How Many Gems Should You Wear for Planetary Gem Therapy?

Natural Untreated Amethyst and white sapphire ring

There are nine planets, 12 zodiac signs,Â 27 nakshatras combined with many more parameters that decide the course of an individualâ€™s life. If and when, an individual does decide to implement planetary gem therapy, the ideal way is to complete the therapy by wearing all suitable gems. A single gem may give benefits in quite a few areas of life, but a combination of favourable gems is able to render a more holistic experience as well as benefits from implementation of gem therapy.

For instance, planetary positions may sometimes restrict recommendation to a single gem. In certain exceptional cases a maximum of five different gems may suit an individual. In rare cases, gem therapy is not recommended at all. On the other hand a navratna may suit everyone but it requires tremendous good fortune to be able to own one.

One aspect to notice and pay attention to is that an individualâ€™s life is a sum total of parts and one talisman may not be a single point solution. Most of the significant events have a karmic bearing and they precipitate to impart important lessons. Suitable gems and their energies are be able to smoothen the ride with a dash of good fortune thrown in.

Many a times individuals are averse to wearing more than one ring or one talisman on their person. But where there is a will there is a creative way to harness the energy. Gemstones favourable to an individual can be combined into the same ring or pendant and the energies of more than one planets can be harnessed at the same time.

Guru and Ganesha – The Form of the Formless, Key to the Code

March 26, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Guru and Ganesha – The Form of the Formless, Key to the Code

16 petalled Natural Yellow Sapphire Chakra ring

The discipline of Vedic astrology has Lord Ganesha as its chief deity. Ganesha, the mystical elephant god, with the guileless form of a child, the complex symbolism that possibly holds the keys to unravelling life. The Cosmic Coder, who has scripted destinies and bestows the grace to read through the blueprint of life. The blueprint that is contained in the numbers and alphabets stringing themselves in a unique way for an individual in the triangles and quadrants of the birth chart.

The form of Ganesha is extremely symbolic. Among his features, the most notable is the huge elephant head resting on the portly body of a young boy. Ganesha has the head of the elephant (the vehicle of Jupiter), symbolizing extreme intelligence, wisdom and the ability to stay unperturbed by the obstacles. Ganeshaâ€™s head is also symbolic ofÂ the Pranava Om.

GANESHA courtesy Mokshasketches blogspot

Ganesha rules over the panch bhootas â€“ air, earth, water, ether and fire therefore his control over all life is absolute. The first offerings are therefore rightfully his. Ganesha is also known as Vighnaharta (the remover of obstacles). The divine powers of Jupiter symbolise the ability of charting oneâ€™s course with a level head despite difficulties.

All it takes is the keen observance of the habits and way of life of this gentle giant and one can take many life lessons, including method of keeping tremendous power, fearlessness and force nestled quietly and being able to carry it with quiet grace.

The story of Parvati (shakti) giving form to Ganesha and then him getting an elephant head after an enraged Shiva beheading him is not just a mythical tale.

It is also a cryptic code where Ganesha, the guardian of the mooladhara chakra (shakti in her rawest form), is annihilated by Shiva (crown chakra). The mooladhara can be harmonized when the impulsive energies of its guardian are internalized along with the wisdom, that is signified by the elephant head i.e Jupiter energies.

Mooladhara ChakraThat is when the Jupiter enables the rise of the Kundalini Shakti after the syncronization of chakras has been affected by imbibing of wisdom.

Aum and the Circle of Life-The Divine Chatur Ratna Pendant

Aum and the Circle of Life-The Divine Chatur Ratna Pendant

Circle of Life Om Pendant Talisman with Precious Gemstones

If there is existence, there is angst. If there is a pain body, there is pain. However, if the individual is rooted firmly, the journey of life becomes an enriching experience. The talisman featured today is a rich as well as powerful amalgamation of energies that can give an individual progress, protection, sense of security and confidence and keep one rooted in reality even while one plays in the world of Maya.

At the core of the talisman is the Pranava Aum, the primordial sound, the seed of creation, that force which embodies the powers of the trinity – Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh! It is really impossible to say enough about Aum or explain this master key to life â€“ a symbol that holds the secrets of existence.

Aum is the sonic absolute, the underlying rhythm that controls the play. When an individual is able to root oneself in this simple truth, and recognise the power encapsulated in this three-syllabled package, the universal energies lovingly embrace the being.

The Pranava Aum is surrounded by four gems that symbolise protection for the being from the keepers of the four cardinal directions. The four gems also symbolize the four purusharthas – aiming at centring the individual to fulfil the goals in this life. The four purusharthas or goals are – Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.

While dharma is the essential foundation of the attainment of other three goals, Artha and Kama are goals that help humankind and society on a larger level to flourish. It perpetuates the world. Moksha is ultimately the liberation of the soul from the bondage of Maya and the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

Dharma: Righteousness

Artha: Wealth

Kama: Desire

Moksha: Liberation

With the energies of the natural planetary gems and the cosmic forces, this talisman is a special one.

Understanding Lord Saturn – A Preliminary to Understanding Self

February 25, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Understanding Lord Saturn – A Preliminary to Understanding Self

Natural Unheated Ceylon Blue Sapphire

Among the navagrahas, Lord Shani or Saturn is probably the most feared and the most misunderstood. It is only natural for children to dislike the hour when a strict teacher takes a class and to revel with an easygoing jovial one! Just similar is the case with human beings and planets – while the planetary period or influence of a soft planet or a yogkaraka is enjoyable, the planetary period of karmic planets, especially like that of Saturn brings difficult lessons and relentless troubles.

Lord Saturn in Vedic astrology and among the planets is the grandmaster of karmic retribution. He is largely instrumental in balancing the karmic books of individuals. In the sacred texts, he is described as having emaciated and long physique, tawny eyes, windy in temperament, big teeth, is indolent and lame, and has coarse hair.

Shanidev

He is depicted usually with a sword, arrow, trident and riding a raven/ crow/ vulture. His imagery is dark and scary conveying his hard taskmaster, no-nonsense aura completely. While his dasha or period of influence can be very hard, good conduct, sincerity, forgiveness and a life of truth and ethics can bring much relief as these are the very virtues Shanidev tries to impart – to convert ignorance and pain into lasting wisdom!

One can also find much relief by wearing his gemstone – blue sapphire, if Saturn is placed favourably in the birth chart. There can also be decrease in intensity of pain by praying to Shiva who is his guru, by praying to Hanuman especially on Saturdays and by visiting the Shaneeshwara temple on Saturday evenings. Individuals can make a pilgrimage to the Thirunallar temple in Kumbhakonam, Tamil Nadu and seek the grace from Lord Shani, who is regarded to be in his benevolent form in this particular temple.

What is Katela – Amethyst and its Effectiveness in Alcohol Addiction

February 23, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

What is Katela – Amethyst and its Effectiveness in Alcohol Addiction

Natural Untreated Amethyst

The amethyst is one of the most alluring gemstones from the entire smorgasbord – be it the alluring color, the appeal or its versatility to sit beautifully in any piece of jewelry. The amethyst is a purple quartz that has an amazing range of saturation of color – from the light purple tones to the coveted purple with red flashes, when viewed in light, termed the deep Siberian purple.

The amethyst is also known as Katela in Hindi is an upratna for natural blue sapphire. Aside of harnessing the powers of planet Saturn or Shani as he is known, it is a gem known for helping heal dependency on alcohol. When used properly it ensures that the wearer instinctively does not feel the need to consume alcohol and even if one tries to indulge, one does not enjoy ultimately leading to freedom from alcohol. It is also a wonderful gemstone for fine tuning one’s meditative capacity and is excellent for fine tuning intuition. It makes the heart free from complexes, traumas and other psychological barriers.

Madagascar Iolite – A Gem Full of Wonder

Madagascar Iolite – A Gem Full of Wonder

Natural Madagascar Iolite of 2.27 carats Gemstoneuniverse

The iolite is a beautiful gem. This mineral which is also known as cordierite or dichroite, is a hydrated magnesium (iron) aluminium silicate. The mineral is marked by pleochroism or the phenomenon where the gemstone appears to be of different colors when viewed from different angles.

This gemstone is also known by the older trade names of the Vikings Gemstone, water sapphire and Lux sapphire. The iolite can display a beautiful velvety violet blue and at the same time show a watery clarity when rotated also displaying a range of color from honey yellow to deep blue. Just click on the video link below as you will be able to witness the phenomenon as the gem rotates in the frame!

The iolite is a hard gem with orthorhombic crystal structure, but the gemstone cleaves easily and reacts badly to pressure and heat. The iolite must be cut and polished with care and in the right direction to bring out the best display and intensity of color.

Known for its metaphysical properties, the iolite is a gem that is a regarded to be highly beneficial in restoring self-confidence through inspiring discipline and balance. It helps an individual to come out from a place of disorientation, purposelessness and lack of motivation. It can help individuals drop the feeling of being jinxed or affect by evil-eye and move forward without fear.

The 4C’s of Colored Gemstones & their application in choice of a perfect planetary Gem

Do Gems Work- No They Don’t for 90% of the People-Why?.

In Quest of India’s Best Gemstone Astrologer.

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.

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.

Gemstoneuniverse- The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

On a Personal Noteâ€¦..

January 13, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

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
