Brilliance, Fire And Lustre- Know How These Make Your Gemstones Special!

Lux Muzo Mine Emerald from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of fine Gemstones

What are brilliance, fire and lustre in a Gemstone and how these factors are assessed before buying a precious Gemstone? What determines price?

There is no doubt in the fact that while buying a gemstone we often look at the price. This is probably the only thing in the world, that if comes cheap, we will like to frown! Of course we will have various thoughts and doubts to fight.

Is this really a genuine one? Or is it really beautiful? Is it at all eyes pleasing? Well all in all, we are absolutely concerned about the beauty. And we know that buying a great looking gemstone can cost a fortune and we are ready to pay the same.

But then again what makes these gemstones look so great? The most basic things are no doubt the Brilliance, Lustre and finally the Fire!

Brilliance:

Well, brilliance is a completely easy concept to deal with. This refers to the amount of light that the gemstones will reflect. But then there is a catch here. It has to be from the back of the crown to the eyes.

Practically it is supposed to reflect the light from deep inside its core! This absolutely can prove one important thing. Only the most transparent gemstones will have the quality of brilliance in them as well.

There is no doubt that there are three most important factors that play a great role in the brilliance. These are namely the refractive index, the clarity levels as well as the cut of the particular gemstone for sure!

This is absolutely why the diamonds that have great refractive index is also always judged on its cut! It is absolutely necessary for you to understand that only perfectly cut diamonds are absolutely the most amazing ones.

Brilliance is directly proportional to the clarity of the Gem also. The higher the clarity, the higher the light movement and hence the higher the brilliance

Lustre:

This is again another of the most important factors of choosing a gemstone. When the light reflects from the surface of the gemstones, the surface becomes visible to the people. The type of surface that people see is due to the lustre of a particular gemstone!

There are actually various types of lustres that you must be aware of. The pearly lustre is one of the most amazing types of lustres. Of course when the surface reveals a beautiful and colourful surface then it is known as the pearly lustre.

The matter though is not quite simple! The colours should be able to play on the surface of the gemstones. These make these gemstones beautiful. The adamantine lustre is all about the mirror like feeling. For example the type of lustre that diamonds possess.

Silky lustre is though, another of the most beautiful lustres that you can watch. These provide people with a visual feel of the cloth textures! The silky velvet lustre is most often seen in Sri Lankan Blue Sapphires of high clarity.

Fire:

This is also known as dispersion. It is observed when a gemstone allows a light to pass through it and that too in different wavelengths. The inward glowing reflections most often referred to in fine Gemstones is an example of fire within the gemstone.

Diamond is one example of this phenomena.

The above three factors combine together to give what is called Life in a Gemstone

There are various other important characteristics of the gemstones. Selecting the gemstones based on these above-three factors matter a lot. These offer the people with the best results no doubt! And one will never regret buying a gemstone depending on these!

Nowadays around 90 percent of Sapphires are treated. Do treated Gemstones really work?

Fine Unheated Jyotish Sapphire from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of Fine Gemstones

This Question was first answered on Quora

You use the word, “Nowadays” and “Sapphires” in your question. You may be surprised or astounded to know depending on your perspective that Gemstones including Sapphires have been treated over 1000’s of years.

Just the nature and technique of treatment changes.

More than 95% of all Gemstones are treated and treated Gemstones have no place for used as Astrological Gems for harnessing planetary powers.

Gemstones are treated to enhance their appearance and to hide flaws so that they look beautiful and attractive.

There are several treatments for Gemstone enhancement. I am mentioning some of them. It’s quite possible that some of these can be applied individually and some in combination.

I am mentioning some of the most common treatments.

Those who have further interest in knowing their details can search with treatment name on Google. There are easily searchable and tonnes of information are available on the treatment type.

Heat Treatment

Diffusion

Glass filling

Dyeing

Bleaching

Radiation

Oil Treatment

Majority of Gemstones are treated and are mostly consumed for commercial grade Jewelry.

In Garuda Purana, Sri Sut Ji Goswami says in the Chapter 72, “The Blue Sapphire subjected to heat or burning to improve color and clarity should never be used by anyone as illness and misfortune will fall on that individual who uses a heated and a burned gem.”

For Higher Goals, Life solutions and Astrology there is no space for treated gemstones as clearly stated in the reference quote above.

It is better not to wear any gemstone rather than a treated gemstone to get a placebo effect or no effect.

Where can I get a Precious Gemstone at Whole Sale Price in India?

August 21, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Which are the wholesale markets for Purchase of Precious Gemstones?

Fine Flawless Unheated Sapphires from Srilanka from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of Fine Gemstones

This resource explores in detail the offline as well as online options to get a Precious Gemstone at Whole Sale Price in India

This question was first answered on Quora

As compared to regularly consumed commodities Gemstones are a different cup of tea for three reasons

Every single Gemstone has a different unique pipeline of movement.
Real Gemstones are precious, rare and durable.
Natural and untreated gemstones are very rare and difficult to obtain.

The question does not specify the gemstone required or quality or other specifications.

If you are looking for a range of commercially traded bottom of the gem pyramid samples to high end precious Gemstones or jewelry then Jaipur in India would be a good place to start.

In Jaipur there is the famous Johari Bazaar, Gopal Ji ka Rasta and Halidyon Ka Rasta that are very famous for Wholesale of Precious as well as semi precious Gemstones and Jewellery as well.

Jaipur, A city in Northwest India, is a major gems and Jewelry centre, known for the manufacture, processing and export of colored gemstones and Jewelry.

You will be amazed to know that about half of the world’s colored Gemstones are processed in Jaipur. The Total turnover stands at INR 6500 crore (around $955 million) as of August 2017

You could also try exploring the Special Zone for Gems and Jewelry at the Export Promotion Industrial Park at Sitapura.

Remember if you are looking for a wholesale price please be ready to order a wholesale quantity. A wholesale dealer is unlikely to entertain request for a single gem or small quantity unless the ticket size is fairly large.

If you are looking for Gem Quality goods depending on the Gemstone you can look at Gem trading markets such as Bangkok( Silom) and Chanthaburi in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Colombia, Mozambique. Locations will differ as per the Gem variety, quality and quantity you seek.

If you are looking to buy one singular gem at wholesale price which I am estimating you are (Based on the statistics we have on such communication since 1996) whether its commercially traded bottom of the pyramid quality or a real gem quality at wholesale price you can wait for subsequent answers on quora itself of commercial offers and solicitations by Astrologers and some websites and you can compare the information after going through the inputs given by me.

There are also commercial gem trading areas in every city and you can also visit them to get a feel of gem, quality and price.

If you want to be a professional Gem Trader then please do research on the topic” Gemstone Pipeline”- this is beyond the scope of this medium.

Invest in making your network, hone up your negotiation skills, keep your finances in order and ready and then get into the markets as specified above.

Precious Gemstone at Whole Sale Price from the comfort and privacy of your home?

If you are looking to buy a single precious Gemstone at wholesale price, I suggest you take a look at Gemstoneuniverse. The Gemstoneuniverse Blog and the portal has published prices for more than 3000 shipped out pieces for 10 years.

What is the approximate cost of 5 carats of Sri Lankan Neelam Stone?

August 7, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Fine Natural Unheated Blue Sapphires from the Gemstoneuniverse collection

Like copying and pasting stuff… Click here.

This question was first answered on Quora

Please refrain from asking these hypothetical unrealistic questions that generate responses that are lacking quality or substance.

Pricing of a Gem Quality Gemstone depends on several factors with the most basic ones being cut, colour, clarity and carat weight.

The most important factors that determine the approximate costs of a 5 carats or any carats neelam stone are the 4’c of cut, colour, clarity and carat weight

No two natural untreated Gemstones are similar so one should be responsible and not ask for a general price range like commonly available items like tomatoes (now got respect in India and trading at INR100/- per kilo in times of demonetization and GST) or apples.

Otherwise you need to be more specific in your question specifying colour, treatments, quality, cut, character, certification etc.

Gemstones like apples do not grow on trees and are rare, precious and durable.

Should all unmarried girls wear Yellow Sapphire? Is yellow Sapphire best stone for unmarried girls?

August 3, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Should all unmarried girls wear Yellow Sapphire? Is yellow Sapphire best stone for unmarried girls?

Flawless Kanakpushya Raga Ring from the Gemstoneuniverse collection of fine Jyotish Gemstones

This question was first answered on Quora

I do not think so, unless this question needs to be reframed.

Should all single girls wear Yellow Sapphire- No. It’s a matter of personal style and preference of what gemstone an individual male or female wants to wear. There is no cardinal rule that all unmarried girls should wear Yellow Sapphire only.

If the question was: Should Single girls looking forward to getting married wear Yellow Sapphire then to an extent the answer would be yes. I think this was the main emphasis of your question

Yellow Sapphire is the Gemstone of Brihaspati-Jupiter and this planet is the significator for Husband in a Females chart.

There is a general agreement amongst Astrologers as per Astrological principles that wearing a Yellow Sapphire removes the obstacles in marriage and blesses the individual with a good marriage.

There is a famous saying in North India that goes like,

‘ Kanya Ke Vivah main jab ho raha ho avrodh

Gyani Tab Karte hain, Peetmani par Shodh’

Loosely translated it means that when marriage of a girl is getting delayed then the wise ones contemplate on using a Yellow Sapphire.

What gives better result is a thorough analysis of the 7th house and the planets influencing it, marriage and interpersonal relationships.

So to summarize:

Should all unmarried girls wear Yellow Sapphire- No

Should single girls looking to get married wear Yellow Sapphire- Possibly yes, post analysis of the birth chart.

Does Yellow Sapphire bless with marriage to all girls- No.

The only exception to this rule is of Emerald since the most common treatment for lack of more accurate terminology in English is called as Oil Treatment.

Minor or moderate amount of oil treatment in majority of Emeralds is accepted as Emerald is most likely to damage because of its unique chemical composition.

However filling up an Emerald with Green oil, polymers or resin is again for enhancing appearance (Make it appear better and different than what it actually was pre-treatment) and that is unacceptable for Astrology purposes. Read more about it here.

Faceting Features and procedures such as cutting, polishing etc are not considered as treatments. They are just faceting features to bring the best of colour, cut and clarity in a Gemstone without using techniques or chemicals to enhance appearance.

Which gemstone is suitable for Kumbha Rashi?

June 22, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Which gemstone is suitable for Kumbha Rashi?

Sensational Blue Sapphire of 5 plus carats

People born under the sign of Aquarius or Kumbha Rashi have a Friendly countenance, good memory, Intelligent, capable of convincing people, kind, humane, possessed with good concentration and inventive.

They often turn out to be good leaders.

But quite often they are often stubborn, witty, unrealistic and sarcastic with the way they interact.

Attitude wise they are more economical and practical. Outspoken, impersonal, hard workers, having profound thoughts, open minded; they are blessed with creative and new ideas. Every Aquarian has their own individuality and uniqueness.

Wonderful as friends but they have stronger dislikes and likes, choosy and headstrong. Health and nature wise they are very fast at moving or completing jobs.

For Aquarius or Kumbha Rashi, the luckiest and supporting gemstone is Blue Sapphire. It should be set in Gold or Silver as per Saturn’s position in the horoscope. A Combination of Blue Sapphire and Emerald is also very good for Kumbh Rashi Natives

Wearing blue sapphire alone itself would make a tremendous change of the wearer. Natural gemstones are very powerful and can harness the impact of positivity. Blue Sapphire in principle is one of the strongest and the fasting acting gemstone amongst all Navaratna gemstones.

Wearing a blue sapphire after analyzing the horoscope would attain extensive powerful results depending upon the position of Saturn in the birth chart.

Blue sapphire invokes courageousness, creativity, wisdom, happiness, and understanding between relationships, marital bliss, and luck.

It overall helps to dispel the negativity bestowed by the adverse planetary transits, get rid of negatives thoughts, evil eye and improve finical crisis and help from common diseases.

When looking to purchase a Blue Sapphire for Astrological purposes, always focus on getting an unheated, natural and certified gemstone.

Gemstone Glossary You Should Know

June 3, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Gemstone Glossary You Should Know

A gemstone is usually created after being compressed in high pressure and high temperature conditions through millions of years.

There are different varieties of gemstones with each having its own characteristics and features. According to astrology, gemstones can help correct or rectify any type of issues or problems because of their stunning and mystic connection to one’s life.

Here is a basic list of Gemstones Glossary You Should Know before buying a gemstone for yourself or for your loved ones.

Gemstones can be embedded in rings, beads, necklaces, bracelets, and more. Due to its strong connection to astrology, it is said that a working knowledge of gemstones along with directions from the one who knows about gemstones is essential as the stones can wipe off any bad circumstances or adverse effects that the wearer might have been bearing.

Buying a Gemstone depends on your preference. Usually, a gemstone is analyzed in 4Cs that is carat, cut, clarity, and color. These 4Cs will help you buy a perfect gemstone for any jewelry.

Carat –

Although the price varies with respect to stone’s size, carat or weight of the stone is the big player which decides the price of the gemstone. The price of a gemstone of same characteristics but different Carat weight can vary to a great extent. Carat is a unit of weight for precious stones and pearls, equivalent to 200 milligrams

Clarity –

The quality of a gemstone depends on its clarity to a greater extent. Clarity is simply the presence or absence of inclusions that the stone may possess which affects its value and quality. The price of a gemstone is usually in proportion to the number of absence of inclusions and flaws. The lesser the inclusions and flaws the higher the Gemstone price.

Color –

There is an array of gemstones available which means that the stones can be found in any color. A gemstone dealer usually charges hefty with regards to its color. Color depends on a number of factors such as Tone, Saturation, and Hue. Tone represents the depth of color of the gemstone in relation to dark or light of hue. Saturation defines its intensity and Hue defines the shade or tint.

Cut –

A gemstone cut is usually referred as the cut made of the stone which can reflect light evenly. Cutting is a complex process which needs skilled hands for perfect saturation of light. There are a number of cuts such as Ideal Cut, Heart Cut, Brilliant Cut, Marquise Cut, Princess Cut, Emerald Cut, and more. Before selling the stones, polishing and lapidary are done to yield the perfect stone for any type of jewelry.

Other Terms and their definitions –

Composite Gemstones – This term defines that the gemstone is made up of several pieces.
Deep – The term defines that the gemstones have been cut too deep which in turns reduces its brilliance, however, it can maximize the weight. This practice is generally done in poor quality stones to satisfy the client and astrologer looking for junk 7.5 ratti stones.
Diameter – The distance between two points on the gemstone placed at the widest possible points.
Grading – Every gemstone receives a grade of its brilliance, weight, etc once it is polished and ready for sale.
Luster – The surface of the gemstones that reflects light is lustrous.
Matrix – The gemstones are formed within a host rock which is called as Matrix.
Mounting – Gemstones are embedded within various sorts of jewelry where mounting is the procedure when jewelry is made to hold gemstone.

What is Tarnishing and How to Get the Silver Shine Back on your Ring and Pendant?

May 17, 2017 by gemstoneuniverse

Hi, I need help. The Gemstone Pendant/ ring I ordered from you have turned Green/ Black. Are you using Pure Silver? What is the Cause of it?

Statue of Liberty Showing Tarnish

What is Tarnish/ Tarnishing?

Tarnish is a thin layer of corrosion that forms over copper, brass, silver, aluminium, magnesium and other similar metals as their outermost layer undergoes a chemical reaction.

It often appears as a dull, gray or black film or coating over metal. Only the top few layers of the metal react, and the layer of tarnish seals and protects the underlying layers from reacting.

Tarnish actually preserves the underlying metal in outdoor use, and in this form is called patina.

Cause of Tarnishing?

Sterling silver tarnishes because of the copper alloy, which when exposed to the elements, such as moisture and skin acids, will affect the copper turning it greenish. The Statue of Liberty is a good example( See Above)

999 Fine Silver will also tarnish over a period of time

Eventually all Sterling Silver Jewelry tarnishes over a period of time

Tarnish is a product of a chemical reaction between a metal and a non-metal compound, especially oxygen and sulphur dioxide.

It is usually a metal oxide, the product of oxidation. Sometimes it is a metal sulphide. The metal oxide sometimes reacts with water to make the hydroxide; and carbon dioxide to make the carbonate.

What Tarnishes More Pendant or ring?

The Pendants get more tarnished frequently as compared to finger rings as the finger ring comes in contact with soap solutions etc more frequently throughout the day due to the washing of hands its. The Soap solutions Keeps the finger ring relatively freer from tarnish as compared to a pendant.

Is there any metaphysical or spiritual reason for Tarnish?

There does not seem to be any significant data that establish a spiritual co-relations between tarnish etc however as per the statistical data available with us since rings or pendants set with Gem of Rahu( Hessonite), Gems of Saturn( Blue Sapphire, Iolite, Amethyst) and Gem of Ketu( Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl has shown be the rings/ pendants getting the fastest Tarnish.

Some Patrons report this process to akin of speedy removal of severe negative Karma associated with these tough malefic planets.

How to Remove the Tarnish and Get the Shine Back?

Tarnish On Left and Same Flask on right after cleaning with Baking Soda

The Good news is that tarnish removal in a ring or pendant is just a 5 minute process and you will set it to showroom shine levels in this time.

A simple and effective method is taking a toothbrush with soft bristles, moisten it with water, then dip it in baking soda, so it forms a paste. Gently scrub the sterling Jewelry with this mixture and rinse under warm water. Then pat dry with a lint free cloth/ Soft clean cloth. Your ring/ pendant is as good as new. You can also replace baking soda with White Toothpaste/ Powder with the same effect.

***Just be sure to avoid all stones with this mixture as the baking soda acts as a mild abrasive!!*** Just Apply and clean the silver part of the ring/ pendant and do not let baking soda get in touch with your precious gem.

You can also use the baking soda in its dry state and rub it between your fingers and the Jewelry, too.

Finally, a two sided rouge/Tripoli polishing cloth will do wonders and you can pick one of these up at any higher end Jewelry store or most of the e-commerce shopping websites.

We recommend the two-sided ones as you can polish the Jewelry, then lustre shine it with the rouge side of the cloth.

Less than 1% of Silver Items from Gemstoneuniverse Get tarnished but if they do the simple solution is above.

Till today no scientific process/ chemical has been invented that can claim 100% tarnish free silver.

Trust this helps you to keep your fine Gemstone Silver Jewellery As good as new and your focus exclusively on Gemstone Therapy rather than the Tarnish.

Which gemstones help to sleep?

Which gemstones help to sleep?

And

Is an Investment in a Natural Pearl worth it since it is to be changed In Less than 3 years?

Fine Natural Real Basra Pearl of 6+ carats

A quality sleep is must for us. A deep sleep is a powerful energy pack that drives us throughout the day and helps us complete important tasks.

It is during the sleep that the body gets repaired and rejuvenated and the mind gets the necessary and the optimum rest to perform to its best abilities the next day.

A Good sleep is also very important to ensure that our hormone chemistry is in balance and catabolic hormones such as the stress hormone cortisol are in check.

Cortisol

When released in excess this hormone is detrimental and lead to frequent diseases and fat gain.

The sleeping disorder occurs due to physical and mental problems that have to be consulted with a team of doctors and professionals.

Having Trouble Sleeping

The key reason for not having a good sleep is because of overstress or tension. When a person goes through these states it affects the heart and the heartbeat turns to act fast or irregular. It even drives stress hormone (cortisol).

From a spiritual and a metaphysical level it makes sense to get the birth chart/ Horoscope analyzed by a competent Vedic Astrologer who can check if you are undergoing typically challenging planetary periods that occur due to deeply incapacitating planetary positions and suggest accurate remedies for the same.

The Key lies in accurate diagnosis by an expert.

The obvious solution to calm it down the stress is love, compassion and acceptance.

Gemstones work by light and colour to have a profound impact on the mental, physical and emotional balance of an individual.

Gemstones have a profound Impact on the Chakras

They help to connect directly to the chakras in the Human System that brings about peace, better emotional balance and good health.

It has been proven over and over again from ages that good Jyotish Gemstones reduce cortisol and bring in solidarity to the brain and heart. Gemstones also have a terrific effect on the Biorhythms.

Which is Best Gemstone for Sleep and Peace?

Real Pearl also known as Saccha Moti is the best Gemstone for overcoming sleep disorders and brings peace and tranquility to the Individual.

The Planet that rules the Natural Pearl is the Moon and it represents the Mind. The Shastras Say

Chandrama Manso Jaatha- the Moon is the Significator of the Mind.

The Moon is luminous and influences human mind, watery ailments, heart & sleep. If the moon is strong in the horoscope of the individual it ensures a quality sleep and helps to overcome challenges faced with insomnia, mental illness, depression etc.

Another effective gem for good sleep is the Red Garnet precious stone. It blesses the individual with peace, health and good fortune. Carrying the Energy of the bright and resplendent Sun it banishes negative thoughts and fills the heart with hope and positivity.

Even the garnet carried in your wallet/hand it would make wonders.

Regularly wearing a garnet gem would enhance in expanding awareness of the world around you and helps to connect spiritually. It balances the Emotional Quotient and stimulates the entire chakra system.

Before wearing any Gemstone please note that it is very important that accurate cause for lack of depression or lack of sleep be diagnosed by studying the birth chart accurately.

Is an Investment in a Natural Pearl worth it since it is to be changed In Less than 3 years?

Every Gem has a period of Maximum Impact. This is the period when the Gem will powerfully deliver all the planetary energies to the Individual wearing it. In this period of Maximum Impact, the accurately recommended Gemstone with the right characteristics will deliver what is most required by the individual.

The Period of Maximum Impact is most for Diamond which is for 7 years. It means that the Diamond will be give maximum benefits to the individual for 7 years and should be changed post the period of Maximum impact.

The Period of Maximum impact is the least for Natural Pearl which is 2 years 2 months and 27 days. This is because the Moon is a fast moving planets and the results delivered by Natural Pearls are much more constant and frequent as compared to other Navaratna Gemstones.

The Same Gemstone given to another person after the period of Maximum Impact is over for one person will be active for that many days for the new individual wearing it.

A Real Natural Pearl is very rare and a Jyotish Quality Pearl is even rarer and that is what makes them very powerful and effective.

Rarity is directly proportional to price and that is why their price is prohibitive for most people.

Some Individuals considering the less period of Maximum Impact of the Natural Pearl and the high price question the validity of wearing the Natural Pearl.

It is basic human tendency that if one has paid a high value the Gem should deliver for a lifetime.

Since 1996 at Gemstoneuniverse we have observed one Tangible Thing- If the Gemstone is recommended accurately and if it’s a True Jyotish Gemstone then the Gemstone will recover the price paid for it many times over within 1 day to 1 year besides bringing many solutions to the individual. We have the statistics to back it up.

The Investment in a Natural Pearl is well worth it and the return on the investment is several times more than expected.

Do not let the period of Maximum Impact of the Natural Pearl deter you from experiencing the powerful energies of a Natural Pearl.

Even the smallest Jyotish Quality Natural Pearl will deliver bigger and better results than 100 times weight of a substitute Gemstone.

Comments	Featured Today is a Gorgeously beautiful, huge size and ultra rare Basra Pearl all of 6.28 carats. To understand the rarity, try to reflect on two pieces of Data: Formation of Natural Pearl in Nature is purely accidental-Sheer Serendipity and Less then 2% of all Pearls in the world are Natural. The probability of a natural Pearl forming in Nature is very miniscule. It is estimated that a Natural Pearl of 10+ carats maybe formed once ever 12-15 years. Imagine the size of the entire Oceans in the world and formation of a pearl that size once every 12-15 years. It is nothing short of a miracle. A Jyotish Quality Pearl free from flaws as described in the sacred texts is an even bigger rarity. Today, to get Flawless 6+ carats Natural Basra Pearl is a privilege and Blessing. The patron who is the proud owner of this exotic pearl today first engaged with Gemstoneuniverse services in 2003 when she first opted for smart gem therapy using two smaller pearls to make up the total weight of 1.27 carats. She had the same question in mind. If the Pearl shall stop giving me results after 2 years 2 months and 27 days would it be wise to put my money in this. Today after 14 years and 5 upgrades the almighty has blessed her with this beatific pearl. Globally acknowledged as a top management consultant she is advisor and on board of several Fortune 500 companies and today she does not any reservation on investing In Natural Pearls and Jyotish Gemstones. In fact we have to discourage her to buy because anytime new Pearls are uploaded in the Gemstoneuniverse Natural Pearl inventory she is always on the lookout for the best ones to keep for use in the future.
