Which is the Gemstone of Courage and Removal of Fear?

April 4, 2018 by gemstoneuniverse

Fine Japanese Red Coral Pendant from the Gemstoneuniverse Collection

Since centuries man’s quest for improvement of life in various sectors has been eternal.

Whether it is improvement in social status, financial status, better health it is a basic human tendency to constantly seek change a positive change.

People with higher ideals also seek change albeit a spiritual one. They are looking for a better quality of meditation, better level of spiritual realization, higher and deeper spiritual insights etc.

A particular segment of people amongst us, are constantly nervous, fearful, and anxious. They are constantly under the pressure of being judged or criticized or care too much about the opinion of others. Some are afraid of falling ill, other of getting hurt, some afraid of falling ill and others of multiple fears.

Such people many times miss many opportunities life serves them just because they are too fearful and decide its better to stay in the background rather than being criticized or being made fun of.

Because of this attitude they miss several life experiences or one can say that their quality of life is severely restricted.

Their life is a compromise and is taken over just by fear and anxiety.

What is the way ahead for them? Is there a way that can take them out of this so called imaginary constructed prison?

Can gem therapy help in such cases of emotional complexes and give a higher life experience index?

In Vedic Astrology the planet Mars has been accorded the status of the Commander of the Army of the Gods. This is because the essential character of Mars is that of a dynamic action oriented leader that fights for truth with courage and vitality with no fear.

The word here to concentrate on is “No Fear”.

Mars is young, energetic, dynamic and full of heroism and that is the precise reason that you shall see that heroic figures in action oriented careers like army, navy, sports and other competitive activities have a power Mars placement in their horoscope.

Almost all famous military generals have had a powerful Mars placement in their birth chart.

Sri Hanuman Ji Represents Mars Energy

In Hinduism the heroic Gods of Wars famous for Valorous deeds like Lord Kartikeya and Sri Hanuman Ji are represented by Mars energy.

The Same Mars energy is ingrained in the Gem of Mars-the Red Coral and Red Coral is the Gem of courage and Removes Fear & Anxiety. The red colour represents the blood which in turn represents the basic vitality and life force of nature.

The red coral has a powerful effect on the circulatory system of the body. Wearing a Red coral gives a sense of purpose, grounding, focus, courage and initiative to the wearer.

It gives a clear mind and removes unnecessary blocks and obstacles. It makes the wearer focus on the task on hand rather than wither away energies on imaginary fears. It gives hopes and strength to the heart that nothing is impossible.

A thorough analysis of the position Mars should be made in the horoscope and the Red Coral should be worn only after an expert recommendation.

The glorious Gem therapy of India has definitive answers to life problems rather than some wishy washy psychological new age mantras etc provided you are at the right place with the right diagnosis and the right tools.

Do all real Gems have flaws? Why or Why Not?

March 21, 2018 by gemstoneuniverse

Flawless Yellow Sapphire Jyotish Gemstone Ring from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of fine Jyotish Gemstones.

Summary

Flaws are different from Inclusions. Inclusions in a real & untreated Gemstone helps a Gem professional identify & conclusively specify the gem family.

Flaws are different from Inclusions.

Inclusions in a real and untreated Gemstone helps a Gem professional or a Gemologist identify and conclusively specify the gem/ mineral family and that the Gem was made in the lap of Mother Nature and exposed to the natural environment over many years rather than synthesized in a Lab.

All Gem families have characteristic inclusions/ tell tale signs that help in Gem identification and classification.

It’s beyond the scope of this platform to explain inclusions for each Gem family but as an example take Emerald for instance. It is always an included stone with presence of Jardines/ Gardens. These conclusively help a Gem professional identify that the Emerald is real and natural.

An Ultra clear Emerald will immediately raise a doubt in a professionals mind that the Gem has been treated to enhance clarity.

That being said the less inclusions the better the stone and that raises the quality which in turn is directly proportional to price.

There are many kinds of flaws. For example such color zoning or double colour in a single gem. These should be avoided by those looking at quality.

Also certain types of Astrological flaws have been described in numerous ancient texts that have to be absolutely avoided in Jyotish Gemstones as they lead to bad results. This requires deep knowledge and several years of practice. An example of Astrological flaws to be avoided is given here.

A Gem professional would be easily able to identify the difference between a flaw and an inclusion. Inclusions are like birth marks that certify that is Gem is natural and untreated.

How do I choose a diamond for astrology remedies? Is 0.40-0.50 cents enough for Astro remedy purposes? Can a diamond be worn in the left hand?

Flawless 2 carat Jyotish Diamond Ring from Gemstoneuniverse

This Question was first answered on Quora

Acceptable Colour grades for a Diamond for Astrological purposes: D, E, F, G, H

In General H colour grade is acceptable only in rare cases and in weight range of 1 carat and above

Acceptable Clarity grades for a Diamond for Astrological purpose: FL, IF, VS1, VS2, VVS1, VVS2

Even though the above two parameters will take care of majority of inclusions, the things to absolutely avoid are reddish tints, inclusions that resemble the claw of a crow, inclusions that resemble a spider’s web. These are simply unacceptable from a Jyotish Point of View.

Minimum effective Diamond weight for an Astrological effective Diamond is 23 cents or 0.23 carats.

Customized accurate carat weight can be arrived only after a thorough calculation and assessment of your birth horoscope. Read more at the link below:

How do I train myself in identifying pure gem stones?

January 8, 2018 by gemstoneuniverse

Brilliant Blue Sapphire Saturn Ring from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of Fine Jyotish Gemstones

Here are some of the fundamental steps that shall help you become a professional in Gem Identification

-Take a basic course on Geology-This will help in knowing about Crystals, Gemstones their occurrence, formation, origin identification

-Take a basic course on Gemology: The GIA course on Colored Gemstone essentials would be a great start. You shall be able to know chemistry, physical properties, crystal structure, and peculiarities about a lot of Gemstones.

You shall also learn about inclusions- Tell tale signs characteristic of Each Gemstone that shall help you in visual identification. This will also enable you to use basic Gemological instruments such as a 10x loupe, polariscope, Chelsea filter, refractometer etc.

-Read/ Subscribe to good Gemstone websites/Blogs that publish quality information periodically. The key is to contemplate on one subject at a time rather than all information together. It is important to understand the 4c’s of cut, colour, clarity and carat weight almost on a Regular basis.

I suggest you browse the Gemstoneuniverse Blog and read the Gemologist’s notes for shipped out pieces. It is a huge database built over 2 decades and you have the advantage of evaluating the 4c’s with pictures and videos.

-Read classic Books such as Ruby and Sapphire by Richard Hughes and Secrets of the Gem Trade by Richard Wise. For Emeralds try to get hold of Ron Ringsrud Book.

Most importantly work with a reputable Jeweller, Gemstone Buying/ Trading House or a reputed Gemologist who works with Gemstones on a daily basis. This will be the most invaluable part of your training as daily you will practice and handle several samples.

There is no better education and training than this and no amount of education can be a substitute of this practical training.

Every body loves Diamonds because they are bright, shiny and have heritage and history. Any piece of Jewelry that contains Diamonds makes a statement and impact due to the luster and the shine of Diamonds.

Many Patrons sometime want to surround their chosen Gemstone with Diamonds to create a classy and a custom piece but is it astrologically advisable?. Many patrons also have valid questions like will Diamond cause any conflict with Ruby etc.

Now if you are using real Diamonds in your custom Jewelry piece( ring/ Pendant) then it will definitely have impact of Venus and then in that case the Venus energy will not be compatible with the energies of Sun( Ruby), Jupiter( Yellow Sapphire), Moon( Real Pearl).

In such a case only your primary gemstone will give astrological power and impact.

Is there a point in Wearing Two Yellow Sapphires on Index Finger?

October 30, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Is there any logic to wear two Gemstones to get higher power & fast results or is it plain wrong

Eye Clean Flawless Yellow Sapphire from the Gemstoneuniverse collection

Eye Clean Flawless Yellow Sapphire of 2.44 carats from the Gemstoneuniverse collection

Jupiter or Guru is the karaka planet in welcoming luck, prosperity, happiness, loyalty, truthfulness, caring nature and all the good things in life.

When anyone has born with malefic Jupiter in his or her birth chart, he or she faces many obstacles in life.

It is not that you cannot overcome the situation. Definitely, you can get the good effects of Jupiter or Brihaspati with the help of astrological remedy. When you can boost up the power of Jupiter in your chart, you can experience certain gain of wisdom, knowledge, kindness, auspicious events and happiness in your family, love and workplace.

Jupiter also known as Devguru is the Teacher/ Preceptor of the Gods and is a kind planet. Is the planet that accepts the remedial measures fastest and gives faster relief as compared to planets like Rahu, Ketu or Saturn.

Signification of Jupiter Planet

There is no doubt that Jupiter opens the door of luck, fame, wealth, spirituality, and certain growth of spirituality in your mind and soul.

Now the question is how to boost up the waning energy of your Jupiter. There are many ways to increase the power of the waning Jupiter in your birth chart.

Yellow sapphire is the gemstone that enhances the power of Jupiter in your chart.
You can worship of lord Shiva and keep fast on every Thursday to power up your Jupiter.
You can wear pancha mukhi or five mukhi rudraksha for Jupiter.
Chant the proper bija mantra of Jupiter to activate the power of Yellow Sapphire when you have already worn it.
You can donate saffron or turmeric on Thursday.

These are the tips to increase the power of Jupiter in your birth chart. People who are unable to buy precious yellow sapphire they can try the above-mentioned methods to boost up Jupiter in their birth chart.

No Merit of Wearing Two Yellow Sapphires in Same Hand

Whatsoever, there is a certain number of people who can afford more than one Yellow Sapphire. Even a few people also think that wearing more than one yellow sapphire in the same hand will multiply the benefits of Jupiter or double its power.

In this case, it is not true. There is no merit in wearing two Yellow Sapphires and it will not provide any fast result/ greater results.

Wearing two yellow sapphires is nothing but wasting your money. Generally, a right weight of Yellow Sapphire is suggested to wear in according to age and body weight of the native besides several other parameters in the birth chart.

So, if you are thinking that you can double the result in wearing two yellow sapphires then you are simply wrong.

When to wear Two Yellow Sapphires

Though, there are some exceptional conditions when you can wear two Yellow sapphires in your same hand on index finger.

For instance, you need to wear 6 carats of Yellow sapphire on your index finger. But you are unable to get one Yellow sapphire with 6 carats weight or a pure jyotish Gem of 6 carats is beyond your budget, In such case, you can consider wearing two yellow sapphires, each of 3 carats weight in the same hand and on the same ring. Wearing two smaller Yellow Sapphires to make up the weight of 6 carats will reduce the cost by nearly 50% and will give the same result. You can see many more examples of such unique implementation of Gem Therapy with great results.

Check an example here.

But, it is not advisable to wear two Yellow sapphires, each of 6 carat weight in hopes for a faster result in your life.

Tips to Wear Yellow Sapphire

When you want to get the best result after wearing the Yellow Sapphire in your hand, you need to follow some steps. Let us know the steps that you can earn the blessing of Jupiter in your life.

Always wear Yellow Sapphire on the index finger in right hand.
Ensure that the Yellow Sapphire is free from treatment and is a true Jyotish Gemstone

Do not buy any cracked or cheap quality Yellow Sapphire.
Avoid Flaws as mentioned in the sacred texts.
You need to wear the ring of Yellow Sapphire on Thursday in the morning.
Make sure you wear the ring after purification process during Shukla Paksha or a potent time calculated by a competent Astrologer

Brilliance, Fire And Lustre- Know How These Make Your Gemstones Special!

October 9, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Brilliance, Fire And Lustre- Know How These Make Your Gemstones Special!

Lux Muzo Mine Emerald from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of fine Gemstones

What are brilliance, fire and lustre in a Gemstone and how these factors are assessed before buying a precious Gemstone? What determines price?

There is no doubt in the fact that while buying a gemstone we often look at the price. This is probably the only thing in the world, that if comes cheap, we will like to frown! Of course we will have various thoughts and doubts to fight.

Is this really a genuine one? Or is it really beautiful? Is it at all eyes pleasing? Well all in all, we are absolutely concerned about the beauty. And we know that buying a great looking gemstone can cost a fortune and we are ready to pay the same.

But then again what makes these gemstones look so great? The most basic things are no doubt the Brilliance, Lustre and finally the Fire!

Brilliance:

Well, brilliance is a completely easy concept to deal with. This refers to the amount of light that the gemstones will reflect. But then there is a catch here. It has to be from the back of the crown to the eyes.

Practically it is supposed to reflect the light from deep inside its core! This absolutely can prove one important thing. Only the most transparent gemstones will have the quality of brilliance in them as well.

There is no doubt that there are three most important factors that play a great role in the brilliance. These are namely the refractive index, the clarity levels as well as the cut of the particular gemstone for sure!

This is absolutely why the diamonds that have great refractive index is also always judged on its cut! It is absolutely necessary for you to understand that only perfectly cut diamonds are absolutely the most amazing ones.

Brilliance is directly proportional to the clarity of the Gem also. The higher the clarity, the higher the light movement and hence the higher the brilliance

Lustre:

This is again another of the most important factors of choosing a gemstone. When the light reflects from the surface of the gemstones, the surface becomes visible to the people. The type of surface that people see is due to the lustre of a particular gemstone!

There are actually various types of lustres that you must be aware of. The pearly lustre is one of the most amazing types of lustres. Of course when the surface reveals a beautiful and colourful surface then it is known as the pearly lustre.

The matter though is not quite simple! The colours should be able to play on the surface of the gemstones. These make these gemstones beautiful. The adamantine lustre is all about the mirror like feeling. For example the type of lustre that diamonds possess.

Silky lustre is though, another of the most beautiful lustres that you can watch. These provide people with a visual feel of the cloth textures! The silky velvet lustre is most often seen in Sri Lankan Blue Sapphires of high clarity.

Fire:

This is also known as dispersion. It is observed when a gemstone allows a light to pass through it and that too in different wavelengths. The inward glowing reflections most often referred to in fine Gemstones is an example of fire within the gemstone.

Diamond is one example of this phenomena.

The above three factors combine together to give what is called Life in a Gemstone

There are various other important characteristics of the gemstones. Selecting the gemstones based on these above-three factors matter a lot. These offer the people with the best results no doubt! And one will never regret buying a gemstone depending on these!

Nowadays around 90 percent of Sapphires are treated. Do treated Gemstones really work?

September 7, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Nowadays around 90 percent of Sapphires are treated. Do treated Gemstones really work?

Fine Unheated Jyotish Sapphire from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of Fine Gemstones

This Question was first answered on Quora

You use the word, “Nowadays” and “Sapphires” in your question. You may be surprised or astounded to know depending on your perspective that Gemstones including Sapphires have been treated over 1000’s of years.

Just the nature and technique of treatment changes.

More than 95% of all Gemstones are treated and treated Gemstones have no place for used as Astrological Gems for harnessing planetary powers.

Gemstones are treated to enhance their appearance and to hide flaws so that they look beautiful and attractive.

There are several treatments for Gemstone enhancement. I am mentioning some of them. It’s quite possible that some of these can be applied individually and some in combination.

I am mentioning some of the most common treatments.

Those who have further interest in knowing their details can search with treatment name on Google. There are easily searchable and tonnes of information are available on the treatment type.

Heat Treatment

Diffusion

Glass filling

Dyeing

Bleaching

Radiation

Oil Treatment

Majority of Gemstones are treated and are mostly consumed for commercial grade Jewelry.

In Garuda Purana, Sri Sut Ji Goswami says in the Chapter 72, “The Blue Sapphire subjected to heat or burning to improve color and clarity should never be used by anyone as illness and misfortune will fall on that individual who uses a heated and a burned gem.”

For Higher Goals, Life solutions and Astrology there is no space for treated gemstones as clearly stated in the reference quote above.

It is better not to wear any gemstone rather than a treated gemstone to get a placebo effect or no effect.
