Gemstone Natural Iolite

Comments All gemstones naturally have an allure and appeal. However, aside of quality of the gem, the lapidary also makes a tremendous amount of difference to the overall appeal of the gem.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZJ9WZALZAA

Lapidary is derived from the word lapis or stone and refers to the art of cutting and polishing of gemstones. The term lapidary takes in its ambit all of the many techniques used to make a raw gemstone more attractive and useful. While some gemstones like turquoise are polished, others must be cut to get the best out of them.

Featured today is a beautiful natural Madagascar Iolite of 2.06 carats set in sterling silver as a Saturn talisman ring. Please note that this is a Planetary Bhasma Iolite ring where the shami/khejri bhasma – the sacred herbal ash of the herb of planet Saturn has been sealed into the tubular channel, which stands as a design element on the sides of the gem.

The cushion cut iolite has excellent clarity and a royal bluish violet color, exceptional among iolites – for a moment it has you wondering if it is indeed a blue sapphire! The gem has a beautiful checkerboard cut. The gem is cut into a multitude of square facets spaced regularly around the stones surface, giving a ‘Checkerboard’ effect of light and dark squares when moved in the light.

Natural iolite or neeli gem, is a substitute gem for natural Blue Sapphire/ neelam gemstone and is used to harness the saatvik energies of Planet Saturn/ Shanidev in planetary gem therapy.

What Are Upratnas, Semi-Precious Gemstones, Super alternative gemstones & Do they work astrologically?

by 7 Comments

What Are Upratnas, Semi-Precious Gemstones, Super alternative gemstones & Do they work astrologically?

Guruji Shrii Arnav

Natural Peridot Ring-Courtesy Gemstoneuniverse.com Natural Peridot Ring-Courtesy Gemstoneuniverse.com

 

Semi precious stones ? Wondering what are these, A frequent question that I often see addressed to Gemstoneuniverse and also the one that has been asked to me countless times : Do Upratnas or Semi-Precious Stones Work? If they do, how effective are they? Can they be considered equally effective as the Navaratanas? Before we dwell into answers of the above questions we should be very clear about what exactly is an Upratna or Uparatana?

Definition of an Upratna?

An Upratna or Semi-Precious Stones are a superior substitute to a Navratna- one of the Nine precious Gemstones. I frankly do not like calling a Gemstones Semi- precious, though some do, purely from the point of view of convenience. However, do note that a Gem Quality and a Jyotish Quality Semi Precious Gemstone is a valuable Gemstone.

The important thing here being- Gem Quality and Jyotish Quality. Even though Indian sacred texts list the use of 84 such semi precious Gemstones, my attempt here is to share information about those substitute gemstones that deliver the best results. This is based on experience and statistical results of many years.

What are the Navratnas?

The Nine Primary planetary Gemstones prescribed in the Shastras (sacred texts) are called the Navratnas (literally translated means nine gems). These are listed below:

The Navratnas-Nine Primary Gemstones

S.no Planet Gem Name( English) Gem Name( Hindi)
1. Sun Ruby Manikya
2. Moon Pearl Moti
3. Mars Red Coral Moonga
4. Mercury Emerald Panna
5. Jupiter Yellow Sapphire Pukhraj
6. Venus Diamond Vajramani/ Heera
7. Saturn Blue Sapphire Neelam
8. Rahu Hessonite Gomed
9. Ketu Cat’s Eye Lehsunia/ vaidurya

You will find this list on more than 100,000 websites.

So what is the point of making this list yet again?

Well, it is relevant to our discussion. If you look at the list closely – Pearl, Red Coral, Hessonite and Cat’s Eye are classified in the gem trade as Semi Precious Gemstones for the sake of convenience, whereas the description of Shastras is accurate, factual – these are among the Nine Precious Gemstones representing the Nine Planets.  All these Navratanas have to be gem quality and Jyotish quality to deliver planetary results.

Please make note that in the Shastras the term Semi-Precious (or allusion to a category indicating monetary value) does NOT exist.

Listed in the sacred texts are Upratnas – Superior Substitute Gemstones to be used in lieu of the 9 primary precious Gemstones for getting planetary energies and benefits. And this is what is exactly meant by Upratnas.

In the Indian sacred texts 84 Upratanas have been mentioned. Each of them is used for achievement of an objective or a desire, for resolution for a medical condition, for wealth, for attracting the right partner and for different planets.

Here I shall mention those, which are the best Uparatnas for the nine planetary gemstones. Even though, the efficacy of Agates/ Haqiq, Malachite/ Dana Firang etc.are legendary, we shall restrict our discussion to the Uparatnas of the nine planetary gemstones.

 

Best Upratnas/ Best Substitute Gemstones for Planetary Energies

 

S.no Planet Upratna of 1st Choice Upratna of 2nd Choice
1. Sun Red Garnet Spinel
2. Moon Blue Moonstone White Moonstone
3. Mars Carnelian Red Agate
4. Mercury Peridot None
5. Jupiter Yellow Topaz* Heliodor
6. Venus White Sapphire White Zircon**
7. Saturn Iolite Amethyst
8. Rahu Lapis Lazuli None
9. Ketu Cat’s eye quartz None

*Yellow Topaz is precious and rare and in many instances gives results that are as potent as a Yellow Sapphire. It should not be confused with abundantly available and much lesser priced Citrine, which does NOT give results as a Yellow Sapphire alternative.

** Colorless Top Quality treatment-free Zircon is a potent Uparatana and gives good results. It is often mistakenly called as Jerkin, Zarcan by ill-informed individuals.

*** In the columns marked none – I have not found any gemstone that bought in superior results.

What we have here is a list of 14 gemstones out of 84 choices. These are the best alternatives and deliver results that are satisfactory. I have mentioned only those, which I have noticed delivering quantifiable results first hand. Others also do work but the effect is not quite comparable to these.

Moving on to the second part of the query – Are they effective? And can they be considered as effective as Navratnas?

Yes, upratnas are effective and they provide good results provided they are GEM quality and Jyotish Quality. If Not, Then no results.

The demand of Jewellery industry are so high that today most of the market is flooded with Semi Precious Gemstones – not necessarily Upratnas (Read what actually are Uparatnas above) that go through several treatments such as radiation, dyeing etc. to improve appearance. Treated Gemstones will give no results for Jyotish Purposes.

Jyotish Quality= Gem Quality + Free from Treatment + Free from any kind of flaws listed in the scared texts.

Where Gem Quality means that a Gem excels on the all 4C’s of Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight.

Are Uparatanas as effective as the Nine Primary Gemstones?

Well, there is no unit of measure or yardstick where the results between delivered by them can be compared. Here’s an example to help you understand better –  if we were to travel from point A to point B, we could do that by an aeroplane or on a motorcycle.

You can compare the results of Jyotish Quality Navratnas as that of an aeroplane and that of Jyotish quality Upratnas as that of a motorcycle. The important part is that they get the job done that is to traverse the distance and reach point B.

Upratnas create miracles and are a fantastic starting point for Gem Therapy. Some of them such as Peridot and Yellow Topaz have many extra benefits in addition to the planetary benefits.

Mull on this – Gem quality Green Jade( Jadeite), mentioned as one of the Upratnas among the 84 that find mention in the sacred texts is known as Sang-E-Yashab ( Classified as Semi Precious in some trade circles) and is excellent for heart health, is sometimes more expensive per carat than a Ruby, Sapphire or an Emerald. In case you happen to try an upratna and it spins some magic for you, You would be inseparable from your talisman, rendering your upratna invaluable. Therefore, there are no precious and semiprecious gems – just gemstones!

A small prayer for you, which you should also recite for yourself, your loved ones and the whole universe

Sarve bhavantu sukhinah= may all be happy
Sarve santu niramayah= may all be free from disease
Sarve bhadrani pashyantu = may all see good and auspicious in everything.
Ma kaschit duhkha bhaag bhaveet– may none be unhappy or in distress
Om shantih, shantih, shantih-Om peace, peace, peace!

With Blessings, Love and Peace

New Lot of Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye from Srilanka – Zephyr 2012

by Leave a Comment

New Lot of Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye from Srilanka – Zephyr 2012

Zephyr 2012 - - new lot of Srilankan cat's eye gem

Zephyr 2012 – – new lot of Srilankan cat’s eye gem

In deference to the mystical planet Ketu or the South Node of the Moon, the new lot of natural, treatment free Chrysoberyl cat’s eye gem from Srilanka has been named Zephyr 2012. Zephyr, like this ethereal mystical planet itself.

Cat’s eye is also known as Lehsuniya/ Vaidurya/ bidalaksh or Sutra mani and set in a talisman is used to harness the energies of Ketu. Superior cat’s eye gem is a phenomenal gem that is translucent and displays chatoyancy – where a band of light is visible across the surface of the gem when light falls on it. This straight band of light gives it an appearance similar to that of a feline’s eye.

All the planetary gems at Gemstoneuniverse are assessed for doshas mentioned in the sacred texts. They are approved and made available only when they pass muster.

One thing that almost always raises a question from the patrons is about the rough underside of the cat’s eye gem. Being a cabochon (highly polished, domed upper surface) gem and then alongside being a phenomenal gem(displaying the phenomenon of chatoyancy), there is a danger of this gem losing its special chatoyant effect in the process of being cut, formed or finished to complete aesthetic proportions. Therefore, in most cases you will find that the underside of the cat’s eye is left rather crude or unfinished.

So when you see a cat’s eye with rough surface on the underside, drop your doubts and go ahead with complete confidence, so long as you are provided the gem certification for authenticity.

All chrysoberyl cat’s eye gems in the new lot Zephyr 2012 –

-Are natural and treatment free

-Free of doshas mentioned in the sacred texts

–  Have a light pleasing color – golden yellow to green gold shades

– Are translucent

– Have spectacular chatoyancy

–  Have abundant planetary energies of Ketu pulsating in them

–  Come with certification

Note: The appraisal and certification of this lot is complete and the gems should be available online shortly.

Salman Khan and the Power of Blue – The Indispensable Turquoise Gemstone Charm Bracelet

Salman Khan and the Power of Blue – The Indispensable Turquoise Gemstone Charm Bracelet

Salman Khan and his Famed Turquoise Bracelet in Ek Tha Tiger

Salman Khan and his Famed Turquoise Bracelet in Ek Tha Tiger

He’s the lone ranger of Bollywood – the star whose life has been most unpredictable and speculated about. But he’s also the guy who rides smoothly with easy charm, bad boy magnetism and unbeatable machismo, into the hearts of millions. And what with numerous commercially successful films in his wake, Salman Khan is truly a superstar!

What really catches attention about Salman Khan though is his Turquoise Gemstone bracelet that has been his lucky charm for nearly the last two decades. It’s a large sky blue turquoise gemstone that sits in a platinum chain around his wrist. As the story goes, his father the eminent scriptwriter, Salim Khan gifted him the bracelet long ago and he’s always worn it ever since.

He will soon be seen in the new movie under the Yashraj Films (YRF) banner – Ek Tha Tiger with Katrina Kaif, slated for release on the day of Eid 2012. He can be seen sporting the turquoise bracelet in the film too.

Turquoise or Pheroza/ feroza gemstone is found widely in Tibet, Iran, Mexico and China. The color ranges from green to various shades of blue. Turquoise is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum. It is usually fashioned as a cabochon, for it is an opaque gem.

Turquoise gemstone is a gem that enhances the physical health and protects the wearer from evil. This gem is believed to change color, warning the wearer of impending danger. Metaphysical properties of Turquoise are many and among them what really stands out is that it helps one drop the negative energy and burdens of the past that obstruct personal progress. It helps an individual tap into one’s own intuition and set forward in pursuit of one’s destiny.

Turquoise gemstone is a gem that was propably the earliest ones to be discovered. The Egyptians used the gem widely as well as the Aztecs, Pueblo Indians (who called it the sky stone) and also the people of Tibet. It was believed that the stone could invariably protect the wearer from accidents in journeys and battles, especially from falling off the horse.

Turquoise gemstone as a healing gem has tremendous potential. In Vedic astrology, turquoise has the combined powers of Mercury as well as Ketu. The mystical element of Ketu brings in the sharpening of intuition and strengthening of the spiritual quotient of the individual. Turquoise helps an individual shun the trivial and move towards the essence of life. It is known as a “life stone” in the oriental tradition and was kept on person life long, for connectedness with divinity and a firm rooting in reality.

Salman Khan’s affinity for his bracelet has spawned a whole segment among his fans, who have got something in the likeness of his charm bracelet. The negative aspect of this trend is that plastic fashioned as turquoise, referred to as Taiwanese Turquoise, is being peddled widely and falsely as a genuine stone. The authentic turquoise has a smooth waxy top and a cabochon will always have a rough resinous bottom.

Gemstone Energy and Star Power – Looking at Emraan Hashmi’s Gems

Emraan Hashmi and his Planetary Gemstone rings

Emraan Hashmi and his Planetary Gemstone rings

Mere mortals turn to the stars for a touch of magic. The stars as they would, sprinkle a bit of their magical stardust and lo behold! A fantastic stellar script unfolds and the mere mortal begins to essay the life of a real star.

Over a period of time, whether they concede or not, film stars have gained mileage from planetary gem therapy in their lives. From Amitabh Bachchan’s blue sapphire, to Kareena Kapoor’s Yellow sapphire, Bollywood loves its bling – covertly and overtly!

Here’s a looking at the quintessential loveable rogue – Emraan Hashmi, who’s proven to be a fairly bankable fellow. Look closely and you will see Emraan sporting a Yellow sapphire, a red coral, and of late a ruby and an opal as well – all in his right hand. The yellow sapphire and red coral indicate solid run of Jupiter and Mars for him, and he seems to be doing the best by harnessing the power of the planets.

When you know what the gems can do for you – it just puts all the other concerns on the backburner. Well of course, he’s given hits including Murder 2 in the recent past, now jannat 2 and looks very promising in the upcoming movie Shanghai where Abhay Deol is his co-star. There’s been no looking back for this steady performer ever since he began his stint with Mahesh Bhatt’s film Murder.

Gemstones hold tremendously transformative energies. Whether it is maximizing gains in a good period, or cutting your losses in a bad one, or simply buying them as for good investment, gemstones always present a win-win situation, provided one works upon a proper gem recommendation.

Comments “Blue color is everlastingly appointed by the deity to be a source of delight.” —   John Ruskin

Some where deep down in our hearts we have a speculation that Ruskin’s words were inspired by the Sapphire – royal, majestic and so powerful!

Featured today is a natural Ceylon Blue Sapphire of carats, set in 22 karat gold as a Saturn Talisman ring. This Oval shaped Blue sapphire from Sri Lanka with a fantastic jyotish weight of 4.49 carats is fully natural and treatment free. The gem with excellent clarity possesses the coveted Silky cornflower blue color – a rich, delightful color that inspires much more than just poetry.

Natural Blue sapphire of neelam gemstone is the gemstone of planet Saturn/ Shanidev and is used to harness his saatvik, transformative energies.

And when there is a blue sapphire in question, there are hundreds of myths and legends surrounding the gem! It would be worthwhile to point that the great story of Dushyanta and Shakuntala has a Blue Sapphire playing the pivotal role in it.

After King Dushyanta has secretly married Shakuntala he started on his way back to his kingdom but before leaving he gave her a blue sapphire ring and promised that he would come back to get her.

Raja Ravi Verma’s Painting – Shakuntala turning to take a glimpse of King Dushyant

Shakuntala, lovelorn waited endlessly for the king to return and on one such day as she sat reminiscing about the time spent with the King, she forgot to pay respects to Durvasa rishi, who temper was known far and wide. He cursed her that the person whose thoughts she was engrossed in would forget her.

When the sage got to know her story, his rage subsided and he said that the king would remember Shakuntala if she showed him a token/ gift of remembrance.

Shakuntala thought of the ring and set about to meet the king. However, as fate would have it, while in a boat she ran her hands through the sparkling waters and the ring slipped from her fingers to be swallowed by a fish.

Without the ring, she met a very indifferent king who failed to recognise her. Dejected she returned to the forests, where the legendary King Bharat was born to her.

Later after a couple of years had gone by a fisherman turned up at the palace with a brilliant blue sapphire ring that he had found in the stomach of a fish he had caught. King Dushyanta was immediately reminded of Shakuntala and finally went on to find his forgotten wife and son and bring them back to his kingdom.

Featured today is a fully natural and unheated Ceylon blue sapphire of  2.02 carats set in sterling silver as a ladies blue sapphire ring. The cushion cut gem has an appealing royal blue color and has amazing clarity and lustre.

Blue sapphire is corundum colored blue, by traces of titanium. Corundum is a word derived from the Sanskrit word kurundum or korund.

Another legend is that corundum got its name very early on from Karund which was the ancient name of Kalahandi district in Orissa. The ancient Naga rulers of this place were known as Karundhadhipati. This is one place that has been famous for gemstone deposits.

In fact, quite interestingly the deity of this place is Manikya Devi or Manikeswari, literally meaning goddess of rubies or corundum. (Rubies are corundum colored red, by the presence of traces of chromium).

Manikeswari Temple Image Wikipedia 

Blue sapphire is also known as neelam in Hindi and Vedic astrology describes it as the gemstone for Lord Saturn/ Shanidev. It is a very potent gemstone, shows fast results and carries the powerful, transformative energies of Saturn.

Comments The color of endless possibility, of fertility, of soothing calmness that is what stands out in today’s piece.

Featured today is a beautiful natural Colombian emerald of 2.18 carats set in 22-karat gold as a men’s emerald ring. This classic emerald cut, Colombian emerald with a rich grass green color is completely natural, untreated and unenhanced in any manner and has great clarity and fine lustre.

Colombian emeralds were first brought on to the world scene by Spanish conquistadors who, upon invading South America saw the natives wearing gems that surpassed beauty of the existing emeralds known. Subsequently, in the 1550s the mines of Muzo, Chivor and Coscuez were discovered. Much of the mineral wealth was drained away initially but the mines continue to yield, although in much less quantity.

In Vedic astrology, natural emerald or panna stone is the gemstone of Mercury also known as Budh and is used to harness the energies of this Mercurial planet, which governs speech, communication, commerce, trade and all professions that relate to information exchange.

Comments Truly good things come in small packages. Just like the gemstone featured today.

Take a look at this fully natural and unheated Ceylon yellow sapphire. The yellow sapphire is a dainty nugget at 2.07 carats and has been set in 22-karat gold as a ladies yellow sapphire ring in a bezel setting. It is a mixed cut oval gem with a rich butter yellow color, great clarity and electric lustre, which is quite the hallmark of Ceylon yellow sapphires.

The top view of the gem can never be enough to assess it for a gem with a small table may have a belly cut, where most of its carat weight is concentrated. In such a case the depth of the gem is larger than usual. In the case of this gem, the depth of this yellow sapphire is almost 4 mm.

Yellow sapphire or Pukhraj is the gem of planet Jupiter also known as Brihaspati or Guru in Vedic Astrology and a clean, natural, unheated yellow sapphire can be used to harness the energies of this benevolent planet in a powerful manner.

Comments Planetary Gemstone Therapy has its benefits for one and all. If the gem therapy implementation is done correctly, following all the recommendations to the T, one can expect to gain the best results.

Featured today is a natural, unheated Ceylon Yellow Sapphire of 1.55 carats. It is a golden butter yellow color gem that has been set uniquely with the seat of the gem made in 22 karat gold and the shanks of the ring in Sterling silver as a Men’s Yellow Sapphire ring.

Natural Yellow sapphire is one of the most available fancy colored sapphires. The problem though arises in finding a flawless yellow sapphire with good color. Since the yellow sapphires have a light color and good transparency, flaws are easily detectable. Light colored yellow sapphires are available fairly in large number but the ones with rich canary yellow color also know as the lemon yellow sapphires in the West, are a rarity.

It is due to this demand for the rich lemony color vis-à-vis its rarity (and therefore the handsome premium it commands) that the market for heat treated sapphires has spawned. Gems with artificially enhanced color are available at a fraction of the cost of a natural unheated gem with rich color. Such gemstones have no use for purpose of Planetary Gem therapy.

Natural yellow Sapphire also known as Pukhraj/ Pushyaraag in Hindi is the gemstone of Planet Jupiter/ Brihaspati / Guru in Vedic Astrology and is used to harness its energies.
