Several factors play a role in determining value: beauty, rarity, durability, cut, demand (desirability) and color. If a gem is not beautiful, few people will desire it. One may be drawn by a Gem's beauty, but rarity gives the gem its exclusivity. The gem must be durable enough to endure over the time. The degree of cutting finesse makes the difference between a dull stone and a brilliant Gemstone.

What moves one person may not stir another. Nevertheless, there are trade standards for preferred colors which translate into varying prices. Buy the color that speaks to you, but buy from a professional who is familiar with the color stone market, has your interests at heart and can advise you accordingly.
