Origin

One of the most basic, yet important criteria that influences and adds up to the overall price of a Yellow Sapphire gemstone is its place of origin. Yellow Sapphires are most commonly found in Myanmar (Burma), Ceylon (SriLanka), Thailand (Bangkok), and Madagascar.

Color

Yellow Sapphire stones comes in a wide variety of yellow shades that ranges from pale yellow to golden yellow to deep yellow. For astrology, the most yellow, that is a deeper and brighter Yellow Sapphire stone is recommend. Pale yellow stones do not hold much of demand and significance in astrological purposes. Many of Yellow Sapphire stones in market are heated/treated/filled for color enhancement. So, make sure the gemstone is naturally self colored for best results.

Carat

While wearing any gemstone, it is important to know how many carats (ratti) is the ideal weight of the stone as the power of gems is entirely dependent on its weight and size. Ideally, it is said and observed that one carat for 12 kgs is perfect that is a 60 kg person should wear 5 carat of Yellow Sapphire ring/pendant. The price per carat of the Yellow Sapphire increases with the increasing carats. Though, one can easily find the quality of a large Panna as larger stones are more beautiful in comparison to the smaller stones.

Clarity

Most Natural Gemstones have inclusions due to their geological formation or growth that happens under uncontrolled conditions of temperature, pressure & geological occurrences. So, Yellow Sapphires too have natural inclusions like fingerprints, included crystals etc. Fewer or less visible inclusions lead to more transparency, better quality & thus higher price. Flawless or inclusion free Yellow Sapphires are rarely formed, out of reach & thus exorbitantly expensive. But, there is optimum level of transparency needed in the gemstone to be used for Astrological purpose.

Cut

The cut is also very important while fixing the price of a Yellow Sapphire gemstone or any other gemstone as well. The cut and finish of the stone depicts the quality and sheen of the gemstone and therefore the more finished and smooth the gemstone, the more pricing it will have in the market. Highly faceted gemstones are more expensive than the poorly cut stones due to the extra stone wastage, labor & other costs incurred in the process. A finely cut Yellow Sapphire looks brighter & well illuminated.

Certificate

If you buy a gemstone from a reputed and trusted gemstone expert, then they will surely give you a certificate from a reputed laboratory. This certificate will ensure the quality, origin, color and cut of the stone.
