gemstones are even rarer. We are devoted to the sacred science of Planetary Gem therapy and to keep result oriented flawless gem therapy we list only Jyotish Gems. The criteria for a Gem to be Jyotish Gem are very strict and very few gemstones make the cut as Jyotish Quality. Even though we have thousands of Gems at our buying division we only list those that are Jyotish Quality and not just any gem.

Each Gem listed on Gemstoneuniverse is a true Jyotish Gemstone with a promise to deliver results as per Planetary Gem therapy.
All Gem Labs in the world have their own formats for certifying a Gem.
In any standard Gemstone certification worldwide 5/6 pieces of Information are the most vital.
1) Identification of the Gemstone Family such as Ruby or Sapphire (this is done by determining many factors such as Refractive index, specific gravity etc and this academic data is standard for all gemstones hence RI/ SG are not mentioned as this uniform data is available in all Gem Tables and if this academic data is also reported in the certificate then there will be no space for the most vital data).
2) Cut 3) Weight 4) Measurements of the Gem 5) Colour 6) Remarks about Treatment if any. The word natural by convention is only used for Untreated Gemstones.
Why a particular lab uses a particular set of language and why other does not use the same language (In Gemological Terms they mean one and the same thing) is not under our control. If you have an issue with a particular certificate then do not purchase that Gem and choose a Gem whose certification is more acceptable to you. For this you should get directly in touch with the lab. For more information on the same please click here.
