3C Rule - Cut, Color and Clarity
- Cut: Cut of a real gemstone is not only about its shape. It refers to way its sides are polished so light can pass and reflect beautifully. A good cut increases the shine and brightness of the gem.
- Color: Thailand yellow sapphires are found in many shades, from light yellow to deep golden yellow. Best shade for astrology is deep golden yellow color, as it holds maximum energy of Jupiter.
- Clarity: Clarity means how clear stone looks. Small marks or lines are common in natural stones. If a stone looks 100% perfect, it is probably man-made. Thailand yellow sapphires are usually very clear to the eye, also called “eye-clean.”
