The value of a gemstone is determined by its color, purity, processing, and weight of the gemstone. Among them, the color of the gemstones accounts for 50% of the gem quality grade, the purity is 30%, and the honing process accounts for 20%. Each part is divided into 10 grades by 110 points. For a given gem, the sum of its three quality factors is multiplied by the respective percentage, and the total quality of the gemstone is added. The indicative price of the gemstone is derived from the size (weight) and quality level of the gemstone.

For the color of the gemstone, the general requirement is that the color is positive, the light is shining, bright, crystal and spirited.
