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

Natural Chinese Peridot

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

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

Peridot Uses

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

Gift a Peridot

It is considered a favourable gift for 16^th 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

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.

Peridot treatments

Peridots are usually not subjected to any treatments.

Peridot – Color

Peridot is one of the loveliest green colored gems. It’s color ranges from pale to rich shades of luscious apple green to rich olivine green. It is an idiochromatic gem that gets its color from iron element in it. The gem has strong birefringence and therefore can exhibit a sleepy appearance.

What is Kashmir Blue Sapphire?

May 17, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

What is Kashmir Blue Sapphire?

The star of Kashmir

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 ring

Take a look at this splendid ring that was auctioned at the Christies Magnificent Jewels event held at Geneva recently. The Star of Kashmir– a 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.”

Significance of Akshaya Tritiya – Importance of Akshaya Tritiya

May 13, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Fortune With Natural Yellow Sapphire on Akshaya Tritiya

Greetings on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya – 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 – 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.

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

7. Thailand (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 C’s

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-à-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.
