In other words, those with Capricorn ascendant or Aquarius ascendant can wear a blue sapphire. The planet Saturn has lordship over the zodiac signs of Capricorn and Aquarius.

The process of formation of different gem crystals has a different effect on the appearance of the gem. More violent the process of crystal formation viz a viz the strength and toughness of crystal, viz. the emerald, the more inclusions it will bear. While the parameter of clarity assumes a very important dimension in the world of natural diamonds, clarity is rather a relative concept in the world of colored gemstones.

A precious colored gemstone with superb clarity is much rarer than diamonds. A gemstone with richer, darker shades is able to overshadow the inclusions with its rich saturation, while a light colored crystal will be quick to outline them. Determination of value of a colored gemstone therefore is contingent upon several parameters looked at relatively, quite unlike the way diamonds are !
