Celebrating the Power of Mind with Natural Italian White Coral and Natural Pearl

Celebrating the Power of Mind with Natural Italian White Coral and Natural Pearl

Natural White Coral & Natural Pearl Talismancom Natural White Coral & Natural Pearl Talisman

copyscapegemstoneuniverse1

The mind is a powerful mechanism. It is the ultimate deciding force where success or failure; verve or hopelessness are concerned. If the mind is strong, any situation can be overcome, any mountain scaled! However, if the power of the mind is compromised, it can become a self-defeating mechanism, a tool of destruction.

In the world of Vedic astrology, mind is the domain of the planet Moon. Its influence on the mind is similar to its element – the water! Just as the watery element shifts, ebbs and peaks, the mind also oscillates as the Moon would have it. If the Moon is strong, there is a greater stability and balance, which is vital for good decision-making and subsequently good action. In a birth chart, the planet Moon finds its exaltation (peaks in its power) in the sign of Taurus and finds debilitation (is extremely weak) in the sign of Scorpio.

A debilitated Moon should always be strengthened by wearing its gem – the natural pearl. Such a position of Moon can lead to a dysfunctional way of thinking and distort view of the world.

While Moon is the biggest governing force for mind, one must also understand the role of the planet Mars in on the mind. Mars denotes a raw power – the essential life force that gives courage, determination, stamina and vitality. One has to appreciate that the state of physiology and the state of mind are interlinked deeply and they can each affect the other. A hampered or hyper state of physiological function alters the thought. It either may lead to depression or may lead to an agitated state – the point to note is that balance is missing. A compromised Mars can bring about just this kind of results. Deep-seated complexes trigger strong self-preservation mechanisms that can be seen as maladjustment by society.

In case of a debilitated Mars (Mars becomes weak in the sign of Cancer which is ruled by Moon, and hence the mind connection can be established), it becomes imperative to wear a white coral life long which helping in balancing the physiology and the state of mind too.

Interestingly, both the natural pearl as well as white coral are gems of organic origin and are found in the seas.

For the purpose of planetary gem therapy, these gems, white coral and natural pearl must be set in silver as talismans.

Go Green New Parcels of Colombian and Zambian Emeralds

June 29, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 2 Comments

Go Green New Parcels of Colombian and Zambian Emeralds

MANIMAL 2013 - Natural Colombian emeralds MANIMAL 2013 – Natural Colombian emeralds

copyscapegemstoneuniverse1The rich green color of emeralds is matchless in its ability to soothe and rejuvenate. Green is the color of freshness and new life. Among the gemstones, emerald holds its own just because of this exceptional trait. No matter what the shade of emerald, it stands out and one will be able to notice during the process of selection that there is invariably a shade of emerald that complements the skin tone of the individual. Gemstoneuniverse presents its two new parcels of fully natural treatment free Colombian and Zambian emeralds – Manimal 2013 and Matang 2013.

Colombian emeralds are marked by a lighter shade of green but much clearer crystal. The Zambian emeralds on the other hand are characterised by a deep rich shade of green with a hint of blue. On an average the Colombian emeralds are highly valued compared to their Zambian counterparts. But real determination of value is done on the basis of individual gem and its measuring up on the benchmarks of cut, clarity, color, carat weight etc. A prized Zambian may sometimes outdo the Colombian gem by a great margin.

According to Vedic Astrology, Natural emerald or zammrud or panna is the gemstone of Planet Mercury or Budh.

While picking gems for use in planetary gem therapy, Gemstoneuniverse makes sure that these gems are top of the line, with even the emeralds (that tend to be highly included, as the crystal grows naturally) displaying enviable clarity and great lustre! There are no compromises made on quality and even great looking natural gems are rejected, if they carry internal flaws (doshas) that could interfere with your gem therapy.

Manimal 2013 is the new parcel of natural Colombian emeralds. Each gem of Manimal 2013

– Is fully natural and treatment free
– Is of Colombian origin
– Is early summer grass green in color
– Has fantastic clarity
– Has great jyotish weight
– Is a mixed oval cut gem in shape
– Is devoid of any doshas mentioned in sacred texts
– Has abundant Mercury energies

Natural Red Coral and Natural Yellow Sapphire Talismancopyscapegemstoneuniverse1

The nature of planets determine many of the attributes an individual displays in his or her personality and behaviour. It becomes all the more so if the planets are powerfully placed and their energies are pronounced.

There are many famous personalities who have ad this conjunction and have made very significant contributions in their filed of work – Winston Churchill, Angelina Jolie, JFK, Jiddu Krishnamurthy, Mother Teresa etc.

While Mars is a raw force, the energy of personal will, that an individual uses to act upon and decide, Jupiter is the guiding light that shines light upon the way for this individual.  Individuals with this conjunction in their horoscope have exemplary determination and fearlessness to achieve their goals in life. These individuals can achieve great levels of financial heights and are able to generate all the trappings of success and comfort. They can be pioneers in their field and are quite adventurous. These are the individuals, who will comfortably take on the most daunting challenges and turn out successful, where others are likely to chicken out!

Jupiter Mars conjunction also gives fantastic levels of understanding and intelligence that is further sharpened by pursuit as these natives do not shy away from hard work. This placement of planets also gives possibility of acquiring great name and fame, public acclaim to the individual. It is especially beneficial in cases where Jupiter and/ or Mars are natural yogkarakas for the individual. These individuals can be highly learned and of a philosophical bent of mind. Spiritual leaders, healers, teachers, educators in any manner also may have this yoga.

Jupiter rules over the 9th trine house of fate and fortune and the 6th house also. The important thing to note in this case is that the 9th as well as the 10th house both are in conjunction and these driving forces acquire edge with each other support.

Leo ascendant: In Leo ascendant, Mars owns the 4th quadrant house and the 9th trine house. Jupiter owns the 5th trine house and the 8th house also. Mars and Jupiter conjunction for the Leo Ascendant can be very powerful too.

Scorpio Ascendant: Individuals born under the Scorpio ascendant have Mars ruling over the 1st house / ascendant and the 6th house and Jupiter ruling over the 2nd house of wealth as well as the 5th trine house. All in all a good result for this ascendant too.

It’s the rule. The world follows the daring trendsetters who have displayed a penchant for all that is different and unique. Princess Diana was an icon and her choices definitely set the tone for fashionistas around the world.

It started when she chose a blue sapphire engagement ring! Royalty settling for just a £30,000 ring in 1980s was scoffed at. She could have pointed a finger at the choicest of jewels!

photo

However, this is the ring that came to stir up an unprecedented demand worldwide for a design that has come to be known as the Princess Diana ring design. Her ring that now sits on the finger of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, (after prince William proposed marriage to her with this ring) features a large oval cut blue sapphire that is around 12 carats in weight (there is also conflict in views about this gem being 18 carats of weight!), surrounded by a halo of 14 flawless diamonds. The ring is in 18-karat white gold.

Women of taste still raise a toast to the classic beauty and choice of Princess Di, by customizing their rings to this particular design.

What are Jardines in Emeralds?

Minimum Acceptable Clarity Levels in a Jyotish Emerald

Natural Colombian Emerald Natural Colombian Emerald

copyscapegemstoneuniverse1

The alluring emerald forms a distinct variety of gemstone by itself. A gem that makes it into the big three of the colored gemstones – Ruby, Sapphire and emeralds, the emeralds are highly valued and prized. However, unlike its other counterparts, its value is determined most by the color and cut and clarity have a relatively lesser role to play.

The emerald gem is a result of quite a few elements coming together in its process of formation, which takes hundreds of millions of years, and therefore it occurs as a highly included gem naturally.

The inclusions within the emeralds are actually accepted as marks of being genuine. If one is getting a relatively inclusion free emerald at anything less than a prohibitive price point, it should be a red flag!

Inclusion free, naturally occurring flawless emeralds of significant size will be very few and whatever specimens are available will cost an arm and a leg!

These inclusions of emeralds are very different from the flaws and inclusions in diamonds. While diamond is pure carbon, emerald is a mix of more elements beryllium aluminium silicate to be precise! Its formation through a complex process with the interaction of several elements invariably leads to generation of a crystal that is included. Most of the emeralds will have three phase inclusions – with fluid, gas as well as crystals within the emerald.

The most valued emeralds have a rich green color with ever so little hint of a bluish tint with good saturation, display the oil drop effect and are relatively inclusion free. The trade always looks the factors of absence or presence of treatment and color first while determining the value of an emerald.

What Exactly are Jardines?

The emerald dealers have romanticised the inclusions by calling them jardines- the French word for gardens! Jardines help establish the authenticity of the gem and also help in distinguishing the origin of the gem in a huge way.

What are the minimum clarity levels acceptable in jyotish quality emeralds?

Jyotish quality emeralds should have at least 80 per cent clarity levels. To know more about it, click here.

How Many Gems Should You Wear for Planetary Gem Therapy?

Natural Untreated Amethyst and white sapphire ring Natural Untreated Amethyst and white sapphire ring

copyscapegemstoneuniverse1

 

 

There are nine planets, 12 zodiac signs, 27 nakshatras combined with many more parameters that decide the course of an individual’s life. If and when, an individual does decide to implement planetary gem therapy, the ideal way is to complete the therapy by wearing all suitable gems. A single gem may give benefits in quite a few areas of life, but a combination of favourable gems is able to render a more holistic experience as well as benefits from implementation of gem therapy.

For instance, planetary positions may sometimes restrict recommendation to a single gem. In certain exceptional cases a maximum of five different gems may suit an individual. In rare cases, gem therapy is not recommended at all. On the other hand a navratna may suit everyone but it requires tremendous good fortune to be able to own one.

One aspect to notice and pay attention to is that an individual’s life is a sum total of parts and one talisman may not be a single point solution. Most of the significant events have a karmic bearing and they precipitate to impart important lessons. Suitable gems and their energies are be able to smoothen the ride with a dash of good fortune thrown in.

Many a times individuals are averse to wearing more than one ring or one talisman on their person. But where there is a will there is a creative way to harness the energy. Gemstones favourable to an individual can be combined into the same ring or pendant and the energies of more than one planets can be harnessed at the same time.

Peridot- Meaning, Mythology, Uses, Deposits, treatments, Gemology and Color

Natural Chinese Peridot Natural Chinese Peridot

copyscapegemstoneuniverse1

 

 

Peridot Meaning

The word peridot is most likely a derivative of the Arabic name Faridat meaning ‘gem’. Alternatively some experts also like to believe that it is derived from the French word peritot meaning unclear. Most of the peridots display a sleepy appearance. Jyotish Gem quality peridot must be clear. It also goes by the name chrysolith / chrysolite as well as olivine because of its typical color. The gem was found earliest in an island off the coast of Egypt called Zabargad and hence is referred to as zabarjad in local parlance. Forsterite-Fayalite mineral.

Peridot Mythology

Cleopatra Cleopatra

Peridot was a gem much loved by Cleopatra. It is speculated that Cleopatra’s splendid emeralds were actually peridots that are also known as ‘evening emerald’. In Hawaiian mythology, peridots are regarded to be goddess Pele’s tears. Pele was the goddess of fire, lightening and volcanoes. One can see peridots encrusted in many old church shrines. Peridot is mentioned in the Bible under the Hebrew name of “pitdah”. Peridot along with 11 other gems, representing the 12 Jewish tribes were used in the fabled Breastplates of the Jewish High Priests.

Goddess Pele Goddess Pele

Peridot Uses

Peridot is regarded as the birthstone for the month of August.

Gift a Peridot Gift a Peridot

It is considered a favourable gift for 16th wedding anniversary. It has some great metaphysical properties, where it helps the wearer in healing from the burden of the past. It help to discard the emotional baggage and do away with the mental monsters. Peridot is believed to help in restoring good health to one who suffers from asthma, sinus trouble, ulcers or respiratory diseases. It is said to energise the body and give hope on a mental level.

Mercury also known as Hermes Mercury also known as Hermes

Peridot is the gemstone of Mercury. It is the substitute gem for natural emerald. The name ‘evening emerald is just a euphemism that traders use. It is NOT an emerald. According to the ancient discipline of Vedic astrology, it is used for harnessing the powers of a favourable Mercury in the birth chart.

Peridot Deposits

Historically – the Zabargad island (now known as St. John’s Island) in the Red Sea,

Currently important deposits are in:

Pakistan, Myanmar, Vietnam, Australia, Brazil, China, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, Sri Lanka,

Tanzania, United States (Arizona and Hawaii)

Peridot crystals have also been collected from some Pallasite meteors. A famous Pallasite was offered for auction in April 2008 with a requested price of close to $2 million at Bonhams, but remained unsold. The Fukang specimen outshines all other known examples of the pallasite class, which makes up just one per cent of all meteorites.

What is Kashmir Blue Sapphire?

What is Kashmir Blue Sapphire?

The star of kashmir

The star of Kashmir

copyscapegemstoneuniverse1

It was way back in the 1880’s that a landslide hit the obscure Padder region in Kashmir that exposed some blue stones. These were brought down by the wandering hill men who traded them for a few necessities they required. However, the word spread about something extraordinary being seen. Traders from Delhi and those as far as in Calcutta rushed to get what they could.

This was the legendary Kashmir blue sapphire.

Kashmir Blue sapphire is the most prized blue sapphire in the world. While the mining for it began with very primitive methods in the inhospitable region of Sumjam or Sungchang in the early 1880’s, the deposits reportedly now yield no more corundum. Now any piece of Kashmir blue sapphire that becomes available is from private resources. Kashmir blue sapphire is the richest, velvety toned cornflower blue. There is a lazy, saturated quality to the color blue in these gems.

However, what must be noted here is that Kashmir sapphires came in all ranges from the palest blues to the richest of Cornflower blues to almost blackish gems. It is the homogenous saturated cornflower blue color that fetches the best price. The sapphire Guru Richard Huges in his seminal book Ruby and Sapphire quotes Rajroop Tank’s description, The sapphires of Kashmir form an exclusive class of their own. The color of these sapphires resembles the beautiful hue of the peacock’s neck. Even a small concentration of that fine color illuminates the entire structure of the gem.

Most of these gems are cut very carefully as sugarloaf cabochons to bring out the best color. The Kashmir sapphire rough used to pose a huge challenge for the cutter. While the quality was excellent, the rough occurred as spindle shaped hexagonal bipyramid, with color mostly on the outside and the remaining crystal being practically colorless. The problem intensified if the crystal had corroded and was covered with unrelenting kaolin clay! One can appreciate the gift that the lapidarist brings to the table, when he can fashion a fascinating, richly hued gem out of a rough that occurs thus.

Since the unavailability of the Kashmir blue sapphire hit markets, the Ceylon Blue sapphires have dominated the blue sapphire trade, with their clear lustrous crystal and beautiful water.

The Star of Kashmir 19.88 carat Kashmir Blue Sapphire fetched a record breaking per carat price for a sapphire and fetched a whopping $3,484,142, nearly 20 crore in Indian rupees. The platinum ring has a cushion-shaped sapphire, weighing approximately 19.88 carats, flanked on either side with cushion-shaped diamonds, weighing approximately 3.02 and 2.72 carats, to the graduated diamond line shoulders and engraved sides. 

According to Christie’s, The Star of Kashmir is part of the exclusive family of the rarest Kashmir sapphires ever to be offered at auction. This superb gemstone combines an exceptional size with a richly saturated and homogenous cornflower blue color that is highly desired in Kashmir gems.”
