Comments	When one talks of Coral talisman for Mars, it is the ruddiest of reds that come to the mind. This Coral used for making jewellery or talismans â€“ the â€˜corallium rubrum’ (the red coral from Sardinia, Italy/ Italian red coral) and ‘corallium japonicumâ€™ (Red Coral from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan/ Japanese Red Coral) is very different from the protected species.

Corallium-rubrum/ Italian Red Coral corallium japonicum (Japanese Red Coral)Several million zooxanthellae live in just one square inch of coral. Coral polyps and their skeletons are actually clear or white and it is pigment in the zooxanthellae that gives coral more than 90% of its colorful hues.

Unprocessed Coral is matt and is polished to a smooth shiny finished surface. According to Vedic Astrology, Red Coral or Moonga is the gemstone of the planet Mars also known as Mangal, Kuja or Angaraka in the Hindu Mythology.

Comments	It is a pleasing green – this emerald. A green lovely and soothing – a shot of exuberant, flourishing life in the vast dreariness of monotony and mundaneness. Featured today is a lovely natural Zambian emerald of 2.69 carats, characterized by the deep natural green color set in 22 karat gold as a men’s emerald ring. The oval gem has a fair weight and vivid color. Zambian emeralds are marked by their deep green color as the crystal of this emerald is green through and through, unlike the Colombian emerald with its bluish green sparkly appeal. Zambian emeralds have their own fan following. Zambian emeralds are known to be relatively less porous and slightly harder than other varieties of emeralds so the scope of unethical practices of gem treatment like fracture filling gets greatly reduced. Emerald, also known as panna is the gemstone of Mercury or Budha in Vedic Astrology and a natural emerald is used to harness the energies of this planet. Mercury is also known as Hermes in Roman Mythology, where he is the sharp but the naughty one – restless in manner! No wonder people dominated by the influence of this planet display similar traits.

Comments	The rarest of rare gems. Organic, natural and pure Basra Pearl â€“ once the toast of royal circles, now has become a real rarity.

Featured today is a fully, natural, certified, organic Basra Pearl of 2.59 carats from the Persian Gulf set in Sterling silver as a ladies natural pearl ring. This Basra pearl is a real beauty in button shape with a faint light cream tone.

The gemstone comes with a radiography report and a certificate from a state of the art gem testing lab in Bahrain â€“ the only nation where trading of cultured pearls is illegal!

Basra pearls are legendary for their value, effect as well as power. Natural Pearl is the gemstone of planet Moon/ Chandra and is used to harness its calm and gentle energies. Basra pearl/ Basra moti has been used for ages to harness saatvik moon energies.

Basra pearls became a rarity due to two reasons â€“ the artificially cultured pearls flooded the markets at a much lesser rate than the actual Basra pearl cost and secondly as the oil boom in the Middle East shifted the focus away from the pearls.

Giant Dubai Natural Pearl

Take a look at this Giant Dubai Natural Pearl (well, of course from the Persian Gulf) which went under the hammer at Christie’s in Dubai in April 2011 and fetched $ 2,54,500! Â It is one of the worldâ€™s largest natural pearls at 59. 92 carats, is drop-shaped and mounted as a pendant on a diamond -studded chain necklace.

Bringing Hope and Dignity â€“ Concrete Steps Towards a Genuine Cause

February 7, 2012 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Bringing Hope and Dignity Concrete Steps Towards a Genuine Cause

It was an effort that began about 6 months ago a truly worthy cause. The Jewellers Association, Bengaluru (JAB) started an initiative to provide housing for senior citizens with mental disabilities, who are often abandoned and go through terrible times for the wont of care or attention in their sunset years.

Sai Sunshine, aptly named, was inaugurated on January 29^th, 2012 amid beaming faces and eyes lit with hope. Astro Journey and Gemstoneuniverse are happy to be associated with such a cause.

JAB already runs an initiative called Sai Vrindavan, which is also a home for the elderly and differently-abled.

Here are some snapshots from the event.
