These pencils are used to try and
scratch a stone and observe if the pencils can scratch the gem. Since this is a
destructive method (it leaves a scratch), this test is mostly used on pieces of
rough or on a inconspicuous place on the gemstone. It is also suitable for
various other geological, construction, as well as industrial test &
research purposes.


The gemstone is tested with a pencil of
low hardness (starting at 4 or lower no. of hardness pencil) to try to put a
tiny scratch on the stone without applying pressure. If no scratch is observed,
one repeats this process with a pencil of higher hardness no. (in this case one
can use the no.5) and so on until one arrives at the pencil that is able to put
a tiny scratch on the stone.


For instance, if one could not scratch
the mineral with pencil no.5 but it would leave a scratch with pencil no.6 the
hardness of the mineral must be between 5 and 6 on Mohs scale.

Industrial Uses

To determine the hardness of a concrete
surface relative to Mohs’ hardness scale you must perform a scratch test. Start
by using the lowest number pick and continue up the scale until the concrete
begins to scratch and that is your numeric number of hardness relative to the
Mohs’ scale.

1 = Softest 10 = Hardest



Tooling Reference to Mohs’ hardness
scale:

2-3: Hard Tooling

Ruby Star 4.87 cts / 5.35 Ratti from Mahavir Gems


An asterism or a star effect in a gemstone is an optical phenomenon displayed by some rubies, sapphires, and other gemstones (e.g. garnet, Rose quartz, diopside, spinel) of an enhanced reflective area in the shape of a 4 to 6 ray "star" on the surface of a cabochon cut from the stone. The cabochon cut can be Oval, Round or any other shape.

Gemstones that exhibit special optical phenomena, including asterism (the star effect), chatoyancy (the cat's eye effect), adularescence (shimmering light) and iridescence (the rainbow effect) are categorised as phenomenal gemstones.

Because these phenomenal gems are fairly rare, they naturally attract the attention of rare gems collectors are priced much higher than their normally available counterparts. 

As a Gem Blogger, I have visited various gem dealers & collectors but one of the best collection of Unused & Natural Star Ruby I have ever seen is with Mahavir Gems.
One of the most trusted source of Natural Unused gemstones online.

Astrologically too their gemstones are much effective and better result yielding.

100% natural cabochon ruby of 4.87 ct / 5.35 Ratti reflecting an opalescent star like image owing to its regular internal structure.

Purchase a Gemstone in "Carat" or "Ratti"?

Purchase a Gemstone in "Carat" or "Ratti"?

We normally receive a question from our customer. “What is ratti and and why are gemstones weighed in carat?”. Here you will find an explanation for the same.
"Ratti" came into existence in the absence of precise digital weighing machines, instruments and technology to weight any material.
A ratti is a traditional unit of mass measurement, and has now been standardized as 0.12125 gram. It was measured by the ratti seed. This seed is actually “Abrus Precatorius” seed.
Important notes about Carat, Grams and Ratti (Gram vs Carat vs Ratti):

Conversion from Carat and Ratti to mg
  • 1 Carat = 200 mg
  • 1 Ratti = 121.5 mg (in ayurveda this Rati is used) or
  • 1 Ratti = 182.25 mg
In India buying and selling of gemstones (birthstones)  is done according to Rati weight, but it is advised to buy them according to Carat weight because carat is a standard measurement accepted universally.

Ayurvedic Ratti
  • 1 tola = 11.664 gms
  • 1 tola = 12 masha
  • 1 masha = 8 ratti
  • 1 tola = 12 x 8 ratti
  • 1 ratti = 121.5 mg
  • 1 ratti = 0.6 carat (This is used for stone buying)
Gold Ratti
  • 1 tola = 16 aane
  • 1 aana = 4 ratti
  • 1 ratti = 182.25 mgm
  • 1 ratti = 0.9 carat

Also, its to be noted that all gemstone laboratories across the globe provide certifications with stone weight in carat and not in ratti. Get your astrological gemstones / birthstones in carat weight at Mahavir Gems Shop or call us on +91 9664115110 for a free expert gemmologist consultation.
