Comments A trained eye can tell a precious gem apart but it takes much more to glean out the jyotish grade gems from the scores put together in gem parcels. A jyotish quality gemstone will stand out among several for you cannot hide the aura of real power.

Featured today is an exceptional gem – a super premium natural unheated Ceylon yellow sapphire. The natural Yellow sapphire from Srilanka is an amazing 3.90 carats of pure charisma, set in 22 karat gold as a Jupiter talisman ring. The cushion cut yellow sapphire has the top canary yellow color – ultimate desirable color in a yellow sapphire. The gem has excellent clarity and lustre – its a brilliant piece!

Yellow sapphire also known as pukhraj or pushyaraag in Hindi is the gemstone of planet Jupiter/ Guru/ Brihaspati. It is the jyotish rashi ratna for the zodiac signs of Sagittarius and Pisces.

The natural yellow sapphire is a very popular gemstone. Sapphire is also regarded as the birthstone of the month of September. Buyers looking for genuine natural yellow sapphire must educate themselves for the markets are full of unscrupulous elements that will palm off imitations (synthetics) or simulants (those that may appear similar)to make a kill. Synthetic yellow sapphire is made in the lab using flame fusion as well as the flux growth method. These are often used in manufacturing of jewelry.

Chatham lab grown sapphires – too good to be true!

Ethical practices require disclosure of the facts – whether a gem is natural or lab grown; whether a gem has been treated to enhance in any manner whatsoever! A certification from a good lab ascertains both.

The word ‘natural’ can only be written for naturally occurring mineral found and sourced from earth and devoid of treatment.

Comments Planetary gem therapy is not just a tool for karmic life map change limited to the elite. The maharatnas are precious and command a high value, which may appear to be a stumbling block to those interested in implementation of gem therapy. However, the availability of upratnas makes it highly viable option for masses and not just the classes. There is way for the willing.

Featured today is a fine natural heliodor from Brazil of 2.34 carats set in Sterling silver as a Jupiter talisman ring. The oval shaped gem has fantastic clarity and appealing golden yellow color with a hint of brown. The appearance of the gem is electric and the color has a metallic sharpness to it.

Heliodor is a variety of the mineral group beryl, which gets its color from traces of iron. Heliodor is yellow beryl that has hint of green or brown in varying degrees. Untreated Heliodor from Brazil, characteristically has a slight brown tinge of color. It is different from golden beryl that is golden yellow in color. One must be careful while purchasing heliodors, for they are irradiated to enhance color. Better intensity and saturation in a colored gemstone fetches a better price.

Comments Gemstones such as the one featured today are what jyotish gemstones should be like. The perfect example of what makes the cut on the stringent parameters required for a jyotish rashi ratna.

Soak in the blissful sight of a natural and unheated Ceylon Blue sapphire set in silver as a Saturn Talisman ring.

The oval shaped gemstone has excellent clarity and electric lustre – hallmarks of a fine natural gem.

In Vedic astrology, natural Blue sapphire or neelam is the gemstone of Lord Saturn/ Shani and is the rashi ratna for the signs/ rashis of Capricorn (makar) and Aquarius (kumbha). For best results in planetary gem therapy one must use a jyotish quality gemstone only.

Please note that in this particular blue sapphire, on display is master lapidary work. The fantastic cutting and polishing of the gem has lent it a matchless brilliance – almost adamantine (diamond like) in nature. The symmetry and dimensions, in fact the aesthetic appeal is completely determined by the cutter who is the artist in the world of gemstones.

Comments Simple and unpretentious Red Coral – The color of passion, of strength, vitality, vigor and valiance! The very personification of Mars – ruddy and strong.https://youtu.be/tQPOJkaF9Pk

Featured today is a natural and organic Italian Red Coral. The treatment free red coral of 4.27 carats has been set in sterling silver as a Mars talisman ring. The red coral is smooth, blemish free and has a rich Mediterranean ox blood color.  Coral is a gem of Organic origin, opaque and therefore is fashioned as a cabochon for the finest finish and look.

Natural Red coral or pravaal/ moonga gemstone is the gem of Mars/ Mangal/ Chevvai/ Kuja/ Angaraka as he is severally known. Moonga Rashi Ratna is the birthstone for the rashis/ signs of Aries (Mesha) and Scorpio (Vrischika).

A well-placed Mars in an individuals birth chart can help one in achieveing the most difficult of feats in life. A talisman made of natural and organic red coral can help harness the energies of this planet.

Natural Red coral has been a favourite with the ancients, be it any civilization, for adornment as well as for healing and protective amulets. The knowledge of metaphysical properties of red coral can be traced quite far back in time. This might just give a clue as to why many Renaissance paintings have cherubs as infants who wear necklaces made of beads and a sprig of coral.

In Christian symbolism, the coral represented the blood of Christ, His passion and resurrection, and therefore its dual nature, human and divine. It is often found nestled in reliquaries and paintings of religious subjects that date back to five or six centuries.

The Romans were the first to practice the technique of engraving, a rather tedious task. They focused more on making coral olives and grains, called “paternoster” used for the production of rosaries.

If you are a natural Red Coral aficionado, there is a treasure house – a real treat that awaits you at the Conte Agostino Pepoli Regional Museum, in Italy where Red art of Trapani’s “mastri curaddari” is celebrated. The creators of this art remained largely anonymous, but were adept in their skill as they brought out the best in coral by using alabaster, shells and mother of pearl. The works of Coral include nativity scenes, cultural artifacts and a crucifix by Brother Matthew (Matteo) Trapani Bavera carved from a single block of coral.

Carved Coral Christ Crucifix A great specimen of ‘Retroincastro’ Chalice of Silver and gilded copper decorated with corals

Corallo – Carving in Red CoralThe master craftsmen here used the technique of ‘retroincastro’ where coral were used in several shapes on wood or metal to form stunning pieces.
