Can Blue Sapphire and Diamond be worn together | Compatible Gemstones with Blue Sapphire

Blue Sapphire and Diamonds set in kundalini pendant Blue Sapphire and Diamonds set in kundalini pendantAs Per Classical Vedic Astrology the planets Saturn and Venus are intimate friends. The Gemstone of Saturn is Blue Sapphire and the Gemstone of Venus is Diamond.

The combination of Blue Sapphire and Diamond is a classical combination that gives good results. Saturn a Karmik planet has a profound impact on the Karmik Life Map and is specially active in this Yuga( The Kaliyuga) and Venus is the significator of luxury, beauty and wealth and represents all material desires and goals.

If both these planets are strong planets and are occupying/ influencing powerful houses in the chart then by all means both Blue Sapphire and Diamond should be worn together. This combination will give much more powerful results than a single gemstone alone.

The ascendants in which Blue Sapphire and Diamond should be considered:

 One look at today’s featured talisman and you know what exactly Jyotish Gemstones are and what makes them so special. At the centre is a beautiful unheated Ceylon Sapphire of 3.03 carats. It has a cool soothing rich blue color that cannot be described in words. Eye clean with a pleasing cushion cut it is a Sujati ( High Born) Gemstone.

Brimming with Sattvik ( Pure) Saturn energies the hint of violet overtones peeping thorough some of its facets have given it a character of its own. It takes years of Gemstone sorting experience to pick up such gems that look so incredibly beautiful. The sorter should have the vision and experience to imagine how the Gemstone would look in a ring/ pendant, combined with different gemstones and/or set in different metals. It is but just one aspect of Jyotish Gem Therapy.

The beauty and the power of the pendant gets accentuated by the halo of round brilliant Diamonds representing the Venusian powers around the Blue Sapphire. The icing on the cake is the design itself that represents the movement of the primordial energy-The Kundalini through the symphony of the mystical alphabet” S”. All in all a talisman that excels on all parameters that ensures that its gives best results for Planetary Gem Therapy

Can Emerald, Diamond and Cats Eye be worn together?

We are all aware of the powerful impact of the nine planets on our lives. What is important to evaluate is that are there certain combinations in the chart that are remarkable and can these combinations be unlocked to give powerful and potent results.

The beauty of Gem Therapy lies in an accurate analysis of debilitating factors and good combinations in the horoscope and making use of effective gemstones to bring in the desired results.

Amongst the nine planets, 3 have a power impact on inner awakening. These 3 are:

Mercury: Mercury controls analysis, intuition, communication and practice. Mercury can make an individual investigate into the deepest hidden secrets and unlock that information for gains. All healing arts require an extra bit of intuition and practise and Mercury helps in these aspects. The Gemstones of Mercury are Emerald and Peridot

Venus: Venus is the great preceptor and represents pure, pristine and unbiased White Knowledge. Venus is beauty and creativity. It helps the individual to be rational, truthful, apply and test the knowledge and implement the same without prejudice. The Gemstones for Venus are White Sapphire and Diamond.

Ketu: The dervish/ mendicant is the planet that signifies Moksha/ Liberation, freedom from pain and negative thoughts and give the strength and courage to perform intense spiritual practices and stock to rigorous spiritual regimens. Ketu is the planet that is a key factor in inner awakening. It also gives occult powers. The Gemstone of Ketu is Cat’s eye Chrysoberyl.

These three Gemstones also provide protection.

People involved in alternative healing practices such as Pranic Healing, meditation, Yogic Healing, Astrology, Mantra chanting, Tarot reading, Psychics etc find the energies of these planets aiding their skills.

How to unlock the potential of these planets?

Some of the combinations occurring in the birth chart/ horoscope in which Emerald, Diamond and Cats Eye can be used but not limited to are listed below:

In Ascendants ruled by Mercury- Virgo and Gemini where these three planets are conjunct, aspecting and located in key houses.

In Ascendants ruled by Venus- Taurus and Libra where these three planets are conjunct, aspecting and located in key houses.

Operation of Dasha or Antardasha (Planetary periods) Where harnessing the energies of these planets be useful!

If these planets influence key houses like 1, 9th, 10th or 5th.

Many other gemstones also have healing powers but this is a unique combination and it can be leveraged using Gem Therapy.

 

These Gemstones bless one with intuition, decision making abilities and a magnetic personality.

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Severe Shortage of Natural Yellow Topaz | Fine Quality Topaz is more expensive than Entry Level Yellow Sapphire.

by 3 Comments

Severe Shortage of Natural Yellow Topaz | Fine Quality Topaz is more expensive than Entry Level Yellow Sapphire.

A Fine Natural Radiation free Yellow Topaz from the Gemstoneuniverse collection A Fine Natural Radiation free Yellow Topaz from the Gemstoneuniverse collection

 

For the last 1 year the Gem that has proved to be elusive for Gemstoneuniverse- Take a Guess? Ruby Pearl Sapphire?

Its not Unheated Ruby( Even though market prices of Natural Rubies are climbing by 30% every six months ), Natural Pearl( There is not a single vendor online that carries the range that Gemstoneuniverse does- There are some b2b options but they are providing the Pearls at a price that is more than Gemstoneuniverse selling price with limited options) or Sapphire

The Answer is Natural Yellow Topaz… Surprised here is the reality…

Current Market Situation of Natural Radiation Free Yellow Topaz

1)      For a Gemstone to be effective for Astrological Purposes it has to be fully natural. This is the first parameter without any exception. Then it has to excel on other parameters that make it a true Jyotish Gemstone. We have examined several lots of Yellow Topaz from Brazil as well as Pakistan in the past 15 months but majority of these goods are treated by Radiation and hence rendered ineffective for Jyotish Purposes.

2)      The Minority of the Goods that are radiation free do not touch the minimum Jyotish Quality clarity level of 85% and do not have a pleasing color and hence ineffective for Jyotish Purposes.

3)      The Asking B2B Price in today’s market ( As of October 2013)  for these minority of the goods( just 1-2 pieces) is more than the price per carat of entry Level yellow Sapphires at Gemstoneuniverse. Today when we recheck the prices that we offered to our patrons for Premium Natural Yellow Topaz its mind boggling for us too. Have a Look at the lot Regalia Below:

 

4)      A Lot of Vendors are deliberately using the misnomer Golden Topaz and selling citrine. Citrine also known as Sunhela is not Yellow Topaz. A few vendors also state that High Quality Citrine is Yellow Topaz- This is an incorrect statement.

5)      The Next Upratna for Yellow Sapphire is the Heliodor and it is going the same way as Natural yellow Topaz. So if you are looking for implementing Gem Therapy with Uparatnas then Heliodors is the way to go presently. We haven’t seen a Jyotish Quality Heliodor Lot since the last upload.

6)      Unless new deposits are discovered the supply outlook of this Beautiful Gemstone looks bleak.

 

No Wonder the Legendary SM Tagore writes in the Manimala:

“ A man who wears a faultlessly Yellow Topaz

possessed of a beautiful shade, weighty, exceedingly cool,

flawless and perfectly round, reaps fame,

heroism, happiness, wealth and length of days.”

 

You can look at entry level yellow Sapphires or Heliodors and implement Planetary Gem Therapy.

We stand by our commitment to Planetary Gemology and our patrons. In no which way we shall upload goods that are not Jyotish Quality. For now the situation is bleak and if there are any improvements we shall keep you posted….

While picking gems for use in planetary gem therapy, Gemstoneuniverse makes sure that these gems are top of the line, 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. Your Gem therapy should be absolutely error free with no guess work- We ensure that.

Mined in the gem fields of Ratnapura Sri Lanka the single outstanding feature of this Neelam is the lovely and calming Sky Blue Color spread evenly throughout the crystal.  Fashioned masterfully in an Oval the scintillating cut makes the lustre shine through every single facet of the Gem ensuring maximum play of light for best Jyotish results.

Jyotish Gems are not about being rich or poor. It should be in your destiny to posses one. So it is quite possible that an individual who is considerably rich still might not have in his fate to get a Jyotish Gem and vice versa

It’s about the true destiny of a natural Jyotish Gem choosing its own wearer. A Gem is for a Gem, Of course.

Dangerous, Incorrect Assumptions- A sure shot method for Gem therapy Failure.

Dangerous, Incorrect Assumptions- A sure shot method for Gem therapy Failure.

A strange Case of ‘Khudrang’ Sapphire and more…


Confusion in Decision Making Confusion in Decision Making

 

Human being is the master of innovation. Be it any situation he has come up with ingenious solutions that beat reckoning. Especially in a field of study/ area of work  in the paucity of in-depth or correct knowledge. This is when estimation of thought, speculation and ingenious euphemisms take birth, to the detriment of the larger good.

Planetary gemology as a field of study opens up new vistas each day, not just with the wonderous gems it brings to the table, but with each human being who is sent hurtling down the corridors of someplace that is a curious mix of uncertainty, curiosity and fear – him (this confused being who is dished differing opinions about this exact discipline) and his several doubts!

Please note that Planetary Gemology and planetary gem therapy are quite exact, the practitioners may differ, owing to their orientation, intent and levels of knowledge.

Gemstoneuniverse gives you three case studies. Take note right in the beginning that the purpose of these case studies is to guide the thought process in the right direction. As mentioned previously that due to paucity of accurate information and divergent views from divergent practitioners, the interested individual is sure to be at a loss. Here’s taking a look at areas and directions that should be ‘NO FLY ZONE’ for your thoughts and imagination!

No Fly Zone No Fly Zone

Case 1 – Variable Percentage Efficiency of Gems – Are You Mistakenly Out to Buy a Gadget Spanning Generations with Variable features?

A query received at the Gemstoneuniverse blog:

Sir, with due regards I wish to ask you, these gems at Gemstoneuniverse are the finest ones, might be with about more than 90% + efficiency so they cost high. Can you tell me what would be average cost of White Pukhraj with 70 to 80% Efficiency and its cost in Indian Market? I would be very thankful.

Regards,
Name Withheld.

 

Case 2 – Is Gemstoneuniverse Your only Option to buy Jyotish quality gems?

A spiritual consultant who implemented gem therapy for himself and loved ones using gemstones from Gemstoneuniverse and reaped good benefits. However, he himself is a gemologist and makes recommendations for his clients. For some of his clients, he ordered gems from Gemstoneuniverse and those clients in turn got good results.

Is it possible that Gemstones sourced from Gemstoneuniverse only work and those bought from other vendors don’t? I have seen dip in results or no results for clients for whom I have sourced gemstones from other vendors since the client did not have the resources to buy from Gemstoneuniverse.

After sometime, he sent us a picture of a Gem and asked for our opinion. Even though we discourage this activity until the physical specimen can be examined by us just based on the photograph, we said that the Gemstone does not look more than 80% clean and clearly isn’t  Jyotish Quality.

The subsequent reply – The pictures are not good enough and that price matches the needs of the client. The client did not have adequate funds to buy from Gemstoneuniverse.

Our take – it’s not about the price or the person or the vendor! The Gem has to be Jyotish Quality absolutely. In such cases it is always better to opt for the substitute gem/ the alternative/ the upratna. An entry level Jyotish Quality gem shall deliver results which a non Jyotish quality gem will never even begin to!

 

Case 3: The Strange Case of Gemstone Christening with a Fancy Name – Will You Buy it Now Sir, Now that I have Made it so Mysterious?

Here’s a piece of conversation that you may never be privy to again –  It all started with a phone call at the Gemstoneuniverse buying division from one of the largest dealers of Gold Worldwide. A potential *****  based, reputable and established client who was looking for Astrology Gemstones. Since the reference was coming from a highly reputable vendor we invited this individual and reproduced below is the Dialogue that followed

Unnecessary portions have been omitted and that what is relevant is reproduced here.

For your understanding,

B  – The Buyer

G – Gemstoneuniverse

 

B: I have seen your website and work it is very good.

G: Thank You very much.

B: I have 25 shops in *****  only.

G: That is good to hear.

B: I am looking to buy Sapphires both Blue and Yellow.

G: Ok, what carat range are you looking for?

B: 5 Ratti to 7.25 ratti.

G: That shall mean the average lot size you are looking for is approximate 6.5 carats.

B: Yes, Yes

G: Are you specific about the origin?

B: Yes, I would like to have Sri Lanka.

G: Have a Look at this Blue Sapphire, (a natural Ceylon sapphire sample is shown) do you prefer a lighter shade or a darker shade?

B: No, No, No, this is very high quality, I want very light but it should be in the weight range I suggested before.

G: This is not high quality. For the size specified by you, this is medium quality and will cost $300 per carat for the whole lot.

B: No, No I am looking at quality from $4 to 10$ per carat.

Now that would be a jaw-dropping moment for any seller in the gem trade, especially in a hub like Bangkok!

G: I am really not aware of such a quality. We do not deal in discarded mineral rough that is at the bottom of the Gem Pyramid.

B: You don’t know this quality?

G: No.

B: Ok ok, don’t worry I shall show you then maybe you shall help me.

At this Juncture he opens a plastic packet which has large sized mineral specimens of Yellow and Blue Sapphire. Not beautiful, full of inclusions, damaged and close to NIL color.

G: What is this?

B: This is real.

G: Maybe what exactly is this?

B: (Chuckles…) In our trade we call it as the Khudrang Sapphire. Khudrang  means: Khud: Own and Rang: Color. A Gemstone having it own color is Khudrang.

G: That is the way you it sell to customers?

B: Yes, I tell them Khudrang is the best natural option available. It is its own color. Rest is done by the Astrologer.

G: What is done by the Astrologer?

B: Many customers like to show the stone to the Astrologer, who says that it is very good.

G: But today with so much information available don’t customers ask you will this work?

B: Yes Many times, my standard reply is we have 25 shops in ***** and I have seen this work for 15 years myself and before that my father has seen this work for 25 years. This is usually sufficient. After all, what can you get for $500. A 5 carat sapphire ring in Gold. Customers just want to hear it will work, that’s it.

G: Sorry we cannot help you, we do not carry this quality.

B: You are such a big company. I want to buy 500 carats of these goods every 3 months.

G: Sorry but it is against the basic fundamentals for which we stand. Such quality cannot even enter our office let alone we dealing in this quality.

B: Can you recommend any other Vendor who can do it, After all it is but a business.

G: No, we do don’t deal with other Vendors.

After a customary 5 minute chit chat and a cup of tea this buyer with 25 shops left our buying division.

Moving on, as we see in both these cases compromises have been made on the fundamental pillar on which Planetary Gem Therapy rests which is Jyotish Quality. Over the past one and half year with 1000 examples on the blog in terms of write-up, pictures and videos we have stretched ourselves to explain Jyotish Quality because Gem therapy shall not work with any other gemstones.

Case 1, is a simple case of the individual putting the blindfold on and justifying acquisition of bad gemstones by comparing efficiency and putting up random figures without research. It makes us dread how many people think like this and waste time, money, energy and effort.

In this case the absolute truth is that either is Gem is 100% effective which it is if it is Jyotish Quality and or is not effective. The fundamental part being here is that the Gem has to be Jyotish Quality. For more information on the same please click the link below:

https://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/jyotishgemstones.php

Secondly, we would like you to have world class insider information about pricing of gemstones Price Gems like a professional:

https://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/gemspricepercarat.php

Sometimes, we have to explain that why sometimes the shipping is more expensive than the gemstone. The lustrous fine treatment free hessonite that you find at Gemstoneuniverse at $90 per carat is not available in wholesale and in lots at $150 per carat. We can offer you great prices but shipping is not under our control.

 

Case 2, here in this case there is a genuine desire to help. But is the desire overriding the basic fundamental of Gem therapy that it is absolutely vital for a Gem to be Jyotish Quality? It is not that the gems sources from Gemstoneuniverse only shall work. Any Gem shall work provided it is Jyotish Quality and to determine that it not an easy task. In this case the best method would have been to implement therapy with Upratnas. Many individuals have got brilliant results with Jyotish Quality Upratnas. Just Natural and untreated doesn’t essentially mean Jyotish Quality.

 

Case 3,The dangerous case of Khudrang Sapphire. See video below for the same. Lack of knowledgeable professionals and greed and corruption make people invent fancy terms/ euphemisms like Khudrang Sapphire. You need to draw your own conclusions if you have implemented therapy with a similar scenario.

It is again our humble request that you go back to the classic:

Do Gems Work- No they Don’t for 90 % of the people and you shall never fail.

https://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/gemsdontwork.php

 

But if your information about Planetary Gem therapy is equivalent to the placebo* picture below then you are at the wrong place and you need to do a whole lot more of reading and research.

*Placebo: is a simulated or otherwise medically ineffectual treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient.

1) This is a classic case of a negative karmik life map which Guruji Shrii Arnav speaks about in the article, Do Gems work. Else, how could one spend an amount of INR 17000( $) 310/- on low mineral grade ore( read rejected trash going by the gem pyramid) and profess not being able to afford a $30 consultation. It was a really bad bargain where a princely sum of $310 (for the gentleman concerned as per his circumstances) bought him trash that would in no way cost anything more than $ 5. This despite having open resources, at disposal, like –

Do Gems Work-No they don’t for 90% of the people.

What is a Jyotish Gemstone?

The Gemstone Pyramid and the truth about Indian taste ka Ghatiya Maal.

What you think is the cheapest is the most expensive.

2) The famous Astrologer is he referring – is nowhere in reckoning where heavyweights in the arena are concerned. For a valued opinion, a body of significant work stands proof and not spate of paid advertisements. There is no literature or references establishing credibility.

3) The website he refers to, clearly showcases low grade mineral ore and a certificate from a lab which can best be classified as dubious. We urge you to verify facts for yourself.

4) Please go through the self-clicked photographs sent by this individual and see the recommendation. He is wearing 4 stones of different colours and these are conflicting stones.  Maybe this has taken him to a position where he cannot afford a of $30/- that has stayed constant for a decade. What negative impact can happen with a recommendation such as this is best left to your imagination!

5) Although, we sympathize with the Gentlemen in question and pray that he finds himself out of the mess and gets solutions to his life issues, we would like to make a case against unscrupulous practitioners such as the ones dealing in the low grade mineral ore shown in the pictures. It puts Jyotish Gems to shame and in no way will re-modify the tricky situations.

It should serve as an alarm for individuals who might not have a sound knowledge of Astrology or Gems, who are gullible and pushed into a corner by circumstances of life against falling prey to such unscrupulous elements.

All that  we can say is-PLEASE DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN WITH YOU!

The science of Planetary Gemology is a sacred branch of knowledge where a veritable tool that gives tangible results where nothing else in life seems to work. It is a force to reckon with, a branch of knowledge that commands and deserves the utmost respect.  Please join hands so that”Jyotish”- the science of light is not shrouded in the darkness of greed and unholy intent.

Guidance of Jupiter and Aim of Mercury – Gemstoneuniverse Congratulates India’s Shooting Stars

A case in point where gems of mutually inimical planetary energies give good results

 

 

Olympic Bronze winner Gagan Narang and his Gems

 

 

 

 

Now that’s something for a start. It was a great day for India yesterday as Gagan Narang won the Olympic bronze in 10 meter air rifle event – winning its first medal on the London 2012 Olympics! Kudos to the young man for his brilliant performance.

We at Gemstoneuniverse heartily congratulate the sportsperson for bringing in the glory!

Aside of the grit and the hard work, he has put in, what makes us wonder is just what a smattering of stardust  can do! Call it what you will, but after the glorious bronze medal, the eyes quickly make way to the gleaming yellow sapphire on his index finger and the verdant natural emerald sitting pretty on his little finger as he shows of the medal with a radiant smile!

Gagan Narang is an ace Indian shooter, especially in Air rifle shooting, supported by the Olympic Gold Quest – a foundation of sports and games that supports athletes and sports people capable of winning Olympic medals. He was the first Indian to qualify for the London Olympics.

We’ve got more to look forward to…

Double Trap Shooter Ronjan Sodhi

There’s Ronjan Sodhi up next who’s Men’s double trap event is scheduled on August 2nd, 2012. Ronjan Sodhi is an ace Indian trap shooter, who won two silver medals in 2010 Commonwealth Games and a gold medal at the 2010 Asian Games. In 2011, he became first Indian to defend a world cup title. He is also a recipient of Arjuna award. Ronjan Sodhi became the only Indian marksman to grab the top spot in the latest ISSF World Rankings.

Interestingly, Ronjan also sports a sparkly yellow sapphire and an emerald.

Another point to note here is that mutually inimical gemstones (please note that both the gentlemen in question are wearing yellow sapphire as well as emerald) can be prescribed in exceptional cases, by a trained and experienced astro-gemmologists. So here is some food for thought, for the ones who have tried to straight jacket the multidimensional discipline of planetary gemology for the lack of complete knowledge!

We wish him all the best.

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

What Are Upratnas, Semi-Precious Gemstones, Super alternative gemstones & Do they work astrologically?

by 7 Comments

What Are Upratnas, Semi-Precious Gemstones, Super alternative gemstones & Do they work astrologically?

Guruji Shrii Arnav

Natural Peridot Ring-Courtesy Gemstoneuniverse.com Natural Peridot Ring-Courtesy Gemstoneuniverse.com

 

Semi precious stones ? Wondering what are these, A frequent question that I often see addressed to Gemstoneuniverse and also the one that has been asked to me countless times : Do Upratnas or Semi-Precious Stones Work? If they do, how effective are they? Can they be considered equally effective as the Navaratanas? Before we dwell into answers of the above questions we should be very clear about what exactly is an Upratna or Uparatana?

Definition of an Upratna?

An Upratna or Semi-Precious Stones are a superior substitute to a Navratna- one of the Nine precious Gemstones. I frankly do not like calling a Gemstones Semi- precious, though some do, purely from the point of view of convenience. However, do note that a Gem Quality and a Jyotish Quality Semi Precious Gemstone is a valuable Gemstone.

The important thing here being- Gem Quality and Jyotish Quality. Even though Indian sacred texts list the use of 84 such semi precious Gemstones, my attempt here is to share information about those substitute gemstones that deliver the best results. This is based on experience and statistical results of many years.

What are the Navratnas?

The Nine Primary planetary Gemstones prescribed in the Shastras (sacred texts) are called the Navratnas (literally translated means nine gems). These are listed below:

The Navratnas-Nine Primary Gemstones

S.no Planet Gem Name( English) Gem Name( Hindi)
1. Sun Ruby Manikya
2. Moon Pearl Moti
3. Mars Red Coral Moonga
4. Mercury Emerald Panna
5. Jupiter Yellow Sapphire Pukhraj
6. Venus Diamond Vajramani/ Heera
7. Saturn Blue Sapphire Neelam
8. Rahu Hessonite Gomed
9. Ketu Cat’s Eye Lehsunia/ vaidurya

You will find this list on more than 100,000 websites.

So what is the point of making this list yet again?

Well, it is relevant to our discussion. If you look at the list closely – Pearl, Red Coral, Hessonite and Cat’s Eye are classified in the gem trade as Semi Precious Gemstones for the sake of convenience, whereas the description of Shastras is accurate, factual – these are among the Nine Precious Gemstones representing the Nine Planets.  All these Navratanas have to be gem quality and Jyotish quality to deliver planetary results.

Please make note that in the Shastras the term Semi-Precious (or allusion to a category indicating monetary value) does NOT exist.

Listed in the sacred texts are Upratnas – Superior Substitute Gemstones to be used in lieu of the 9 primary precious Gemstones for getting planetary energies and benefits. And this is what is exactly meant by Upratnas.

In the Indian sacred texts 84 Upratanas have been mentioned. Each of them is used for achievement of an objective or a desire, for resolution for a medical condition, for wealth, for attracting the right partner and for different planets.

Here I shall mention those, which are the best Uparatnas for the nine planetary gemstones. Even though, the efficacy of Agates/ Haqiq, Malachite/ Dana Firang etc.are legendary, we shall restrict our discussion to the Uparatnas of the nine planetary gemstones.

 

Best Upratnas/ Best Substitute Gemstones for Planetary Energies

 

S.no Planet Upratna of 1st Choice Upratna of 2nd Choice
1. Sun Red Garnet Spinel
2. Moon Blue Moonstone White Moonstone
3. Mars Carnelian Red Agate
4. Mercury Peridot None
5. Jupiter Yellow Topaz* Heliodor
6. Venus White Sapphire White Zircon**
7. Saturn Iolite Amethyst
8. Rahu Lapis Lazuli None
9. Ketu Cat’s eye quartz None

*Yellow Topaz is precious and rare and in many instances gives results that are as potent as a Yellow Sapphire. It should not be confused with abundantly available and much lesser priced Citrine, which does NOT give results as a Yellow Sapphire alternative.

** Colorless Top Quality treatment-free Zircon is a potent Uparatana and gives good results. It is often mistakenly called as Jerkin, Zarcan by ill-informed individuals.

*** In the columns marked none – I have not found any gemstone that bought in superior results.

What we have here is a list of 14 gemstones out of 84 choices. These are the best alternatives and deliver results that are satisfactory. I have mentioned only those, which I have noticed delivering quantifiable results first hand. Others also do work but the effect is not quite comparable to these.

Moving on to the second part of the query – Are they effective? And can they be considered as effective as Navratnas?

Yes, upratnas are effective and they provide good results provided they are GEM quality and Jyotish Quality. If Not, Then no results.

The demand of Jewellery industry are so high that today most of the market is flooded with Semi Precious Gemstones – not necessarily Upratnas (Read what actually are Uparatnas above) that go through several treatments such as radiation, dyeing etc. to improve appearance. Treated Gemstones will give no results for Jyotish Purposes.

Jyotish Quality= Gem Quality + Free from Treatment + Free from any kind of flaws listed in the scared texts.

Where Gem Quality means that a Gem excels on the all 4C’s of Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight.

Are Uparatanas as effective as the Nine Primary Gemstones?

Well, there is no unit of measure or yardstick where the results between delivered by them can be compared. Here’s an example to help you understand better –  if we were to travel from point A to point B, we could do that by an aeroplane or on a motorcycle.

You can compare the results of Jyotish Quality Navratnas as that of an aeroplane and that of Jyotish quality Upratnas as that of a motorcycle. The important part is that they get the job done that is to traverse the distance and reach point B.

Upratnas create miracles and are a fantastic starting point for Gem Therapy. Some of them such as Peridot and Yellow Topaz have many extra benefits in addition to the planetary benefits.

Mull on this – Gem quality Green Jade( Jadeite), mentioned as one of the Upratnas among the 84 that find mention in the sacred texts is known as Sang-E-Yashab ( Classified as Semi Precious in some trade circles) and is excellent for heart health, is sometimes more expensive per carat than a Ruby, Sapphire or an Emerald. In case you happen to try an upratna and it spins some magic for you, You would be inseparable from your talisman, rendering your upratna invaluable. Therefore, there are no precious and semiprecious gems – just gemstones!

A small prayer for you, which you should also recite for yourself, your loved ones and the whole universe

Sarve bhavantu sukhinah= may all be happy
Sarve santu niramayah= may all be free from disease
Sarve bhadrani pashyantu = may all see good and auspicious in everything.
Ma kaschit duhkha bhaag bhaveet– may none be unhappy or in distress
Om shantih, shantih, shantih-Om peace, peace, peace!

With Blessings, Love and Peace

Comments Truly good things come in small packages. Just like the gemstone featured today.

Take a look at this fully natural and unheated Ceylon yellow sapphire. The yellow sapphire is a dainty nugget at 2.07 carats and has been set in 22-karat gold as a ladies yellow sapphire ring in a bezel setting. It is a mixed cut oval gem with a rich butter yellow color, great clarity and electric lustre, which is quite the hallmark of Ceylon yellow sapphires.

The top view of the gem can never be enough to assess it for a gem with a small table may have a belly cut, where most of its carat weight is concentrated. In such a case the depth of the gem is larger than usual. In the case of this gem, the depth of this yellow sapphire is almost 4 mm.

Yellow sapphire or Pukhraj is the gem of planet Jupiter also known as Brihaspati or Guru in Vedic Astrology and a clean, natural, unheated yellow sapphire can be used to harness the energies of this benevolent planet in a powerful manner.

Iolite Inclusions

Natural Iolite in far sizes is rarely eye clean. To recognize a natural Iolite look for grains and crystal of Silica inside the Gemstone.

About this Iolite Ring?

Comments For us at Gemstoneuniverse each single Gemstone Ring or pendant that we provide is alive, alive with Vedic Energy, Energy that has the power of change, change for the positive, change for betterment.Every Single gem is so powerful and every single gem that we showcase gives us the opportunity of sharing with you knowledge and information not available easily. Knowledge that sets you apart from everybody else.

Even though the term Jyotish Quality is not incredible complicated it is not easy also to fully understand the true ramifications of Jyotish Quality easily. It takes a decade to fully understand just the 4C’s of cut, color, and clarity and carat weight but to understand Jyotish Quality it takes longer.

It requires patience, dedication, desire to excel, practice and above all humility.

This Emerald ring gives us an opportunity to share some vital information with you regarding Jyotish Quality Emeralds.

What exactly is a Jyotish Quality Emerald

Essentially explained in Bulleted Points to avoid complications:

-          The Emerald should be beautiful

-          The color should be fine( more on this later)

-          The clarity should be 85% and more that ensures a full play of light.

-          Cut should be symmetrical adding to the beauty and lustre of the Emerald.

-          AND it should be treatment free.

 

That’s it. Is it that simple? NO. Every single bulleted point above carries several other permutations and combination and that is why Vedic Gem Therapy is an ocean and the vital information is available only to a selected few.

The Shastras specify that even among all shades of emerald only 7 shades are most preferred. One of the shades of emeralds specified in the sacred texts is of the color of new born grass of the species Vallisneria Octandra.

Vallisneria Octandra new born Grass one of the preferred shades of Emeralds as described in the sacred texts.jpg

 

There are other 6 shades that also bring about the desired results. This particular Emerald featured above is of the color of Vallisneria Octandra. Just as the sacred texts specify preferred shades, the texts also specify undesirable shades that lead to problems and complications.

Another Example of Vallisneria Octandra new born Grass one of the preferred shades of Emeralds as described in the sacred texts Another Example of Vallisneria Octandra new born Grass one of the preferred shades of Emeralds as described in the sacred texts

Flaws to avoid In a Jyotish Quality Emerald?

For Every Gemstone to be used for harnessing of Planetary energies for good fortune the sacred texts describe the flaws to be avoided. 8 primary flaws and 6 secondary flaws have been enlisted in the shastras that have to be avoided totally in emeralds. These Flaws bring about bad luck, problems and complications.

One of the Flaws to be avoided is that the Emerald should not be a Bishfota. A Bishfota emerald is an emerald having a Yellow Spot. A Bishfota Emerald causes death from wounds, injury, accident or weapons.

So even if the Emerald qualifies on the bulleted points listed above for a Jyotish Quality Emerald if it is a Bishfota or has any other flaw as listed in the Shastras it fails to be a Jyotish Quality Gem. It will bring problems and complications.

Note: At Gemstoneuniverse we move with a passion and service towards planetary gem therapy and the singular vision and mission that no flaw creeps into the Gem Therapy. Every single staff member is a GIA certified Gemologist plus an expert in examination of the Gemstones as per the sacred texts. Every Single Gemstone that makes it to the Gemstoneuniverse inventory is a True Jyotish Gem that delivers true results. Free from any flaws as listed in the sacred texts.

Lovely New Born Grass Green Color having the shade of Vallisneria Octandra devoid of any flaws as listed in the sacred texts. View the equal distribution of color that makes the gem look gorgeous. Add to that the element of exceptional clarity, the distinctness of the origin and lack of any makeup read enhancing treatment and you have a Jyotish Gem a Gem capable of creating remarkable turnarounds.
