New Lot of Natural Blue Moonstone – Shaleen 2013

March 8, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 2 Comments

New Lot of Natural Blue Moonstone – Shaleen 2013

Shaleen 2013

The word Shaleen in Hindi is an adjective used to describe an individual with impressive and amazing grace, poise and elegance. This is exactly what these lovely blue moonstones convey by their appearance. Here’s presenting the new lot SHALEEN 2013, of natural and treatment free blue moonstone. Truly representative of the lunar energies, these blue moonstones are breath taking and very potent tool of planetary gem therapy.

These natural and treatment free blue moonstones come from the island of Serendib, currently known as the island of Srilanka. The cabochon cut gems have fantastic clarity and superb schiller – The adularescence is what makes this blue moonstone so distinct from the myriad other moonstones that are generally more translucent – cloudy in appearance. There is also a watery appeal that identifies strongly with moon energies. Blue moonstone is the upratna for natural pearl and is the gemstone of planet Moon. Blue moonstone is known as chandrakant mani in Hindi.

The new lot of Blue moonstones comes after a long spell. Some of you may have even noted non-availability of a jyotish quality blue moonstone at www.gemstoneuniverse.com for a while. Please note that not every gem makes the cut as a jyotish gemstone and we at Gemstoneuniverse believe in giving you nothing but the most genuine and best jyotish gems. Every gem is handpicked and unless it meets the stringent criteria, it is invariably rejected.

This despite the fact that we carry thousands of Blue Sheen Moonstones in the Gemstoneuniverse Buying Division we rejected around 200 odd lots to get the Perfect Jyotish Quality Moonst0nes that will work exceptionally for Moon Energies. Some of the lots that we rejected were priced 3-4 times the price of indiviual fine gems made available to you dear patrons.

We would also like to use this post to inform our dear patrons that Natural Untreated Treatment Free Yellow Topaz the uparatana for Jupiter is also undergoing similar equations. We are trying our best but we cannot guarantee a set date when these will be available. What we can guarantee is that you will get a Top Quality Jyotish Gemstone at 1/6th of the price. If a Gemstone does not qualify to be a Jyotish Gemstone it shall not be listed at Gemstoneuniverse.com online inventory.

This new lot of gems is a result of assiduous search and patient waiting period.

Each gem of SHALEEN 2013

– Is natural and treatment free

– Is from Srilanka

– Is cut en cabochon

– Has a notable adularescence

– Has radiant lunar planetary energies

– Has great healing potential

– Is fantastic jyotish quality

– Comes at a time when Blue Moonstones are increasingly becoming difficult to procure

– Comes at a very attractive price point

So what are you waiting for? Get yourself one, before this lot also sells out.

Enjoy the lot in Video:

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.

Gemstone	Natural Blue Sapphire
Weight	4.02 carats

Origin	Srilanka

Patron Location	Bangalore,India
All inclusive Price	$ 2929.05 / INR 162562
Comments	Featured today is a 4C masterpiece. Let’s apply the knowledge we gained in the resource above to this exotic Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka. The rectangular cushion cut with a finely faceted pavilion is making the cut scintillating and ensures a maximum play of light. See how a good cut makes the electric lustre make a profound effect on the senses.

The Color is silky cornflower blue a much desired colored in Sapphires. Ravishing color that is making the Sapphire look royal. Notice the even spread of color throughout the crystal and that when combining with the cut described above is making it very special. The exceptional clarity is again adding value and the best part is it is 4+ carats. To get an unheated earth mined Sapphire at this weight is very rare.

This Blue Sapphire get a befitting setting in a silver ring with the sacred Saturn symbols and it gets further empowered with the sacred ash of Lord Saturn-Shani sealed in the tow tubes around the Blue Sapphire. A truly liberating and empowering Planetary Talisman par excellence.

The Gemstoneuniverse Value Addition:

This Particular Blue Sapphire was listed in October 2010 at Gemstoneuniverse but went to its owner in January 2013. Listed at a price of $685 per carat at the time of listing this will not be the sourcing cost today given its features and the 4C’s. As always, once a Gem is listed the price never gets changed at Gemstoneuniverse and we firmly believe that a Jyotish Gem chooses its owner rather than the other way around.

The Fascination in the world of Gemstones is never ending

The effects of a good lunch are quite evident- All Smiles! Guruji Shrii Arnav and the legendary Richard W Hughes the author of the classic “Ruby & Sapphire”

The journey of a Gem is fascinating. For most people it isâ€¦ Gem is mined, sent for cutting and polishing and then comes into the market for selling. Seems quite simple but not usually so!.

It might be just one of the cases but in many cases gem or rather gems travel through forests, mountains, passing through hands of militia or similar sounding creatures or statesmen â€¦intimidating and influential power centresâ€¦ depending on the way you look at it.

A gem may find itself in a night club or a worldâ€™s financial centre or an auction house or in a nondescript house in a village or the sanctum sanctorum of a temple! And in these travels the gem involves and interfaces with complex people, situations and characters. Gems have such a value and power that is capable of changing governments and power structures.

To get that elusive gemstone you might end up in the worldâ€™s hottest place, or one of the worldâ€™s coldest mountains, in a corporate boardroom, a seedy night club or a small tea stall in a village depending on your sense of adventure or the feverish obsession to obtain it. There are gems that are used as collateral’s to secure loans to execute large scale projects like building a national highway or a bridge. The fascination with whys, howâ€™s and wherefores in the gem business is never ending.

Blue Sapphire Diamond Ring from the Gemstoneuniverse signature collection

The real gem trade doesnâ€™t happen in 5 Star hotels or glittering stores. It happens in challenging geographical locations in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Africa, Colombia, Burma etc.

In the year 1998, I read a book that changed my life. That book was Ruby & Sapphire by Richard W Hughes. It had a huge impact on my life, and the way I started looking at gems changed radically. I was deeply influenced by the legend who had penned the book- Richard W Hughes. Â If you are a gem aficionado and aspire to be a real Gemmologist – Ruby & Sapphire is a must for you. Richard W Hughes is one such adventurer with a formidable knowledge backed by experience and thatâ€™s the reason he is an authority in this field and his opinion highly respected.

Ruby & Sapphire is a classic penned by Richard W Hughes

As I searched more about Richard and heard about his adventures I was deeply inspired and aspired to do something that is as game changing as his seminal work – Ruby & Sapphire. The sense of adventure heightened in me and I have traveled to such places and been in such situations in search of that elusive gem that no man even in his wildest dream would want to be in. In retrospect, I still wonder if it was a dream or reality!

Destiny and gems have strange and powerful effects. Â What has to transpire has already been scripted.

On the eve of Christmas in 2012, I was in a city to appraise one of the worldâ€™s most expensive and finest gems. (But of course, details are the absolute god in situations like these, and therefore the details of the gems and places remain undisclosed). After the appraisal was over, I sent over a text message to Richard asking if it would be possible to meet him for a chat. Since the answer was in affirmative, we ended up in a restaurant for lunch. As we enjoyed our lunch over general chit chat the subject of the gem that I had come to appraise and value came up and what followed made me think that this meeting was not just about lunch, or meeting a friend. Richard gave me some information that was exclusive to him about the said Gem and I gave him some information that was exclusive to me. Collectively together we now had information that by the end of the meeting had changed the appraisal value by 3000%.

Later in the day, upon solitary reflection, I gathered that the aim of every war is peace, quite an irony!

So now if you are really wearing a real gem you would appreciate that after mother nature made that glittering miracle over hundreds of millions of years,Â your gem might have a fascinating story behind it and must have affected and changed several lives before it chose to end up with you. So you are as special as your gem and now you shall shortly have a story of your own to tell.

Love your gemstone, understand the power behind Planetary Gemology and enjoy the blessings your Jyotish Gem bestows on you.

Love and Light

How to Harness Special Combinations in the Birth Chart using Planetary Gem Therapy

December 12, 2012 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

How to Harness Special Combinations in the Birth Chart using Planetary Gem Therapy

Blue Sapphire Diamond White Gold Ring with Unheated Ceylon Sapphire of 2.09 carats

Importance of Good Analysis, Good Gems and Good Therapy

The Science of Jyotish– The science of Light is very vast and profound. Even though the basic rules and tenets of the sacred texts are same, the application and insight differs from person to person. An astute analysis sometimes helps to identify certain special combinations in the charts which if leveraged correctly using Jyotish Gemstones can increase the positive effects manifold and also give the combination the potency to override many a limiting combination. What is essential is:

1) An Astute Analysis-For the sake of simplicity to you may equate it to a SWAT analysis.

2) Jyotish Gemstones– A class of special gems with unique characteristics.

Result oriented Gem therapy is heavily dependent on good astrology and real Jyotish Quality Gemstones. Even if one parameter gets compromised the result is not up to expectation.

It is a well known fact that the Saturn, Venus, Mercury combine in Vedic Astrology is a potent one. If these planets happen to be significant planets and make key aspects with each other the results are fantastic especially when their periods are in operation. And one should tap these combinations with good Gem therapy.

Featured today is a fine example of Good Jyotish Gem therapy and unique implementation of Gem Therapy. Blue Sapphire is the Gem of Saturn and Diamond is the Gem of Venus. Both these Gemstones set in a single ring become especially effective in such cases but not limited to:

– Saturn and Venus govern important and key houses in the chart and have ability to give gains.

– Saturn and Venus conjunction in one house.

– Saturn aspected by Venus.

– Venus aspected by Saturn.

– Saturn Major period and Venus sub period.

– Venus Major period and Saturn Sub period.

Blue Sapphire has the capacity of giving remarkable gains and Venus is of course the planet of beauty, love and luxury. Harness the sacred knowledge to bring in gains that are tangible, gains that are quantifiable.

Such planetary periods come once in a lifetime and bless us with an opportunity not to be missed. Gains made in such periods give us the strength and resources to overcome the limiting conditions of other malefic periods.

The same concept can be applied to other significant planets for wholesome results.

Emerald Stone Price per carat- Hierarchy of 4c’s in assessment of Emerald Price

November 30, 2012 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Emerald Stone Price per carat- Hierarchy of 4c’s in assessment of Emerald Price

Natural Colombian Emerald of 2.26 carats

Emerald Stone Price Per Carat, The classical approach adopted by Gemologists worldwide to estimate the approximate correct price of a Gemstone is called as the 4C methodology.

What is the 4C Methodology?

The 4C methodology was adopted by the GIA-Gemological Institute of America for gradation and assessment of correct value of Diamonds. However the same methodology can be used as a preliminary step in value assessment of colored Gemstones. The 4 C’s Stand for:

– Cut

– Color

– Clarity

– Carat Weight

Is the 4C methodology the full proof system of Value Assessment?

In a single word, the answer is No. Colored Gemstones value gets affected by Demand and supply and lack of enhancing treatment besides many other factors. But the 4C’s are a great tool as a fundamental starter.

Does the 4C hierarchy change in colored Gemstones?

The answer is a resounding yes. The world of colored gemstones is very vast as compared to Diamonds.

How does the 4C’s affect the Value of Emeralds, What is the 4C hierarchy in Emerald Value Estimation?

Here is the 4C hierarchy in estimating the value of emeralds:

1) Color- The most important C among the classical 4C’s in Emerald stone price estimation is Color. The most pleasing, vivid and attractive green the emerald is the more the price. Price shall go down if the Emerald Gemstone is very deep green or very light green.

Medium Deep Green and deep intense are the tones that attract the highest price. The Emerald’s basic color is defined by Hue. The highest price attracting hue is intense blue in addition to the foundation color of green. Color is the most vital C in the assessment of emerald price.

Have a Look at some of the Emerald rings already featured on the Gemstoneuniverse Blog over the years. Notice the color difference from a intense blue to a Yellowish hue.

Notice the 4Cs in Emeralds at play, color difference makes a difference in price

If you use the search box at the top right hand corner and just type in Emerald you shall get the pictures and the prices of several shipped out emeralds and you shall be in a position to understand how color is making a difference in the price and put the 4C information to good use.

2) Clarity- The 2^nd C that comes after color in emerald value assessment is Clarity. Emerald Gemstone is one of those gemstones that is always nearly included. These inclusions also referred to as Jardines are the birthmarks of the Gemstone indicating that it was created in the lap of Mother Nature and not in a lab.

Jardines are also referred to as Gardens or fissures. The fewer the inclusions, fractures, or Jardines the higher the price!. Inclusion free emeralds are virtually unheard of. A fairly large emerald crystal that is relatively free from inclusions can start from tens of thousands of dollars per carat provided it is not filled with resin to conceal fractures. However the use of Cedar wood oil is an acceptable treatment and it ensures the safety of the emerald besides enhancing clarity naturally and has been followed in the trade for hundreds of years.

3) Cut– The 3^rd C that comes after clarity is cut. A precise cut that pays attention to near perfect faceting to ensure maximum brilliance, scintillation and sparkle fetches a higher price. A good cut ensures that the surface is free from fissures ( read above).

A good cut ensures that the Emerald is symmetrical and ensures maximum play of light, this is vital for the promised astrological benefits. The most common and pleasing cut for an emerald is called as the rectangular step cut. It is so famous for emeralds that it is also called as an Emerald Cut.

4) Carat Weight- the 4^th C that comes after cut is carat weight. The higher the carat weight the higher the price provided the above 3 C’s are in place. This is not applicable to poor quality mineral rough at the bottom of the Gem Pyramid usually traded in volume markets where education of 4C/s is not widely available (See Picture below).

Poor Quality Mineral rough sold in volume based markets as Emerald where carat weight is priority. This is neither gem quality nor it can be used for Jyotish Purposes

The Gemstone Pyramid

Provided the Crystal excels on the above 3C’s and is a Gem Quality then it is safe to assume that the price moves in geometrical progression. For the sake of understanding if two emeralds have the same color, clarity, cut and the price of 1 carat emerald gemstone is $500, then the price of a 2 carat would be $1000 per carat.

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

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.
