Gemstone	Natural Colombian Emerald
Weight	1.81 carats
Treatment	None. Fully Natural
Origin	Colombia
Planetary Energy	Mercury
Patron Location	Pune, India

Comments	Gemstones are truly a miracle of nature. It is only when the love of these precious minerals goes beyond the simple desire of owning fine jewelry or gem that the real world of spectacular creation opens up.

Featured today is a natural Colombian emerald of 1.81 carats set in 22 karat gold as a Mercury talisman ring. The classic emerald cut Colombian emerald is fully natural and has a fine early summer grass green color. What really makes this gem stand apart is the fact that not only is there excellent clarity, despite being an emerald, the gem also has a vitreous lustre, giving it that charismatic appeal!

For planetary gem therapy, the gem must be jyotish quality. For a real appreciation of the jyotish gem that you are holding in your hand and especially more so if itâ€™s an emerald letâ€™s get a little more specific â€“ emerald is a gemstone of the beryl group â€“ Beryllium Aluminium Silicate Al2Be3 (SiO3)6, to be precise.

This gemstone crystal is formed either either in the pegmatite deposits or hydrothermal veins in metamorphic environments. Metamorphic rocks are those rocks, which were once igneous or sedimentary rocks but changed over period of time into a different state due to change in pressure and temperature. (The change however is to be so intense that the rock gets melted and the chemical rearrangement is affected. For instance, Marble is a metamorphic rock that you get when heat and pressure is applied to limestone over a period of thousands of years!)

For an emerald to form, the temperature has to be in the range of 400-500 degrees centigrade and the pressure has to be about 1-3 kilobars per square inch! In other words about 7.5 to 21.75 tons of pressure per square inch! The presence of trace element chromium gives it the rich green color. (in case of the Brazilian emeralds, the color causing trace element is vanadium).

Emerald rough

The mineral is formed within a fluid rich silicate melt that can remain liquid for a very long therefore the cooling time is very long â€“ almost 500 million years!

You may take your time to absorb that information. And we do hope that when you look at the emerald perched on your fingers the next time, you will think about what a treasure, whose life spans an era of geological time, you own!

Natural emerald/ panna is the gemstone of planet Mercury/ Budh and is used in a talisman to harness the energies of this planet.

Comments	Featured today is a fine natural Colombian emerald of 2.43 carats set in a 22 karat gold Mercury talisman ring. The symbol of Mercury stands in relief on the shanks of the ring. The Colombian emerald is fully natural and treatment free. The gem has a classic emerald cut and an enchanting early summer grass green color.

Emerald in the ancient Western lore and tradition (based on the Foundation stones â€“ those in the Breastplate of the High Priest of the Israelites) is the birthstone of the month of June Â (the modern day birthstone list however categorises emerald as the birthstone for month of may).

We would stick with the correctness of the former as emerald is also associated with the guardian angel Muriel who the angel of emotions ruling over the sign of Cancer. The angelsâ€™s name translates to meaning â€˜Godâ€™s Perfumeâ€™. It is Muriel who heightens intuitiveness and aids an individualâ€™s getting in touch with oneâ€™s deepest feelings and thereby acquiring a true understanding of oneself. Muriel is also the angel of plants and animal life on earth.

Angel Muriel

At the initial level, it could be more about emotional well being and garnering a sense of balance too. It is only when the communication (which is the domain of Mercury) with the universal energy and openness without fear is learnt, that living life expansively and richly becomes possible. Old, hurtful emotions are released to heal self. Newness is embraced.

Natural emerald/ panna is the gemstone of planet Mercury/ Budh and is used in a talisman to harness energies of this planet that governs intellect speech and commerce among other things. Get set on the road to your destiny.

Comments	Come springtime, the sprouting forth of new life is the most welcome sight. Tender new leaves, come out in rich colors symbolizing every bit of hope and new life. Featured today is a fantastic natural imperial golden yellow topaz of 3.63 carats set in 18-karat gold as a Jupiter talisman. The princess cut imperial golden yellow topaz from brazil is fully natural and treatment free. The yellow topaz has the characteristic sherry color and superb clarity. The Imperial topaz ring has two gold leaves starting at the shank and coming up to the gem table, signifying new life, perpetual growth and progress. Yet another example of how beautiful as well as powerful your talisman can be! In Vedic astrology, Imperial golden yellow topaz is a substitute gem for natural yellow sapphire or pukhraj and is used in a talisman to harness the energies of Jupiter / Guru/ Brihaspati. The name topaz is believed to have been derived from the Island name of Topazios. However, there is also an alternative view that suggests that the name has been derived from the Sanskrit word â€˜tapasâ€™ which means fiery heat generated by carrying out spiritual austerities and this rather resonates with the appearance of the golden topaz. The metaphysical properties of Imperial topaz are many and chief among them are encouraging creativity and confidence, spiritual progress by aligning your innermost desires with what is actually good for you, fostering peace in a stormy mind, increased personal charm, aiding metabolism. Amazingly it acts as a draw to working with other minerals too! The Imperial Topaz is the gemstone that is associated with the sacral chakra and solar plexus chakra.

All inclusive Price	$ 1761 / INR 95089
Comments	Natural gemstones have inner, unadulterated energy that makes them very potent tools for Planetary Gem Therapy. Formed naturally due to several geological changes over several hundred million years, these gems have cosmic energy accumulated over eons, residing in them. Just as much is enough to consider the epic proportions in which this energy can profoundly affect human life.http://youtu.be/sDXCcm_v6dU

Featured today is a natural chrysoberyl cat’s eye of 3.79 carats. The oval cut cabochon cat’s eye gemstone from Brazil has a nice greenish yellow color, sharp chatoyancy and translucence – the hallmarks of a good cat’s eye. The gemstone has been set in sterling silver as a cat’s eye Ketu Talisman.

Chrysoberyl Cat’s eye is a fairly hard stone that is 8.5 on the Moh’s Scale of hardness. Cat’s eye is found in the Metamorphic rocks, Pegmatites, which are very coarse-grained igneous rocks, usually granite, that form from water-rich magmas. They are important sources of gem material and crystal specimens. The San Diego Natural History Museum describes such gem formation in Pegmatites very simply and clearly – Picture granite as a mass of hot molten material (magma) below the surface of the earth, cooling slowly into solid rock. If part of the magma contains a lot of water, it will hold more dissolved minerals, and it will cool even more slowly than the surrounding granite. The effect of this very slow cooling of mineral-rich magma is the formation of pockets of large crystals within the granitic rock, commonly found with all the crystals pointing inward. These bodies of rock within a granite mass with large crystals are called pegmatites. Most of the spectacular crystal-producing areas in the world, including Minas Gerais (Brazil), Sri Lanka and San Diego County, are pegmatite areas.

chrysoberyl-mineral Image – Collecting-Rocks-and-Minerals.com

Most of the Cat’s eye gem traded however is found in the placer deposits also – gravely river basins where it finds its way because of its heaviness. The heavier minerals after getting freed from their matrix upon weathering, get concentrated at the bottom of stream, beach, and gravels. The earliest and simpler mining and finding of gems started with scouring through such deposits.

Cat’s eye also known as Vaidurya/ lehsunia/ Bidalaksh is the gem of the South Node of the Moon or Ketu. The phenomenal gemstone is a fast acting gem and is used in a talisman to harness saatvik energies of Ketu, restore semblance, focus and direction in the life of the wearer.

Patron Location	Kolkata / West Bengal
All inclusive Price	$ 1771.80 / INR 95676.15
Comments	How interesting would it get for you to be told that the first blue sapphire was perhaps worn by the immortal Titan Prometheus? Well, interesting and intriguing it is for most mythological details fall in place!

Before we explore the Prometheus connection, have a look at the amazing natural unheated Ceylon blue sapphire featured today. An oval cut gem of 3.12 carats with fascinating silky cornflower blue Â color set in sterling silver as a Saturn talisman ring. The gemstone has excellent clarity and electric lustre.

Blue sapphire or neelam gemstone is a powerful gem that hosts the transformative planetary energies of Lord Saturn/ Shanidev. While There is no doubt that blue sapphire has intense stirring energy, one must also not be too taken in by the myriad stories/ myths that have been made up about the gem. The only two factors one must keep in mind are –
A) whether the gem is natural, treatment free and also free from the doshas listed in the sacred texts to watch against in a gemstone to be deemed fit as a jyotish gem.
B) whether you have got a proper gem recommendation.

Going back to Prometheus, he is regarded to be the first one to wear a blue sapphire – Prometheus (his name literally translates to one with foresight – he was able to predict future) in Greek mythology is known as the creator of human beings/ mortals. When he saw the mortals unable to deal with vagaries of nature, he asked the gods to lend them fire; a request that was turned down immediately.

Prometheus then decided and stole fire from the gods and gave it to the mortals. Zeus, upon watching the blazing fire pits of mortals, decided to give exemplary punishment to immortal Prometheus. He had him chained to a rock and ordered a giant eagle (symbol of Zeus) to eat away at his liver. The torment would continue day after day for eons as Prometheus’ liver would regenerate each night!

Prometheus chained to a rock

Depiction of Hercules a.k.a Heracles rescuing Prometheus

A twist in the tale led to Hercules rescuing Prometheus. His chain was severed from the rock but a link remained around his finger and attached to that link was a piece of rock – the alleged first blue sapphire! Zeus agreed to pardon and release him, upon the condition that Prometheus would wear that link forever!
