Gemology : Quality of Gems
Finding the highest quality, requisitely sized and most affordable astrological quality gems is a vital and no simple matter. Very few jewelers are knowledgeable about Ayurvedic prescriptions. Few are trained in gemology and so know little about the common crystal material-altering practices or gem color-enhancing processes of commercial opportunism so common today. Even fewer understand the importance of the specific quality of the gems required or how they must be set to maximize their effects. Jewelers often have difficulty in following the essential instructions of fashioning a jewelry piece with the gem set to make good skin contact. Synthetic or imitation materials are sometimes mistakenly offered as natural stones without explaining the difference between these and the far different laboratory-grown crystals. For most people not knowledgeable about gems, trade names and claims of quality can be misleading and cause them to purchase lower quality and therefore ineffective materials. In as much as this situation exists, I have made it my priority to provide the highest-quality and lowest-priced astrological gems and metals.
