Frequently Ask Questions
Below are frequently asked questions, you may find the answer for yourself.
Gemstone Authenticity & Selection
It is challenging for an untrained individual to confirm if a gemstone is real. Professional gemological tools are required to accurately identify a gemstone's authenticity. Common DIY methods like scratching or freezing the gemstone may cause damage. Look for a Certificate of Authenticity from a reputable laboratory to ensure the gemstone’s authenticity. All gemstones sold at Mauhurtika Gems come with this certification from renowned labs.
When selecting a gemstone, consider its color, clarity, and durability. A gemstone's color should have the correct balance of hue, tone, and saturation. A gemstone with good clarity will generally cost more. Gemstones are graded based on their clarity, and those with higher clarity (like IF, VVS1, and VVS2) are more valuable.
No, the shape of a gemstone is purely aesthetic. It does not impact the astrological or metaphysical properties of the stone.

Gemstone Quality and Types

Inclusions and cracks are natural features of gemstones and are used to differentiate between natural and synthetic stones. These imperfections are part of what makes each gem unique.
