Third-factor saturation refers to the intensity of the brightness of the color. The more saturated the gemstone is the purer it is. The last factor is distribution; it refers to how evenly the color spreads out across the body of the Natural Gemstone.
Check the cut
The other essential criteria on which the value of a gemstone is depended is the cut. A good cut means it should be proportioned to display a gem’s depth of color and liveliness while revealing the fewest imperfections. Colored natural gemstones are sometimes cut with facets, or cut as a cabochon or a smooth dome without facets.
The better the cut of the gemstone the more it will sparkle and life it will exhibit. Sometimes because of cuts, the prices may vary so while buying it ask the cut and then calculate the price. A cut is the overall quality of the cutting process: shape, symmetry, proportions, and facets, finish and so on.
