Our Editorial Standards

Every piece of content published on GemLabTesting follows these core principles:

  1. Accuracy First

We ensure all information is thoroughly researched and verified before publication. Our content is based on:

  • Traditional Hindu scriptures (Shiva Purana, Padma Purana, Rudraksha Jabala Upanishad)
  • Established Vedic astrology principles
  • Gemological references and industry standards
  • Personal hands-on experience with gemstones and Rudraksha
  • Consultations with experienced practitioners and dealers

When scientific evidence is limited (as with metaphysical properties), we clearly state that information is based on traditional beliefs rather than proven science.

  1. Experience-Based Content

Unlike generic content sites, our articles are informed by real, hands-on experience:

  • We have personally examined hundreds of Rudraksha beads
  • We share insights from visiting gemstone markets and suppliers
  • We include practical tips that only come from direct experience
  • We provide real examples and case studies where possible
  1. Honesty and Transparency

We believe in complete transparency with our readers:

  • We clearly distinguish between proven facts and traditional beliefs
  • We disclose any affiliate relationships or sponsored content
  • We acknowledge when we don’t have enough information on a topic
  • We recommend consulting professionals for important decisions
  1. Reader-First Approach

Our content is created to genuinely help readers, not to promote products:

  • We don’t accept payment to recommend specific sellers
  • Our buying guides prioritize reader protection over sales
  • We include warnings about common scams and fake products
  • We encourage readers to verify information independently
  1. Originality

All content on GemLabTesting is originally created:

  • We don’t copy or spin content from other websites
  • Images are either original photographs or properly licensed
  • When referencing other sources, we provide proper attribution
  • Our perspectives and recommendations are our own

Content Creation Process

Here’s how we create each piece of content:

Step 1: Research
We begin with extensive research using scriptures, gemological resources, and our personal knowledge base. For topics requiring current information, we consult recent industry sources.

Step 2: Experience Integration
We incorporate insights from our hands-on experience with gemstones and Rudraksha, adding practical value that research alone cannot provide.

Step 3: Writing

Step 4: Fact-Checking
All factual claims are verified against multiple sources. Traditional/spiritual claims are labeled as such.
