Comments	It is just the fascinating color of emeralds that makes the heart stop for a moment and sets in a longing to own one. The fascinating gem has is the only one gem that as its own name as a color benchmark!

Featured today is a splendid natural treatment free Colombian emerald of 2.70 carats set in 22 karat gold as a Mercury Talisman ring. The classic emerald cut gem has a luxurious emerald green color and this very fact makes it a premium gem. It has excellent clarity as well as lustre.

Colombian emeralds generally have a grass green color that has a characteristic lightness and vitreous lustre. The value of a Colombian emerald grows exponentially if happens to have a richer color. Colombian emeralds are by far most valued emeralds in the trade.

In Vedic astrology, natural emerald or panna / zammrud gemstone is the gem of planet Mercury/ Budh and is used in a talisman to harness its saatvik powerful energies of Mercury.

Take a look at one of the rarer emerald masterpieces â€“ the “Emerald Unguentarium“. It was created by the famed gemstone cutter and carver, Dionysio Miseroni, working in Prague, in 1641, on the orders of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III.

The Emerald Unguentarium

It was carved out of a twin emerald crystal of Colombian origin. The Emerald Unguentarium of 2,680 carats is shaped like an irregular vessel, (most likely to reduce loss of precious caratage while cutting). Interestingly, there were futile attempts made to sell the treasure, but a worthy value seemed elusive. It is said that the Grand Duke of Tuscany, offered three tons of gold, in exchange for the enormous emerald and this was a couple of hundred years ago! And now it sits in the Imperial treasury (Schatzkammer) , in Vienna.

Gemstone	Natural TanzaniaRuby
Weight	1.00 carats
Treatment	None.
Origin	Mozambique
Planetary Energy	Sun
Patron Location	Pune, India
All inclusive Price	$ 1117 / INR 60315
Comments	Featured today is a fantastic natural and unheated ruby from Mozambique set in 22-karat gold as a Sun talisman. The Mozambique ruby of exactly 1 carat has a deep vibrant reddish pink color and great clarity. The manik gem is robust, treatment free and pulsating with planetary powers of the Sun/ Surya.

Scarcity of natural and unheated ruby in the market is a by-product of the seizing of mining operations in Mogok by the military junta in Burma and the ruby supply went quite dry till the Mong Hsu ruby mines were found.

However, the quality of ruby here were nowhere near the pigeon blood red rubies of Mogok. So most of this ruby was treated to improve the appearance and sale value. Most of the Burmese Mong Hsu rubies in the market should be assumed to be treated unless stated otherwise.

Later natural unheated ruby was found in Africa in significant yields in the mines of Tanzania as well as Mozambique – the Winza mine ruby of Tanzania and the Niassa ruby from Mozambique. The advantage that these two sources have is in terms of clarity and color. The counterparts from other mines in the same countries produce inferior grade marble type rubies.

A practised eye can discriminate on basis of sources, the Niassa is fairly easy to distunguish from Winza as blue color zoning Â is quite common in Winza ruby is absent here and gives a better reddish pink color. A good natural unheated ruby can beat any other gem in terms of value.

The record price paid for a ruby was $3.6 million, at Christie’s in St. Moritz in 2006 – An 8.62 carat unheated cushion cut Burmese ruby set in a Bvlgari ring. The price of $425,000 per carat set a new record, which was beaten only recently by a blue diamond ring in April 2012 at Sothebyâ€™s New York Magnificent Jewel Auction. The fancy diamond sold for $2.4 million, or $687,712 per carat. The 3.18 ct. VS1 marquise stole the thunder.

Comments	The gemstone featured today is aptly known as Ratnaraj or the King of Gemstones in the world of colored gemstones. And why not! It is the gemstone of Sun – the King of the zodiac.

Have a look at this beautiful natural unheated ruby from Tanzania. This small oval parcel of delight at 1.34 carats is a delectable pinkish Red in color and has been set in White Gold as a ladies Ruby ring. The gem has superb clarity.

There is almost no supply of good natural ruby in the gem markets. Jyotish grade ruby for harnessing Planetary gem therapy benefits needs to be flawless, unheated and untreated in any manner. However, most of the ruby available widely is glass-filled or heated to enhance color and make it more appealing visually.

Treated ruby cannot serve the purpose of a jyotish gem. Mining activity in African belt across Mozambique and Tanzania has yielded some good reserves of Ruby but the price for this Ratnaraj is always on the rise. Â A fine natural unheated ruby or manik as it is known is the gem of Sun or Surya. Resplendent and full of glory like him, this gem is used to harness its energies.
