The 4C’s of Colored Gemstones & their application in choice of a perfect planetary Gem

Natural Blue Sapphire of 4.02 carats

Even though there are many parameters that need to be factored in before one can choose one’s special gemstone the foundation rests on the classical 4C’s.

What are the 4C’s of colored Gemstones?

The 4C method was formally developed by the GIA-Gemological Institute of America. These 4C’s are

Cut

Color

Clarity

Carat Weight

Cut

The overall Shape or design of a gemstone is referred to as the cut. The cut of a colored gemstone also has significant bearing on the price per carat. Some gemstones are traditionally cut in particular shapes. Like the Emerald has always commanded more price when cut in the Emerald cut, and Sapphires are considered more desirable in the oval cuts.

Classical Gem Cuts ChartWhat ever may be the cut, it has to be made sure that the maximum play and penetration of light takes place so as to bring out the brilliance and scintillation of the color of the gemstone.

The more masterfully crafted the gemstone the better the polish and blemish free surface the costlier the gemstone.

Exotic and unusual shapes, like round, Pear etc are priced at a premium as shaping the gems into these shapes leads to more wastage of the raw material/gem roughs.

A good cut adds beauty to a Gemstone and ensure that each facet reflects light in an alluring manner.

Color.

In the world of colored Gemstone everything is color. The more alluring the color, more is the beauty of the gemstone. The world color in the world of Gemstones is not so simple. Color is everything in a colored Gemstone. Gemstone color is made up of Hue Tone and Saturation.

The purest color begets premium price. By purest we mean that minimal to no hues of other colors are present in it, have high levels of saturation and also have the best tones. Also one must keep in mind that color may vary from region to region.

Color itself is made of hue, tone and Saturation.

Hue: Impression of color immediately such as red, blue or Violet is known as Hue.

Colored Gemstones Hue ChartTone: The degree of lightness or darkness of an object is referred to as the tone

Colored Gemstones Tone ChartSaturation: Degree of purity of the hue is the Saturation.

When you are evaluating color you should also try to assess how would a Gemstone look after being set in a finished piece of Jewellery?

The Same gemstone would look remarkably different in 18K Yellow Gold, 18K White Gold, 18K Rose Gold or on use of extra design elements or use of accent gemstones etc.

The Gemologist’s expertise should be leveraged to get a good color and the Gemologist’s experience will ensure maximum value for the client.

Just focus on one color to keep this simple. Are all blues same. No they are not. Notice the sheer range of Blue

Clarity

The relative freedom from inclusions is known as clarity characteristics. Lesser the clarity characteristics better the Gemstone. Although inclusions that do not hinder the beauty or color of the gemstones are generally acceptable!

And also fine inclusions are proof that the gem is natural and untreated. However there are some gemstones in which fine characteristic inclusions are accepted, like Emeralds and to some extent Rubies. Gemmologists refer to these fine inclusions in Emeralds as Jardins.

Carat Weight

Colored Gemstones are measured in carats. 1 carat is equivalent to approximately 0.2 grams. Carat weight is sometimes also expressed in cents or points. 100 points/ 100 cents are equivalent to 1 carat. Hence 57 points means .57 carats.

Provided the Gemstone excels on the above 3 C’s the higher the carat weight the rarer the Gemstone but please don’t be confuse a gemstone and a stone. A brick is not equivalent to a diamond. More details here.

How to Harness the power of Venus and Saturn together-Exceptional Blue Sapphire Diamond ring

January 11, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

How to Harness the power of Venus and Saturn together-Exceptional Blue Sapphire Diamond ring

The legendary Elizabeth Taylor aptly put it in words when she spoke about radiance

The Saturn Venus combine or association is a formidable and a powerful combination especially in the ascendants ruled by Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Such a combination is capable of giving exceptional gains to the individual if harnessed properly. Saturn Venus and Mercury form a group of intimate friends in the Zodiac.

Vedic Astrology and Planetary Gemology are very vast subjects and accurate analysis and prescriptions can yield powerful results and can help one overcome limiting conditions.

Saturn Venus combinations become very relevant especially in the ascendants ruled by Venus- Taurus and Libra and the ascendants ruled by Saturn- Capricorn and Aquarius. In the classic treatise-Brihat Parasher hora shastra,Maharishi Parasher lists Saturn and Venus as the most power Yogakaraka (Planet capable of giving superlative gains) in these ascendants.

Blue Sapphire Diamond Ring from the Gemstoneuniverse signature collection

Letâ€™s analyse in brief why these planets become special in these ascendants.

Taurus Ascendant: Ruled By Venus. In this ascendant Saturn becomes the most significant planet by virtue of owning a trine and a quadrant. Saturn in this ascendant becomes the lord of the 9^th trine house of fame and fortune, divine grace, luck, long distance travel and the 10^th quadrant house of career, profession, credit for good work and awards etc. Itâ€™s Gem should always be considered first in this ascendant.

Libra Ascendant:Â Ruled By Venus. Again in this ascendant Saturn becomes the most significant planet by becoming the lord of the 4^th quadrant house of assets, pleasures, land, vehicles etc and the 5^th house of higher knowledge, exceptional financial gains, higher qualifications etc.

Capricorn ascendant: Ruled by Saturn. Venus becomes the most powerful planet in this ascendant by owing the 5^th trine house of higher knowledge, exceptional financial gains, higher qualifications etc and the 10^th quadrant house of career, profession, credit for good work and awards etc. Itâ€™s Gem should always be considered first in this ascendant.

Aquarius Ascendant: Ruled By Saturn. Venus again becomes powerful and a game changing planet in this ascendant. It becomes the lord of the 9^th house of spirituality, fame and fortune, divine grace, luck, long distance travel and the 4^th quadrant house of assets, pleasures, land, vehicles etc.

In Case Saturn and Venus are posited in auspicious houses, in each otherâ€™s signs, are in conjunction or aspect each other then it becomes a combination that bestows exceptional success and gains to the individual. In such a case both Blue Sapphire and Diamond can be worn to enhance the results.

Use of Emerald in Mercury’s 8th house position in Gemini & Virgo Ascendant as per Vedic Astrology

January 7, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Use of Emerald in Mercury’s 8^th house position in Gemini & Virgo Ascendant as per Vedic Astrology

Mercury in the 8th house is capable of giving Spiritual Knowledge

Can people with 8^th house Mercury wear an Emerald?

Natural Colombian Emerald of 4.60 carats Gemstoneuniverse

The 8^th house in Vedic Astrology is generally considered an inauspicious house that delivers adverse results. Among many other things connected with the 8^th house are losses, accidents, end of longevity, obstacles but also are capacity of investigation into secret knowledge, acquisition of occult powers, capacity to follow a tough and an a consuming spiritual regimen, development of 6^th sense, treasures from underneath the earth.

The single planet capable of giving good results in the 8^th house contrary to what is written; copied and pasted numerous times is Mercury- The planet of business, finance, intelligence and communication. We have statistically observed over the course of many years and analysis of several charts that if Mercury is posited in a good sign or is with a significant planet it gives very good results.

Mercury makes the individual a sharp witted individual and an investigator. If Mercury receives the aspect of the 5^th lord or aspects from Venus or Jupiter, Mercury blesses the individual with occult knowledge, can make one an expert numerologist, astrologer etc. It also blesses the individual with a keen sense of observation and blesses the individual with proficiency in Mantra, Tantra and other occult streams.

Mercury in 8^th position also gives success in forging business partnerships.

Use of Emerald in Mercury’s 8^th house position in Gemini Ascendant:

Mercury is a Key and Significant planet for the Gemini Ascendant as it becomes the ascendant lord which controls all health matters and personality and the 4^th house of real estate, pleasures, mother and comforts in life. Being the lord of two quadrants it has directional weakness and hence needs to be given strength. If it is posited in the 8^th house it shall be posited in the sign of Capricorn which is ruled by its intimate friend Saturn. As stated earlier Mercury shall give good results one can wear an Emerald throughout life.

Use of Emerald in Mercury’s 8^th house position in Virgo Ascendant:

In Virgo ascendant again Mercury is a Key planet as it owns the ascendant and hence health matters and personality and the 10^th house of career and profession. Both these quadrant houses give it directional weakness and because it is a key planet it needs to be given strength. If it is posited in the 8^th house it shall be in the house of its enemy Mars but still mercury shall still over ride Mars and should specially be considered for giving strength by wearing an Emerald if Mercury major period or Mercury sub period is in operation.

Comments	Manâ€™s eternal quest to improve his life leads him to explore several options. Life is about choosing the right options. The only difference between a lucky man and an unlucky one is that the lucky man finds himself in the right place at the right time (read opportunities) and makes the right choices.Â The only factor common among them is hard work – Karma.One of the ways man has explored, to tap the potential of the divine is by using Gemstones. These miracles of nature formed over thousands of years have been one of manâ€™s best friends, philosophers and guides.

The Indian system of Gem recommendation by Jyotish – the science of light has provided miraculous results to people since times immemorial. A Gem recommended on the principles of Vedic Astrology after an in-depth study of the horoscopes and the objectives of the individual is called a Jyotish Gem.

Is that it-No!

Recommendation of a Jyotish Gem is just one part. Selection of a Jyotish Gem is another part. When both recommendation and selection are perfect you get the promised power of a Gemstone.

Before one tries to explore the meaning of a Jyotish Gemstone one should know what is a Gemstone.

What is a Gemstone?

A Gemstone is a fine precious or semi precious mineral that is fit to be used for adornment or for jewellery.Â To be regarded as a Gemstone a mineral must be beautiful, rare, and durable.

So what do we get out of this definition?

A Gemstone is fine

A Gemstone is beautiful.

A Gemstone is rare.

A Gemstone is durable.

See the pictures below:

Poor Quality Mineral Sold as Yellow Sapphire in the market for Astrological Purpose. It Fails all Parameters of being a Gemstone let alone being a Jyotish Gemstone

This mineral sample sold as Yellow Sapphire fails on every single parameter of being called as a Gemstone:

-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ItÂ is Not beautiful.

It is not rare- This was white in color before being heated and diffused to give it Yellow color. Natural Yellow Sapphires are rare.

Natural Yellow Sapphire of 3.48 carats from the Gemstoneuniverse collection set in 16 Petal Lotus Ring- A True Gemstone

This mineral is a true Gemstone. It qualifies on the definition of a Gemstone.

It is beautiful

It is Rare- Because itâ€™s natural and unheated.

It is Durable.

So Before one selects a Jyotish Gemstone one should first find out a Gemstone.

Why are Jyotish Gems Rare?

A detailed article on what are Jyotish Gemstones can be found here.

“Inward glowing lustre, transparency, illumination with rays, sparkle, free from impurities and good formation of the shape are the characteristics of good gems” -(Agni Purana, 246.13-14).

A Jyotish Gem is rare because for every Gemstone the sacred texts specify that besides being a Gemstone, a Jyotish Gem should be treatment free and be free from certain flaws/ doshas to give desired results. Every single gem has a list of flaws that should be absolutely avoided. This knowledge is not common in the market place. One has to be an expert to select a Jyotish Gemstone.

â€œIf anyone wears a gem of many flaws even out of ignorance, then grief, anxiety, sickness, death, loss of wealth and other evils will torment himâ€ – (Garuda Purana, 70.19).

Only a true Jyotish Gem can harness the energies of the concerned planet and that translates in being in the right place at the right time.

Featured today is a True Jyotish Gem. When we listed this divine gem on Gemstoneuniverse website we described it thus,

Through the looking glass, you look at your future, garbed in the hues of fortunate gold and sparkly brilliance. No. no. That’s not daydreaming. This is precisely what this 4.90 carat beauty could have you peeking into. Behold the oval cut, rich butter yellow sapphire from the Ratnapura mines of Sri Lanka from the lot Amun 2012. It is a completely natural, untreated, unheated Yellow sapphire, which is eye clean and super lustrous. Resonating with abundant energies of Jupiter, it will definitely make a fine and powerful talisman. The solid weight of 4.90 carats will ensure that.

Play the video and see what makes a Jyotish Gem so special, so rare! When a Gem such as this gets set in a ring in an auspicious times and get consecrated and energized with full Vedic Rituals it is an instrument of positive change and blesses its owner with material and spiritual gains.

The Blossoming of the Infinite Intelligence-The Sacred 16 Petal Lakshmi Ring-Flawless Yellow Sapphire!

Natural Yellow Sapphire of 3.48 carats set in 16 Petal Lotus Ring

Planetary Gem therapy is magical and a Jyotish Gemstone has supreme power. In this magical realm we at Gemstoneuniverse feel extremely liberated when we get the opportunity to create a miracle.

The Yellow Sapphire ring is one such miracle. Commissioned specifically on the request of the client this ring has several features and benefits that make it not only magical and powerful but also a very exquisite piece of fine jewellery.

We all are aware of the Sri Yantra– All called as the Yantraraj (King of all sacred Yantras). It is the symbol of peace, prosperity, supreme bliss and empowers the individual to enjoy and truly experience what this life has to offer.

Shri Yantra-The most powerful of all YantrasOut of the total 9 chakras of the Sri Yantra two are most important.Â These two are:

1) Bindu– The centre point in the central triangle is called as the Bindu or SARVA ANANDAMAYI CHAKRA. Sarva Anandamayi means always in a state of bliss and capable of creating the supreme bliss. This chakra is beyond time and space and is the cause of this Universe.

2) Shodashdal: The sixteen petal lotus ring (above highlighted in red), is the Sarva Asha Puraka Chakra– The chakra capable of fulfilling all desires and wishes- material or spiritual.

Both these divine wonders come together in this yellow sapphire ring. The 16 petals have been handcrafted with love and respect representing the Sarva Asha Puraka Chakra which in turn gets connects to the 1000 petal lotus in the Sahasrara Chakra the seat of supreme knowledge and self realization.

Sahasrara Chakra The seat of Self RealizationThe Bindu is represented by a Flawless unheated Yellow Sapphire the gem of the Divine Brihaspati who is the cause of all auspicious knowledge. It is a Sapphire befitting this divine design ( Read Gem Notes in the table below).

The Nature of the Mandala is the Sun of fire that is represented by the 18K Yellow Gold ring Shank. All in all a powerful Jyotish ring capable of creating many wonders.

The Gemstoneuniverse Value Advantage

We hate to harp on this but we would like to draw your attention to the delicate and exact process of sorting that ensures we are able to provide such wondrous beauties. All Yellow Sapphires are not Gem Quality or Jyotish Quality. Identifying a Jyotish Gem is not an easy task and we go extra lengths to ensure Jyotish Quality.

Moving on, we ourselves are surprised that we listed this beauty as an entry Level Sapphire in May 2011. If this is entry level what is the best level?

Listed first in May 2011 at $295/INR 13,570 per carat we would like you to see the features and the video and let us know if such a Sapphire is available at less than $600 per carat- and this would be a wholesale price, not price for a single unheated yellow sapphire with similar features. And if it is â€“we shall buy from you.

As always, a Gem once listed at Gemstoneuniverse never has a price changed. Even though this Gem might have been viewed by countless individuals since May 2011, it has been shipped out in November 2012.

The magic is- A True Jyotish Gem chooses it wearer and also its destiny wherein in this case was the blessing of the divine feminine and the power of Sri Yantra being a vital part of the design element. A Gem is for a Gem

Note: Dear Patron, We thank you for this wonderful opportunity to create this piece for you.Â It has been an experience that we shall cherish.

10 best one line Ruby Lore’s- The Gem that has inspired Legends.

A Palm Full of Unheated Ruby abundance at Gemstoneuniverse

Does a Jyotish Gem choose its wearer-It certainly did in this case?

Think Ruby and You think of Love, passion and victory. Ruby is the single Gemstone that evokes strong response and has been the subject of countless lore’s. Here are 10 interesting one line lore’s associated with the Ratna Nayaka-The King of Gems-The Ruby. Lore’s or truth its your call.

1) The best rubies are from Mogok Valley in Burma having Imperial Pigeon Blood Color, In the Book, Tavernier’s Travels In India (1640-1676), we read “Asking to see the pigeon’s blood is like asking to see the face of God.”

2) The ancient China, the rank of a Mandarin was indicated by the depth of color in his Ruby ring. Differently ranked mandarins were given different shades of Ruby.

3) In India it is believed that if one donates a fine Ruby to Lord Krishna, one will be born in the next birth as an emperor.

Lord Sri Krishna

4) The earliest monetary value attached to the Ruby in all probability was by Theophrastus, who lived from 372â€“287 B.C stated that of Carbuncle/ Ruby is extremely valuable, one of a very small size being prized at forty aureiâ€ (about $180), and THAT was in his time.

5) In ancient times, ruby stones were kept under a building foundation, to strengthen its structure.

Comments	Does a Gem choose its wearer-It certainly did in this case?Featured today is 2.07 carats unheated Ruby from the Niassa Mine in Mozambique. Yes a 2+ carats fully natural earth mined ruby that is loupe clean-Yes Loupe clean. Notice the fiery embers within the heart of this beauty and a color that is close to Imperial Pigeon Blood color.

Blessed with abundance from the divine such a Ruby is hard to come by in these days of enhancement and specially the way Ruby prices are going.

This stunner was procured by us after considerable effort for an existing patron of Gemstoneuniverse who was particular about having a 2+ carat Ruby only despite the high prices. Among the multitude of Gems that we scanned only 3 qualified on the parameters of being Jyotish Qualilty.

Here is where it gets interesting, at this juncture when the deal was done the patron had a change of heart and picked up a different Ruby from the Gemstoneuniverse Ruby inventory. This Ruby had that special something, something that you can’t put a finger to- it is one of those gemstones that come once in a lifetime.

At this juncture, another Gemstoneuniverse patron called us up and expressed his desire to upgrade his existing Ruby that he had been wearing. A brief chat over the phone and it was done. He did not even look at the Gem such was his experience with the previous one, but off course was delighted when he came to pick up his ring.

The earliest monetary value attached to the Ruby in all probability was by Theophrastus, who lived from 372-287 B.C stated that of Carbuncle/ Ruby is extremely valuable, one of a very small size being prized at forty aureiâ€ (about $180), and THAT was in his time.

We have an interesting piece of information to share- among all yield of Ruby from Mozambique only 5% is Gem Quality and among this small percentage value less than .5% would be Jyotish Quality. In spite of this rarity a true Jyotish Gem finds its way into the hands of its rightful owner.

Luckily, At Gemstoneuniverse the Ruby has blessed us with palm full of abundance and we shall keep providing these magical beauties to our dear patrons.

Comments	The fifth day of the navratri is one that celebrates Goddess Durga in the form of Mother Skandmata, her name literally meaning ‘mother of Skanda’. Skanda is another name of Shiva and Parvati’s son Kartikeya, who leads the armies.

Singashangata Nityam PadmashritKardwaya !
Shubhdaastu Sada Devi SkandMata Yashashwini !!

Skandmata is depicted as one with softness and vatsalya ( mother’s love for her child) radiating from her face. She has a lion as her mount. She has four hands – she carries lotus flowers in two, holds Kartikeya in her lap with one and blesses the devotees with the other.

Vishuddha Chakra

On this day, the meditation is focussed on the Vishuddha chakra or the throat chakra. The throat chakra is the centre of the maha karan sharir or the para causal body/ sheath. It is connected to the akash tattva or ether. The Vishuddha chakra is believed to be the centre of communication and creativity and that the blueprint of destiny lies hidden here. Â It is represented by a 16 petalled lotus. The individual with a healthy vibrating Vishuddha chakra is able to handle one’s worldly interactions adeptly without falling into the trap of illusions and attachment.

Featured today is an exceptional talisman that is in consonance with the energies of Mother Skandmata– a natural and organic Italian red coral necklace talisman. The natural red coral mala has 53+1 round beads totalling to a weight of 38.6 carats, of similar dimensions strung together. The coral beads have the coveted Mediterranean ox blood color. The coral beads are interspersed by floral beads cast in sterling silver.

With jyotish quality red coral becoming scarce, this talisman took lots of time and search effort to put together. It is a customized talisman that has been made to order for the patron upon request and specifications. The number of beads have been especially kept so as they add up to 9 representing the planetary energy of Mars!

Natural red coral or moonga stone is the gem of planet Mars/ Mangal/ Kujan. Red Coral can be worn by individuals with Mesh lagna or Vrishchika lagna. In other words, it can be worn by individuals with Aries or Scorpio ascendant in the natal chart.

Comments	All that gleams and sparkles is not a diamond – in some cases like this it is much more intriguing and mystifying. It is nature’s very own limited edition line of gems – the rare white sapphire.http://youtu.be/bX10Q3GpVeM

Featured today is a premium natural treatment free white sapphire/ colorless sapphire from Srilanka of 3.64 carats. The oval shaped gem has been set in white gold as a Venus talisman ring. The premium white sapphire is a top quality flawless gem with excellent clarity and lustre. The natural white sapphire ring has the symbol of Venus/ Shukra standing in relief on the shanks.

Symbol of Venus

White sapphire also known as safed pukhraj / naram vajramani is the gemstone of Venus / shukra and is the jyotish rashi ratna for the zodiac signs of Taurus/ Vrishabha and Libra/ Tula. White sapphire is colorless corundum.

A white sapphire being a colorless gem requires to be cut and faceted masterfully. In the absence of any specific color, bringing out scintilla and sparkle by play of light becomes still trickier. And since its crystal structure is unlike diamond, the task of bringing out its inherent potential as the glorious gem of Venus is tougher. One must be very careful when purchasing a white sapphire as it is an extremely rare gem and will come at a premium. Insist on certification to ascertain origin as well as authenticity of gem.
