Bollywood Star Sanjay Dutt wears Yellow Sapphire and Natural Pearl

Sanjay Dutt in a still from the movie Kidnap. See his Natural Pearl and Yellow Sapphire.

Sanjay Dutt, born 29 July 1959, is an Indian Bollywood film actor and politician. Dutt is the son of Bollywood stars Sunil and Nargis Dutt. Ever since his debut in the early 1980s,

Sanjay Dutt often affectionately referred to us Sanju baba is a big fan of Gemology and has been using gemstones since the early part of his career.

Remember his blockbuster films like Yalgaar and Khalnayak where he was using a Ceylon Blue Sapphire in the middle finger of his right hand.

In the last decade his gemstones have been constant. He is currently wearing a Yellow sapphire in the index finger of right and a Natural Pearl.

Both Jupiter and Moon have been munificent planets for him and he has been rewarded with much success in Munna Bhai MBBS, taking the plunge into politics etc.

We wish Mr. Dutt all the best. Incidentally Sanju is very cool about his rings and does not make an attempt to hide them.

Useless Dyed Ruby Stones -This is EXACTLY what you should not purchase

Don’t just depend on an Honest Face of gemstone vendor, insist on a certificate!  If you want to do mathematics, you cannot do quality!

Completely useless Dyed Ruby Stones

Today we got an offer from a so called Gem Merchant offering these bluff stones what he classifies as Rubies. Offer price $250 for 1 Kg (5000 carats!). Are we joking?

No the above stones are faceted dyed poor quality Rubies and this is what that is available in the name of Ruby for planetary purposes in 99.99% of gem outlets/ vendors.

Now imagine the economics behind this transaction. Suppose someone invests $250 and purchases 5000 carats of these bluff stones  and sells it at $5 per carat/ INR 250, this person stands to make $5*5000 carats=$25,000/-. Phew! That is pretty cool eh! Normally in the Indian Sub continent this stuff gets sold at around Rs.800-Rs.1000 per carat. Approximately $ 20 per carat. That makes the return go to $100,000 and profit of $99750/- for an investment of $250.

Even if someone’s wears on himself/ herself with 10,000 carats of these bluff stones they will not get any result. A 50 cent tiny  natural Burma ruby will act as a Turbo Charged Missile if we compare it to this stuff.

We have issued it in public interest. This same bluff ruby is available on popular Astrology and Auction websites for $50 per carat. Please help us stop this gross abuse.

Planetary Gemology is a powerful science and gives powerful results. Gemology does not fail. It is bluff stones that make it fail.
