A natural emerald

400 years of Jaipur heritage

Natural, certified, from the right origins

What makes a gemstone right for Jyotish.

Why it matters

  • Natural, never synthetic

    Jyotish calls for natural stones. Every gem Vedic Gems offers is natural and suitable for Jyotish.

  • Independently certified

    Every stone is verified by IGI, the International Gemological Institute, and examined by in-house gemologists before it ships.

  • Proof of origin

    The IGI certificate records origin, treatment status and authenticity. Blue sapphires, for example, come from Madagascar, Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and Kashmir.

  • Trusted sourcing

    Stones are sourced through trusted origin markets and sellers, then cut and polished in Jaipur.

Example: Blue Sapphire (Neelam)

Coloured by iron and titanium, blue sapphire belongs to the corundum family and measures 9 on the Mohs scale. In Vedic astrology it is associated with Saturn (Shani) and is traditionally believed to support focus, discipline and career growth.

On vedicgems.com, faceted Madagascar blue sapphires of around 4–6.5 carats were listed from about ₹13,600 to ₹18,200 (October 2026). The best choice always depends on an astrologer’s review of your birth chart.
