The Talisman of Limitless Wealth and Supreme Victory- A magical alchemy, a sacred ritual and a flawless Cat’s Eye come together to make a once in a lifetime Talisman.

Cat's Eye Talisman of Limitless Wealth and Supreme Victory.Gemstoneuniverse Cat’s Eye Talisman of Limitless Wealth and Supreme Victory.Gemstoneuniverse

 

Cat’s Eye also known as Lehsunia and Vaiduryam is a very powerful gemstone. In fact it is equally powerful in its effects as a Blue Sapphire.

 

Among many other benefits Cat’s Eye brings back Nasht Lakshmi-Lost wealth and restores former glory and reputation.

 

It is a well known fact that the most powerful people the word over keep cat’s Eye in their vault. It is a gemstone of adventure and unexpected results. It protects earned wealth and generates new avenues for wealth. It is the single gemstone that has the capacity to make an individual a winner both materially and spiritually.

 

It is this precise reason that it is a favourite Gemstone for Gamblers and those involved in speculative fields! This is also the Gemstone for those who dare to think out of the box, do something new, blaze a new trail, and invent a new path. No wonder, Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl was also the favourite Gem of the explorers of the Yore.

This particular Talisman is known as the Cat’s Eye Talisman of Limitless wealth and ultimate Victory. Even though the unique properties of the Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl are well known this talisman finds mention in several ancient cultures.

This is also one of the strongest Gemstones in addition to the Blue Sapphire and gives very fast and instant results. Ruled by the mystical energy of Spiritual Ketu which is also called as Dervish/ Darvesh – from Persian origin درویش,- meaning an individual who is on the path of God realization-Ketu is also a karmik planet whose ultimate goal is to make a person overcome karmik imbalances and lead ultimately to God realization and moksha-Salvation.

The Sacred Yantra of Lord Ketu is a dhwaja Yantra/Flag Shaped Yantra which is the flag of victory, of truth, of courage and honesty.

Created at the special request of a Gemstoneuniverse patron since 2003 whose who literally rose like a proverbial phoenix from his problems to resurrect his empire, former glory, reputation with relentless hard work, devotion and of course some help of Gem therapy using flawless Gemstones.

This Talisman brings in limitless wealth to its owner, brings back Nasht Lakshmi( Lost wealth) and ensures victory. The sacred alchemy remains within the domain of only a selected few.

Below are some actual pictures of the talisman that give a brief idea of the alchemy and the process:

Chakra Therapy with Natural Gemstones “Balance the Energy Centres of the Body for an optimized living!

by 1 Comment

Chakra Therapy with Natural Gemstones Balance the Energy Centres of the Body for an optimized  and Joyful living!

Pictorial Representation of the Chakras/Energy Centers in the Human Body

 

 

The healing powers and mystique of Gemstones have enchanted mankind since centuries. Ancient Vedic scriptures talk about gems and their healing properties. Ayurveda, which is the traditional Indian medicine, extensively mentions of medicinal preparations using natural Gemstones. Praval Pishti ( Made from Red Coral), Vajra Bhasma( Made from Diamond) and Muktha Pishti ( Made from Natural Pearl) are  some of the well known examples.

What are the Chakras/ Energy Centres?

According to traditional Indian medicine, the human body is made up of 7 primary chakras. Chakra basically means wheel, and chakras are believed to contain the life force energy and considered to be the Prana in the human body. Chakras are energy centres located along the spine of the human body, starting from the base of the spine and going to the crown of the head.

An Introduction to the Primary 7 chakras and the Gemstones of Each Chakra:

 

Muladhara Chakra

1)The MULDHARA chakra or Base chakra, which is located at the Perineum/Prostrate and associated with the testes/ovaries. This is also called the Root chakra, and if the root is weak, the tree will also be weak. This chakra controls the whole physical body. The cosmic colour is Red.

Natural Ruby Ruled by Sun can Balance the Muladhara Chakra

6)The AJNA chakra or brow chakra, which is linked to the Pineal gland/Third eye area. This Ajna means command. It is also the point where Shiva and Shakti become one. The cosmic colour is Indigo.

Diamond also known as Vajra aids in the healing of the Ajna Chakra

The emotion that interrupts the flow of energy through this chakra is illusion or Maya. And one of the gemstones that help to clear the blockages of this chakra is a Natural Diamond/White Sapphire, the gem of the planet of beauty and luxury Venus.

7) The SAHASRARA chakra or the Crown chakra, associated with the Pituitary gland/Top of the head area. This is the chakra where the Kundalini is united with the cosmic energy. The cosmic colour is Violet.

The emotion that blocks this union is attachment, and one of the gemstones that help to remove these blockages is Natural Blue Sapphire, the gem of the Karmic planet Saturn.

No wonder that Blue Sapphire/Neelam with its powerful energy is used to balance the crown chakra

Even though nodes, Rahu and Ketu are not considered planets, they are still seen as the representation of the Ultra Violet and Infrared rays.

The gemstone of Rahu is Natural Hessonite and of Ketu is Natural Cat’s Eye.

Natural Hessonite-The Gem of Rahu

Natural Cat's Eye-The Gem of Ketu

It is not just a coincidence that there are not only 7 primary chakras and 7 basic colours, but also 7 basic planets according to Vedic astrology and traditional Indian medicine!

The KURMA PURANA states that the seven planets are to be seen as condensations of the seven cosmic rays. And the greatest condensation of the cosmic rays is in gems.

Each planet is also represented by a cosmic colour, as each planet represents a chakra, and the gemstone corresponding to the respective planet is believed to stimulate the corresponding chakra by harnessing the corresponding cosmic colour! How fascinating is the world of ancient Vedic wisdom!

CHAKRA
SUN RED MULDHARA
MOON ORANGE SWADHISTHANA
MARS YELLOW MANIPURA
MERCURY GREEN ANAHATA
JUPITER BLUE VISHUDDA
VENUS INDIGO AJNA
SATURN VIOLET SAHASRARA

The Vedic horoscope is also an indication as to which planet and chakra of an individual has to and can be stimulated and balanced by gem therapy for the optimization of the mind, body and soul. And in the hands of a competent Astro  gemmologist, this can work wonders in a persons life and can help in optimizing materialistic, emotional and spiritual desires!

One should be cautious, sure and responsible while implementing Gem Therapy. Just as Gems can balance the Chakras and lead to harmony similarly wearing incorrect gemstones with incorrect weights can cause imbalance and disturbance.

What is a Jyotish Gemstone and why any stone is not a Gemstone and any Gemstone is not a Jyotish Gem.

by 1 Comment

What is a Jyotish Gemstone and why any stone is not a Gemstone and any Gemstone is not a Jyotish Gem.

Flawless Unheated Burma Ruby for Harnessing Sun Energy-a Jyotish Gem-Gemstoneuniverse.com

 

 

What is a Jyotish gemstone?

 

In Simple terms a Jyotish Gem is a Gem recommended on basis of sacred Astrological principles of Jyotisha to bring in dawn of fame and fortune and accomplishment of desires. But not every Gem is a Jyotish Gemstone.

A  Gemstone is a  Jyotish Gem only when it excels on all 4C’s-the cut, color, clarity and carat weight and the crystal is of exceptional lustre with a color so fine and closest to its true spectral color that it looks outstanding. Only an untreated Gem like that qualifies to be a Jyotish Gemstone and has the capacity to bring about promised results.

To understand what Jyotish Gemstones are, we must first understand the meaning of Jyotish. Jyotish is usually understood as Astrology, which to a certain extent is true, but the work JYOTISH is derived from two words, JYOT meaning light and ISH, meaning God, together meaning light of God. Jyotish is the science of light.

We know that everything in this universe is composed of cosmic rays, which are visible through a prism as the 7 basic colour or VIBGYOR. Gem therapy uses these cosmic rays, which represent different planetary energies to get positive results and to derive maximum benefits.

Quotes in Sacred texts regarding Jyotish Gemstones

 

 

“Inward glowing lustre, transparency, illumination with rays, sparkle, free from impurities and good formation of the shape are the characteristics of good gems” -(Agni Purana, 246.13-14).

“If anyone wears a gem of many flaws even out of ignorance, then grief, anxiety, sickness, death, loss of wealth and other evils will torment him” -(Garuda Purana, 70.19)

Gems have intrigued mankind since time immemorial. From the ancient times gem have been used to not as priced possessions of the rich and the royals but also to enhance the quality of life. Due to the rarity of pure gems today, a lot of new techniques are being developed each day to enhance the beauty of gems that are flawed, which are the accepted norm for jewelry purposes, but renders the gem useless for Jyotish purpose.

Any treatment of any kind to the gem takes away its Sattvik nature. Sattvik means pure and any treatment to enhance the beauty of gems are not acceptable for Jyotish use.

Sattvik Jyotish Gems harness Cosmic Rays Sattvik Jyotish Gems harness Cosmic Rays

The five Basic Characteristics of a Jyotish Gemstone:

 

To get the best results from Gem therapy, gemstones must fulfil the following basic principles, without which a gem cannot qualify as a Jyotish gemstone.

1)      A Jyotish Gem is NATURAL: All gemstones must and should be 100% natural and untreated. The gem should not have undergone any treatment so as to enhance its colour or clarity or beauty. Any treatment renders even the most beautiful gem useless for Jyotish purpose.

2) A Jyotish Gem has fine COLOUR: All gems come with different shades of the same colour, depending on the origin. For example Emeralds from Colombia are usually a spring green colour, but Zambian Emerald are more of a vivid green, but whatever the shade of the colour, the purity of the original colour with only the slightest of hues of other colours are the best gems!

 

Zambian Emerald-Jyotish Quality Emerald having the true spectral Green color.

3) Jyotish Gem has exceptional CLARITY: Actually this is self-explanatory. But, as mentioned earlier, Jyotish or the Science of Light works with the cosmic rays, and for the cosmic rays to pass through clarity is very important in a Jyotish gemstone. Having said that, natural fine inclusions are the fingerprints of nature that prove the gemstone was created in a the lap of nature and not in a lab, and are generally acceptable, but any crystal Gemstone below 85% clarity level is not a Jyotish Gemstone.

4) A Jyotish Gemstone has a pleasing CUT: Again, the cut of the gemstone should be such that it allows for the maximum play of light and allows for maximum absorption of the cosmic rays and have positive effects. The shape of the gem is not as important as the precision cut of the gem.

SAPPHIRES IN DIFFERENT CUTS!

3)      CARAT: Some astrologers have given undue importance to the weight of the Jyotish gemstones. The knowledge of correct Gemstone weight is available only to a blessed few. Recommendation just on basis of body weight such as 1 carat per 10 Kg’s of body weight is a myth and not described in any sacred text. If we go by this technique than a 90 Kg’s man will require a 9 carat Diamond or a 9 carat Ruby. The root of this method is Greed driven by a desire to push non gem grade and low gem grade material as Gemstones.

Even a 1 – 2 carat gemstone, satisfying the above 4 aspects will give positive and good results. Generally gemstones above 2 carats satisfying the above conditions will give the best results.

A SUPERFINE EMERALD OF 1.12 CARATS!

Apart from these facts, there is the most important aspect of choosing a gemstone. That is the aura and draw of the gem. While choosing a gemstone anybody and everybody are bound to feel attracted to a particular gem more than the other.

The gem that satisfies the 5 basic principles of Jyotish quality and the gem that appeals and draws you the most is the gem for you!

So for the best implementation of gem therapy follow the above stated factors and get ready to experience the miracles of gems!

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Help! My Astrologer says that my Emerald has become white because it has prevented big accident yoga and the Jeweller says that the Emerald has soaked up all my negativity-The Gemstone Pyramid and the truth about Indian Taste Ka Ghatiya Maal- Things we don’t like and you shouldn’t either.

Help! My Astrologer says that my Emerald has become white because it has prevented big accident yoga and the Jeweller says that the Emerald has soaked up all my negativity-The Gemstone Pyramid and the truth about Indian Taste Ka Ghatiya Maal- Things we don’t like and you shouldn’t either.

BUYER BEWARE!-Scam Alert!

In our day to day practice we meet several individuals, who make statements similar to the one above. An interesting case happened last week wherein one customer said that that his Emerald has become white after one year of usage. When he reported it to his Astrologer the latter said that the Gem has prevented big accident yoga and made you safe. He next went to the Jeweller who had been recommended by his Astrologer. The Jeweller said that this was nothing new for him and he has seen several cases where a good gemstone had soaked up all negativity from the body!

Well, it is an outright scam and this particular nexus of the Astrologer and the Jeweller is at best an UNHOLY ALLIANCE. Time to change both!

Let us begin with telling you about the global perception. A shocking and demeaning statement was made by a Gemstone intermediary in Bangkok that opened our eyes. Now, this gentleman has been trading and acting like an intermediary (taking Gemstone parcels) from one office to another and has no gemological knowledge. Nada. None, except that he takes a parcel from one dealer at $X and sells to another at $X+10%. At an International Gem and Jewellery show he approached one of the team members and said that he had top quality Emeralds.

Well, the next logical step was to ask him to show his goods. The parcel he opened was of a non gem grade beryl rough heavily treated with Joban-Color dyed oil (more about this later). Showing them and with a big grin says: “Only $1(INR 45) per carat emerald for 1000 carats, Top Quality Indian Taste Ka Ghatiya Maal “ (Literally translated: specific material for Indian Taste consumer/ jeweller who seeks out the cheapest low non gem grade material, and this stuff ranks highest in that category).

Our response made him disappear in less than 30 seconds but the revelation about the Indian Jewelers  taste and the sweeping Generalization about the consumer preference spoilt our entire day.

A Glorious Past

This is the country that has given the world most prized gemstones in the world and Indians have had taste for the best gemstones throughout the ages.  There was a time when in India Diamonds below the weight of 3 carats were not even valued and traded for they had no time. They were occupied in grading and trading of Diamonds above 3 carats! -this is a historical fact. Do read Tavernier’s travels in India and you will know about the glorious Gem culture of this great country.

Reality Dawns

The above low- cost non-gem grade material is bought by unethical jewellers at $5( INR 225) per carat and then retailed to consumers  who have been recommended to wear a 5 carat emerald by the Astrologer at a price point of $22-$44 per carat( INR 1000-INR 2000) per carat. No wonder people are seen wearing a 5 carat Emerald for a net price of $110/-. Removal of accident and negativity is of course free! The mathematics of sourcing gems at cost $1 and selling at a price of $ 44 – Whoa! this is too cool a business!

Industry statistics reveal that India is the largest market for non- gem grade, low-grade gem material and most of the scrap is imported into India. Please see the Gemstone pyramid (Highlighted area makes up the majority of Indian market). Most of the discarded goods reach India.

Jyotish quality Gemstones would be top grade or high grade, not lesser.

How the Emerald/Yellow Sapphire becomes white.

Non Gem Grade Beryl-Bogus Emerald treated with Joban Oil Non Gem Grade Beryl-Bogus Emerald treated with Joban Oil

Non Gem Grade Beryl sold as Natural emerald and became white after a use of an Year

The stone in the picture above is not a gemstone. It is Non-Gem Grade beryl that has been treated with Joban.  Joban is green colored oil– Oil that has been made green by adding a plant based dye. This is the most common treatment of choice in commercial grade goods coming from India and sold in India.

Leave alone Jyotish even in the Gem Trade it is considered as an UNETHICAL treatment. The green oil seeps into the white non gem grade ore to make it look like a beautiful Emerald. Eventually with normal usage the oil dissipates leaving what the mineral actually is. When the consumer is perplexed by the change in the stone,  he is taken for another ride by the Astrologer who hands him out a candy by saying the color evaporated and has saved you from a major accident and by the jeweller who says that it has absorbed all negativity and that’s why it has become white.  Producers of these goods justify Joban Treatment by saying; It is just like the make-up your wife puts on. (A demeaning statement that could spell trouble eitherway!)

Any reputed Gem Lab will identify this treatment and make an entry in the report as Code: T-Joban

Outright Fraud!

Low Grade Yellow Sapphire color enhanced by Dyeing and Irradiation with Cobalt60 Low Grade Yellow Sapphire color enhanced by Dyeing and Irradiation with Cobalt60

Low grade Yellow Sapphire that became white in 3 months.

Again, the above is a stone- but not a gemstone. It is a low grade yellow sapphire from Sri Lanka that combines two treatments. One is dyeing with material that has got the same Refractive Index as the mineral and second by irradiation with Cobalt 60. Just exposure to strong sunlight will make the color leave the gemstone leaving what you are seeing-Scrap!

Yes, there are Gemstones that are sensitive to light (Light Sensitive Gemstones) such as one member of the Quartz Family-Amethyst. A natural Amethyst may show fading of color when exposed to strong Sunlight but the above two samples are outright frauds.

India-The sacred Land of the Navaratnas!

India is the land that has given this world the sacred and powerful science of Navaratnas and their profound impact on Human life. Yes there are miracle cases where a Blue Sapphire becomes cracked by preventing a real time accident and saving a life but none of the sacred Navaratnas/ sacred nine gemstones- Ruby, Natural Pearl, Red Coral, Emerald, Yellow Sapphire, Diamond/ White Sapphire, Blue Sapphire, Hessonite and Cat’s Eye change color or become white if they are natural, untreated and Jyotish Quality!

Never ever wear a poor quality Gemstone. The Sacred Garuda Purana says:

If an individual wears a Gemstone that has many flaws even out of ignorance then he will be tormented by grief, loss of wealth, anxiety, illness and evils of many Kinds.

-Garuda Purana (70.9)

Next time if somebody tells you that your Emerald has become white because it has prevented a big accident yoga and the Jeweller says that the Emerald has soaked up all the negativity-YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

BIRTHSTONES BY MONTH – A FARCE DRIVEN BY COMMERCE

by 2 Comments

Birthstones-a farce driven by commerce and 155.52 trillion years old Sacred Indian Gemology!

The Sacred Gems are described in details in the Puranas. Gemstoneuniverse.com The Sacred Gems are described in details in the Puranas. Gemstoneuniverse.comThe system of suggesting birthstones by month is a fictitious system, which has no base in Astrology or any sacred text and is purely driven by commerce. Time and again, I come across various lists that have no basis and appear quite arbitrary in nature. There was a list of the ancients that got changed during medieval times and that further got modified as late as 1912.

Unanimity for Gemstone powers

If you are a lover of metaphysics or Gemstone folklore you will come across various such lists. Romans had one, so did the Greeks. Each civilization has been enamoured by the beauty and powers of Gemstones and have valued them. Wars have been fought over Gem treasures. Gems have been used for medicinal purposes, healing, enchantment, witchcraft and what not. Gems have been used against protection from evil eye and also to ensure safety during travel. There has been unanimity among all civilizations regarding the power of Gemstones.

The fictitious System of Birthstones by month

A historical fact and the astrological explanation of why this system is pointless – The System of recommendations of Birthstones by month has no basis in Astrology or its tenets. Even a layman is aware that the Zodiac sign changes somewhere around the 22nd day of each month. Hence, if a person is born on the 23rd he/ she will have a different sign but still have the same birthstone. There is no logic to this system. This system can, in turn have very serious consequences for individuals who choose to follow it.

It is interesting to note that the American National Retail Jewelers on August 12th,1912 issued a new list of birthstones by month based on data collected by various members of the Association and replaced some of the classical birthstones in the old system with new gemstones that were more commercially viable. In the year 1952, a variation of this list was adopted by the ANRJA-American National retail Jewelers Association and the American Gem Society. This list is given in a tabular form below:

Month Birthstone By Month
January Garnet
February Amethyst
March Bloodstone/ Aquamarine
April Diamond
May Emerald
June Pearl/ Moonstone
July Ruby
August Sardonyx/ Peridot
September Sapphire( Doesn’t mention Blue/Yellow)
October Opal/ Pink Tourmaline
November Topaz/ Citrine
December Turquoise/Zircon

 

A simple example that highlights commercial motives for furtherance of such fabrications:

The Gorgeous Opal became a Victim of Greed and was branded as a ill Omen Stone!

 

Opals and Bad luck

The birthstone for October as per the table given above is Opal, a gem that has a strange history. The name opal derives from the Sanskrit upala via the Greek opallios. Pliny, the Elder, called precious opal opallus or “precious stone”. There is mention of Upalmani is many sacred Indian Texts.

How did Opal get a bad name and still end up in the birthstone list? The ancients believed that Opal was a Gemstone of beauty, success and health having the capacity to confer divine powers of invisibility. Opals were much valued and respected and gained tremendous popularity and in the process became expensive too.

There is a well known story about how a Turkish Monarch who had tremendous love for Opals and Opal jewellery, concocted a fib about how Opals bought bad luck and death and these rumours spread like wildfire. In this process, he was able to secure all good quality Opals at a very cheap price – the consumers did not want to preserve a bad luck gemstone and the suppliers did not have any consumers to buy a gemstone that brought bad luck.

The reputation of Opal further got hit following the publication of Sir Walter Scott’s novel Anne of Geierstein in 1829. In Scott’s novel, the Baroness of Arnheim wears an opal talisman with supernatural powers. When a drop of holy water falls on the talisman, the opal turns into a colorless stone and the Baroness dies soon thereafter. The novel was a hit and in this process Opal became a flop.

However sustained marketing and beautiful aura of this Gemstone helped it became commercially viable again and no wonder it suddenly found itself in the birthstone list as the gem of October.

The divine Navratnas and the Indian Sacred Gemology

Gemstones and their mystical powers are clearly documented in the Puranas. Gems and Astrology find mention in the Agni Purana which is made of 15400 verses and the Garuda Purana which has 19000 verses.

The Divine Pearls have been described in the sacred Garuda Purana. Gemstoneuniverse.com The Divine Pearls have been described in the sacred Garuda Purana. Gemstoneuniverse.comThe Garuda Purana is considered the authoritative Vedic reference volume describing the Nine Pearls, which includes not only the well known Oyster Pearl, but also the Conch Pearl, Cobra Pearl, Boar Pearl, Elephant Pearl, Bamboo Pearl, Whale Pearl, Fish Pearl, and Cloud Pearl. Garuda Purana speaks about how these divine pearls are obtained and the results of each.

How old is this system

The following verse of Bhagwatam sheds light on this:

Bhagwatam Verse

 

 

“Brahma is the source of the eternal scriptures, Rigved, Yajurved, Samved, Atharvaved and also the Puranas which are like the fifth Ved.”

He created them at the very beginning of the creation of the world which was 155.52 trillion years ago.

Lord Brahma-The Creator in the holy trinity

 

Bhagwan Ved Vyas reproduced all of them before 3102 BC

The Indian system of Nakshatras and Gems are eternal like Brahma Himself and when implemented properly bring in divine grace and solutions.

The Sacred Nine Gemstones/ Navratnas as per the Indian System

Gemstone Ruling Planet
Ruby Sun
Natural Pearl Moon
Emerald Mercury
Yellow Sapphire Jupiter
Blue Sapphire Saturn
Diamond Venus
Red Coral Mars
Hessonite Rahu
Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl Ketu

This list has remained unmodified since 155.52 trillion years and these Navratnas have divine powers as documented by the Puranas and as seen in day to day life even today. Commerce, business, laws of demand and supply and even greed of man have not been able to modify this list. Commerce and business does affect the quality of Gemstones though!

If reason is what drives you, you now know where to look!

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!
