Importance of Color Shades in Jyotish Gemstones
Jyotish Gemstones are very special and Jyotish Gemstones are rare and that is the reason they are hard to obtain as life does not want us to give an easy solution. Many people benefited from Do Gems Work-No they Don’t for 90% of the people, but still errors creep in and more and often than not there are failures in Gem Therapy.
One of the most important parameters of Jyotish Gemstones is that they should have a pleasing colour. To understand this lets just take a reference for the yellow sapphire gemstone in the sacred texts.
Here is a Shloka (metered and often rhymed poetic verse or phrase) in one of the Sacred Texts for a Yellow Sapphire
Natural Ceylon Yellow Sapphires from the Lot "Akshat"
Nishprabham Karksham Ruksham PithShyamam Natonattam
Kapisham Kapilam Pandu Pushpragam Parityjet
Translated in English It means that a Yellow Sapphire whose lustre does not emanate a pleasing and brilliant Yellow Shade, whose surface feels like sand upon touching, which has a blacking hue mixed with the Yellow Shade, that which is not well proportioned, having a mixture of red and yellow shades or having a mixture of yellow and white shades should be completely discarded.
It is so fascinating that what is written in the sacred texts is so exact despite the lack of scientific and precision instruments at that point of time. The version speaks about a brilliant yellow shade and speaks about how a mix of black, red should be completely avoided.
Yellow is the color that lies between the spectrum of Orange and Green and some of the shade variants close to yellow are:
Yellowish Orange
Orangish Yellow
Yellow
Greenish Yellow
Yellowish Green
Greyish Yellow
Yellowish Grey
Brownish yellow
Yellowish Brown
So which amongst these 9 shades has a brilliant yellow shade with which the sacred text speaks about and which shades should be totally discarded.
Shades that devalue a Gemstone are called as “Off Colours” and are avoided in retail of valuable gemstones.
A certificate and terms like Natural and Unheated just are not enough to make up a Jyotish Gemstone. A Jyotish Gemstone has to qualify on a set of 50 basic parameters to be qualified as a Jyotish Gemstone. These 50 parameters are registered and trademarked Gemstoneuniverse proprietary process for a Gemstone to be graded as a Jyotish Gemstone.
Natural Unheated Certified and Still Not Jyotish Quality.
The sacred texts speak of 6 pleasing shades desired in a Yellow Sapphire and 32 defects to be avoided in a Yellow Sapphire.

The end retail market does not posses the skill sets to recommend and provide the most ideal shades. Most of the retail operators have just two parameters to provide a Stone:
Stone weight
Client Budget
The above is more of a problem in case of a Ratti Gemstone or a Ratti Astrologer.
If you were to conduct a survey of Indian Retail most of the stones would be graded” Off Color” in Gemmological terms and getting graded as poor quality stones as per the Gem Pyramid let alone being a Gemstone or even less chances of being a Jyotish Gemstone.
It is several such small things that make a Gemstone into a Jyotish Gemstone. To emphasise rarity let us inform you that we get around 100,000 visitors a month( data as on 02nd October 2014) and from March 2014 to October 2014 there was no upload on white sapphires on the Gemstoneuniverse website( despite being all sold out) as whatever we inspected did not qualify on the strict criteria of being a Jyotish Gemstone.
This White Sapphire lot also is a small lot with just 7 gemstones. You can very well understand why Jyotish Gemstones are so rare and so special and why they promise cherished results. 6 months and just 6 Gemstones getting qualified as Jyotish Gemstones despite having one of the strongest buying divisions and high traffic speak the story.
