Is Your Gemstone Natural Jyotish Quality or A Cooked Gem Fresh from the Furnace?

Treatment	None. Fully Natural
Origin	Sri Lanka/Ceylon
Planetary Energy	Jupiter
Patron Location	New South Wales / Australia
All inclusive Price	$ 1924.18 / INR 101982
Comments	It is indeed amazing to see how natural consecrated and energised talismans are able to bring about a change in life undoing the old conditioning and energy patterns, that are often the stumbling blocks. It may take a while before the inner resistance can be broken down, for familiar thoughts, situations and even energy patterns (even though detrimental or serving no purpose) appear to be comforting.http://youtu.be/T1d5PZqaZH0

Featured today is a premium natural and treatment free Ceylon Yellow sapphire of exact 2.00 carats set in 22 Karat gold as a Jupiter Talisman ring. The cushion cut natural Yellow sapphire from Srilanka has the finest golden yellow color and superb clarity. The faceting and polishing of the gemstone is also remarkable.

Natural Yellow sapphire or pukhraj is the gemstone of Planet Jupiter / Brihaspati Brahamanspati / Guru. It is a jyotish ratna or gemstone suitable for individuals with dhanu lagna and meen lagna. In other words, individuals with Sagittarius ascendant as well as Pisces ascendant can wear a yellow sapphire.

A good natural, treatment free jyotish quality yellow sapphire commands a premium price. And where there is a market, the presence of unscrupulous elements is a foregone conclusion. There is no dearth of heated yellow sapphire and of its poorer cousins doing rounds in the markets.

Furnace popular for heating corundum in Sri lanka

Yellow sapphire of poor quality with cloudy and pale / almost colorless appearance is subjected to high temperature to enhance color as well as clarity. It is practically cooked in a furnace at a temperatures between 1000-1400 degrees centigrade! And with the advent of Beryllium treatment it has become easy to impart a rich color of choice (you could jolly well choose to have a rich lemon yellow or even make a padparadscha out of a gem ore)!

Please insist on certification before buying a natural gemstone. A natural gemstone with rich color, if available at a price too good to be true surely spells an undisclosed treatment or even genuineness.

Red coral is an organic gemstone, which is actually the skeletal structure created by the secretion of calcium carbonate by the Coral polyps. Precious coral is increasingly hard to procure as indiscriminate harvesting of coral has endangered the existence of these reef builders. To appreciate how valuable a coral is and how difficult replenishing by nature is, it is vital to know that corals require a very specific habitat to thrive. Any distortion in the required conditions or imbalance in the typical ecosystem threatens their existence. Even in the optimum conditions, the coral grows quarter of an inch annually!

Comments	The fire and intensity of the Sun is matchless. One has to just stand in the open under the hot Sun to experience its energy. When an individual desires to implement planetary gem therapy with regard to gaining benefits from a strong or a yogkaraka Surya, what matters is that you get a jyotish quality gem. Since a natural untreated Ruby has intense energies like its planetary deity, the carat weight acquires a lesser significance in comparison to its purity or treatment free status. And then it remains to be seen, whether you can still withstand the intense power of the Sun. Featured today is a fine premium natural and treatment free Mozambique ruby of 0.83 carats. This African ruby has been set in 22-karat gold as a Sun talisman. The oval shaped gem has deep vibrant reddish pink color and has fine lustre. The clarity of the ruby is superb. Natural ruby or manik gemstone is the gem of Sun / Surya and is used to harness the energy of the king of the zodiac in planetary gem therapy. Ruby is a gemstone suitable for Leo ascendant / simha lagna individuals. Leo/Simha is a sign ruled by Sun. Exotic and richly hued, the African ruby that from the mines of Mozambique and Tanzania, comes as a wonderful option in times when Burmese ruby has almost vanished from the markets and whatever remains is marked at prohibitive prices. Even though the price of natural ruby commands a premium, African ruby still makes it a viable option. A buyer must equip himself/ herself with good knowledge before buying colored gemstones for there is intense price variation with quality. And of course when top jyotish quality as well as mine scrap do rounds in the same markets, it pays to be aware! Enjoy it in Video:

Red coral has been a very popular gem from the earliest days of man, from the Romans using tiny branches of corals as protective amulets, strung into a thread and hung around children’s neck, to the ecclesia where “pater de sang” or the rosaries of coral were very popular.
