Blue Sapphire Buying Guide

Check its Origin:

Ceylon (Sri Lanka) is the source of the finest blue sapphires available at reasonable prices. The mines have not produced premium Kashmir sapphires for many years, so they are rarely available at affordable prices.

Observe their Color:

The best quality Blue Sapphire gemstones are rich blue in color and unique velvety texture. Less intense or deeper blue sapphires are less expensive per carat than pale, gray, and sky-blue sapphires. While the ideal color intensity is a matter of personal preference, you should always look for sweet, open tones. The gemstone should not be too dark or blackish in color.

Notice their Clarity:

Avoid moderate to severe color partitioning (transparency streaks with no color). Avoid purchasing very low-quality blue sapphire which are extremely milky and have black spots in them.

Examine their Inclusions:

Natural blue sapphires will have some inclusions & bubbles. The lesser the inclusions the higher will be the price of the gemstone. Make sure the inclusions are inside the gemstone, do not purchase blue sapphires with surface level cracks, chips, or any form of damage. To distinguish between inclusions and surface level cracks you can run your nails across the crack if your nails get stuck. That means the surface is damaged if not then it is an inclusion inside the gemstone which is natural.

Avoid purchasing glass like clear Blue Sapphires without certification from a trusted laboratory. It is recommended to purchase blue sapphires with less inclusion which are not visible to the naked eye. Avoid buying blue sapphires which are cloudy and milky and have many black spots/impurities inside them.

See their Shape:

To maximize their carat weight, sapphires are faceted. Ovals and cushions tend to maximize weight and, consequently, value. Rounds are more expensive because valuable material must be removed from the corners to create them. Emerald and radiant cuts are less frequent in blue sapphires, but they can occasionally be found at reasonable prices. The shape is a personal preference one can choose any shape however should ensure that the sapphire is unheated, untreated and certified from a reputable source.

Check the Carats:

For Blue Sapphire of gem quality, the raw Blue Sapphire is divided and polished into smaller stones of variable carat weight. In general, Blue Sapphire weighing between 1 and 5 carats are appropriate for jewelry. Because Blue Sapphire is sold by weight, Blue Sapphire prices are calculated per carat. Stones of comparable dimensions but distinct varieties vary greatly in price. The more carats and clarity Blue Sapphire has, the higher its price.

Avoid Heated & Treated Blue Sapphire

Due to treatments the Blue Sapphire stone loses its natural composition and thus loses its natural frequency. These heated and treated Blue Sapphire do not offer any healing benefits and should be avoided.

How long do the effects of Blue Sapphire last?

If cared for properly, a Blue Sapphire can be worn as jewelry for generations. You must wear it until your chakras are balanced. Typically, experts advise wearing gemstones for four years, after which they are no longer necessary.

For the best results it is highly recommended that one wears only 100% natural, unheated, and untreated Blue Sapphire gemstones. As per the Vedic scriptures, a heat treatment harms its sattvic nature, rendering the stone less effective and beneficial. Like other gemstones, the quality of Blue Sapphire is also determined by the four Cs (Color, Cut, Carat, Clarity). 

Color

The best quality blue sapphire is pure blue in color with vivid and vibrant color saturation and tone that is not too dark or light. The color should be evenly distributed with no visible color-zone.  

Cut

Best quality blue sapphires have cuts that maximize the effect of hue, tone, saturation, and surface area. The optimal cuts for a blue sapphire are oval, round, and cushion. A round cut is considered to be one of the most classic shapes, and it maximizes the gem's brilliance. Cushion cut, also known as the 'pillow-cut,' has been beloved for generations due to its resemblance to a cushion.

Carat

Blue Sapphire of 5 – 7 carat is most popular in Vedic Astrology. Significant smaller and larger Blue Sapphire are used in contemporary jewelry. Generally, the price of Blue Sapphire rises as the size/weight/carat increases.

Clarity

Blue Sapphire typically contains some inclusions. These inclusions are natural and can be in the form of bubbles, cracks or fissures, or black spots. However, if the stones are naturally unheated and untreated they bestow their benefits. It is recommended to wear stones with lesser inclusions and the highest clarity.

The fewer the inclusions, the brighter and clearer the blue sapphire. Inclusions in premium quality blue sapphire are almost invisible to the naked eye, whereas inclusions in economy grade stones are more visible. Therefore, the wearer has the option of wearing 1-4 carats in Premium Grade stones or more than 4 carats in Economy Grade stones.

Dealers deal in Blue Sapphire stones which are synthetic to natural but which are treated/heated and color enhanced, so it is immensely important to purchase only from a reputed dealer with certification from a reputed lab.

Blue Sapphire gemstone Price

The price of Blue Sapphire can range from INR 12000/carat to INR 130,000/carat.

Blue sapphire price depends upon various factors such as quality (4Cs), origin and treatment among others. Depending upon the color, clarity and cut, blue sapphires can be categorized as economy and premium grade stones.

Please note that we at Rudra Centre deal only in 100% natural untreated and unheated premium quality certified blue sapphires sourced responsibly from all over the world.      

When a gemstone is heat-treated or undergoes the dying process, its healing properties are lost when it is worn. Blue Sapphire has numerous curative properties; to maximize its curative effects, only untreated Blue Sapphire stone should be worn.

How to Identify or Test Original & Authentic Blue Sapphire?

The best way to check the authenticity of Blue Sapphire is by getting a Lab tested report from a reputed laboratory. Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our Blue Sapphires are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Blue Sapphire carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Blue Sapphire is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Blue Sapphires have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Neelams, but if you find flaws, then your Blue Sapphire is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Blue Sapphires are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Neelams. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Blue Sapphire, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Blue Sapphire from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Blue Sapphire. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Neelam. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural blue color of the gem.

Blue Sapphire Cleaning & Maintenance

Blue Sapphires must be cleaned frequently to preserve their vibrant sparkle.

First you need to polish it using a soft, dry jewelry polishing cloth. Before using soap and water, polishing the gemstones will remove some of the less tenacious stains and tarnishes, making the entire cleaning process more effective and efficient.

Soak the Blue Sapphire for several minutes in lukewarm, soapy water. After soaking, remove stubborn smudges and dirt with a soft-bristled toothbrush or a soft-bristled cloth. Avoid scratching its surface while washing it and then you may rinse it in a natural source of water or hold it under cold, running water from any natural faucet.

Add a pinch of Himalayan or sea salt to the cleansing process to assist the Blue Sapphire in releasing any negative energy it may have absorbed from prolonged use or when worn for the first time.

For optimal energization, you may allow it to dry in early sunlight or full moonlight so that light can pass through it.
