Unheated Blue Spinel - Shani - Saturn - Saturday

Unheated Blue Spinel is the secondary gemstone for Shani/Saturn.

Color: There is a large range of color from pale, grayish blue to deep pure blue, with slight violet secondary. The best range is a light to medium, fine 'cornflower' blue which is not too dark. Look for 'sweet', pleasing colors.

Clarity: Blue Spinels should be eye flawless - the more flawless, the better the quality. Minor rutile silk inclusions are acceptable and prove that the gem has not been heat treated. Avoid any but the most minute crystal inclusions, no cracks or cloudy quality. Avoid moderate to significant color zoning. Cleaner is better for Saturn gems.

Shape: Oval, cushion, emerald cut, round.

Size: 3 carats or larger is ideal.

Enhancements: Avoid heated Blue Spinels of all types. The Garuda Purana states that heated Saturn gemstones are very bad for the wearer.
