Gemstones should be cut to enhance the energy of the stone so the cut should be brilliant and pleasing. Stones should also not be overly shallow, where there is a window of transparency through the center. The stones should be cut symmetrically so that the bottom point or line of the stone is located centrally under the table (the central face of the stone). The shapes can be round, oval, square, rectangle, triangular, pear, etc. The shape of the stone you get is not as important as the quality of the cutting of the stone. Yellow Sapphires are some of the few Sapphires that come in large sizes so you can even find untreated stones in excess of 10 to 20 carats! So if you’re looking for a strong dose of Jupiter, you might want to consider something in a larger carat size if your budget allows. Stones that have exceptional color and clarity can be less than 2 carats but the larger the stone the better the effect. Only a trained gemologist should analyze a stone under magnification to determine its clarity level.Īs with other sapphires, it is recommended to wear one that is over 2 carats. Characteristics like silk (the gemological term for trace minerals of rutile) are considered ok in moderation. There also shouldn’t be any moderate to significant color zoning (streaks of transparency with no color). The gem should have no cracks or cloudiness, nor any crystals that disrupt the flow of light in the stone. Instead, the stones should be eye flawless and under magnification avoid any but the most minute inclusions. A perfectly flawless Sapphire under magnification is extremely rare and not a realistic criteria. All Sapphires are considered a Type II gemstone, which means they always form with some growth characteristics in them. The clarity of Sapphires is probably the most important factor when selecting a stone for astrology, but also one of the most difficult things to gauge.

Optional: Golden sapphires are often sold for Jupiter but be aware if you purchase a stone that is closer to golden-orange you may be getting a dose of Sun energy as well. Stones like this should always come with a certificate of authenticity from a gemologist or a laboratory certificate. Light yellow is also acceptable, but if it’s so pale that the stone almost looks colorless it will not have a strong enough Jupiter energy.īe wary of stones that have too bright of a yellow color, they are often heat or even chemically treated to produce a false yellow color.

The stronger the yellow color, the more rare and valuable the sapphire. Yellow Sapphires of a bright lemon yellow are ideal for astrology.
