Significance of Akshaya Tritiya – Importance of Akshaya Tritiya

Fortune With Natural Yellow Sapphire on Akshaya Tritiya

Greetings on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya â€“ The third (thritiya tithi) day of the waxing lunar phase in the Hindu month of Vaishakh that promises to keep fortunes or positive endeavours made this day on an eternal growth path. It is a very auspicious day for new beginnings.

While there is much hype created around the day for buying gold and other assets, the day is generally a good one to start new initiatives. It is a day when Dharmaraj Yudhishthira, the eldest Pandava got the Akshaya Patra from Surya. Upon being exiled to the forest, Yudhishthira would face utter dejection sometimes as he would find himself unable to feed the people with him as well as the holy men, sages who would come by.

He performed some austerities that pleased Surya who blessed him and gave him the akshaya patra on akshaya tritiya â€“ a vessel that would provide unlimited food in the day. This would enable him to look after his people. There are many more tales and beliefs that are well known about this day. In Vedic astrology, all gemstones can be instrumental in bringing good fortune.

However, Jupiter or Brihaspati is regarded as the harbinger of good fortune and thus his gem, the yellow sapphire is highly valued.

Weight	1.74 & 1.98 carats

Comments	Creative ideas can resolve any conundrum in the world. As they say, where there is a will there is a way. Gem therapy need not be restricted by the unavailability or inability to afford a specific natural gemstone. In the world of natural gemstones, prices increase exponentially with increase in size. And this is especially true for gems above two carats.

As the weight increases, so does the price for every decimal point! And if you are looking at jyotish gems that are at the apex of gem pyramid, the finesse and parameters of cut, color and clarity will increase the value to incredible levels! It’s a seller market. So in such a scenario, if you are looking at gem therapy with over 3.5-4 carats, there is a creative solution out.

A patron looking to do just that picked up two excellent jyotish quality natural yellow sapphires of 1.74 carats and 1.98 carats and set them in a single talisman which you can see in the photo as well as the video. Successful planetary gem therapy is singularly contingent upon correct recommendation as well as picking the right tool (read jyotish quality gemstones) to implement the same. Two separate gems of lesser weight will definitely cost lesser compared to a single heavyweight gem.

So you can stagger your gem therapy and do it affordably as well. Featured today are natural unheated yellow sapphires from Srilanka weighing 1.74 and 1.98 carats set in 22-carat gold as a Jupiter talisman ring. Both gems add up to nearly 4 carats of weight and are rich butter yellow in color.

Natural Yellow sapphire or pukhraj is the gemstone of Planet Jupiter / Brihaspati and is used to harness its benevolent energies.

Top Tips for Choosing a Blue Sapphire How to Buy a Genuine Natural Blue Sapphire

May 6, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

Top Tips for Choosing a Blue Sapphire How to Buy a Genuine Natural Blue Sapphire

Also goes by names: neelam, safir, yakut, zapphir

Mineral Composition: Corundum, Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3)

Mohs Scale Hardness: 9.0

Sources of Origin: We wish it was so simple to put gems into exclusive brackets with the shove of a glance. However, we have tried best to list a characteristic picture of gems from the main sources.

1. Kashmir

2. Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

3.Burma (Mogok)

4. Australia

5. Montana (USA)

6. Madagascar

7Thailand (kanchanaburi)

8.Tanzania

9. Kenya

This is also on of the reasons why we emphasize on why you should seek out unheated and untreated Blue sapphires. Treatments mask the natural flaws and characteristics of gems and can alter their appearance to unbelievable levels.

What you should look for in Your Blue sapphire

There is a lot of difference between a real gemstone and a stone. It could be the latter masquerading in the garb of the former. Please ascertain whether the gem you are about to purchase is –

– Jyotish Quality

– Natural

–Unheated

–Treatment-free

– Certification from a gem Lab

– Credentials of the seller

Blue Sapphire and the 4 Cs

Cut

Round

Emerald

Cushion

Oval

Princess

Baguette

Mixed

Marquise

Pear

Heart

Cabochon

Square emerald

Ovals and Cushions are the most popular cuts in Blue sapphires. As the complexity and fanciness quotient of the gem cut increases, so does the price but geometrically. A fancy cut requires sacrificing on the weight (quite a bit of caratage is lost to the shape and therefore the escalated cost)! Among the oval and cushions too, a cushion cut gem fetches a better price than an oval.

The cut impacts the brilliance of the gem in the biggest manner. Master cutting of gem ensures best play of light in a gem. If the cutter errs on cutting, especially vis- -vis the critical angle the light will leak away and neither the brilliance, nor the color of the gem is optimally displayed.

2. Color

The above image serves as a rough parameter for gauging the vast range of color of blue sapphires. Among those too, the saturation/ intensity of color will vary and so will the hues. Dark blue midnight tones, to rich velvety silks, to soft medium tones, to clear waters like a pristine soul such is the vast variation in the availability of the blue sapphires.

In trade terms, pricing of colored gemstone will be heavily influenced by hue, tone and saturation of color. The rich the color, higher the price.

3.Clarity

The crystalline features of the gem and presence/ absence of pits, feathers, needles, silk, twinning etc. determine the brilliance, transparency and appearance of the gem. Lesser the number of clarity characteristics in your natural gem, the higher priced it will be.

Eye Clean

Loupe clean

Over 95% clarity

Heavily included

Opaque Stone

Planetary gem therapy works on the principle of Passage of light, barring in the case of organic gems like pearl and coral. If your gem is poor quality/ opaque placebo, it is practically useless for jyotish purposes.

4. Carat weight

2.16 carat jyotish quality

6.25 ratti neelam

7.25 ratti neelam

You could well hang a kettlebell in your neck if you go by the prescribed weights doing rounds in market. It is always better to wear a jyotish quality gemstone rather than a STONE which will not be able to deliver any results at all.

The less said the better. The pictures speak a lot for themselves.
