Becoming an educated consumer when purchasing a gemstone for Jyotish and Vedic Astrology, is not an easy matter. As general rules, look for the best quality you can afford. Simultaneously, choose based on your personal taste of beauty, appeal and intuitive gratification.
A Jyotish quality gemstone is a true power of nature. It needs to be:
1- Natural, untreated or without high impact treatments, which are nowadays very widespread and not disclosed. It is estimated that completely natural gemstones without treatments account for a mere 5% in the marketplace.
2- Very clean to the eye, without any distracting inclusions visible.
3-Well cut and proportioned.
4- Possessing a sweet feel, a Sattwa, an intrinsic, elevating quality of nature. The gemstone and its jewel should evoke a feeling of beauty and contentment at first sight.
The auspicity of a Jyotish gem is directly proportional to your Karmic situation. It is important that you get the best quality you can afford, in terms of the gem and the setting, without straining your finances.
Only then, your Jyotish gemstones and Planetary Talisman will please you and work for you.
