Astrological Gemstones Pricing Guide 2024

Vedic Astrological Gemstones are very powerful and are known for their beauty, symbolism, and astrological significance. The original gemstones are mined from different locations in the world. Some of them are rare and expensive while some are found at pretty reasonable prices. This is because there are a number of factors which influence the price of a gemstone.

The gems that are rare and are found in limited quantities are the most expensive. But there are some other aspects as well that determine the price of a gemstone such as color, cut, clarity, carat weight, origin, market trend, market demand, and the treatment processes done on the stone.

In this blog, we will discuss - Astrological Gemstone Pricing Guide and How can you determine the price of an astrological gemstone?

What Factors Influence Pricing?

What affects the price and how the cost of the stone is determined? Here are all the factors that will affect the cost of a gemstone:

1. Color - The gems that are pale in color or have lighter shades are less desirable. Ones with vivid colors, and uniform color distribution with no overtones and zoning are loved and so more valuable. For example, a royal blue sapphire with deep blue hue and no overtone will cost high while on the other hand, a Blue sapphire with light blue hue will cost less.
2. Clarity - The clarity of the gemstone is the absence of flaws in the gem. There are inclusions or flaws in every gem, so the ones that have fewer flaws are of good clarity and are more desirable in the market. For example, ruby gemstones often have silk like needle structure inclusions in them. The rubies in which these inclusions are not eye-visible are highly desirable and are priced high while low clarity gems with visible inclusions are valued less.
3. Cut - A gem is cut to be mounted in jewelry pieces layouts. A skillful cut that is precise needs more expertise. Hence, an accurate cut gem will be sold at higher selling rates. Also, some cuts need more focus and expertise, hence they are more worthy, such as princess, emerald-cut and briolette cut. They are hard and need precision.
4. Carat weight - Stones are found in all sizes from small to big. Most of the stones are found in smaller sizes and larger pieces of good quality are rare, which is why they command more selling price. Since beautiful adornments and pieces of gems can be created by larger gems, they are highly in demand by astrologers and jewelry industries. For Example, Emeralds in larger sizes are very rare, so they can cost in millions as well. Take The Emerald Unguentarium for instance which weighs around 2,860 carats and its value is estimated to be 100 million dollars as per today’s market.
5. Origin - Some origins or sources of the gem are known in history for producing best quality gems. They are popular and so gemstones from these origins, especially of good quality, are sold at higher prices. Such as the Burma rubies, Ceylon yellow sapphires and Colombian emeralds.
6. Market Trend - The market trend of stones also influences the prices. Some gemstones come in trend over time and go out of it as well. Like blue sapphire engagement ring of Princess Diana made blue sapphire very trendy and popular so their demand went high and value increased while after a few years, it decreased and now when Prince Harry proposed to Kate Middleton with the same ring, the trend of coloured gemstone as engagement rings specially the blue sapphire peaked again.
7. Demand & Supply Chain - If the supply is limited and demand is high, the prices will, no doubt, hike. Australian Opal is in trend nowadays and its demand is increasing while the supply is limited. Hence, its price is increasing.
8. Treatment - To improve the color and clarity of the gemstone, these stones are treated either by heating or by Glass-Filling, Diffusion, Irradiation, etc. These treatment processes decrease the price of the gemstone. Astrologically, it is believed that one should wear natural and untreated gems only.
