Comments	The color blue has had special significance across cultures. It is the color that signifies the heavens. However the symbolism of blue extends much beyond and there are varied interpretations.

Featured today is an exceptional gem â€“ a fully natural unheated and treatment free Ceylon Blue sapphire of 3.37 carats set in sterling silver as a Saturn Talisman ring. The Premium rectangular cushion cut Blue sapphire from Sri Lanka, has a gorgeous Sky blue color with violet overtones. It is a gem with superb clarity and has a mesmerizing, electric lustre.

A jyotish gemstone par class, the blue sapphire is flawless and has the powerful energies. According to Vedic Astrology or the ancient science of jyotish, the gemstone Blue sapphire also known as the Neelam stone, is dear to Lord Saturn / Shani Mahatma and is a repository of his divine saatvik energies. A duly energized and consecrated talisman made with a blue sapphire can beget an individual the benefits and blessings from Lord Saturn.

Natural Blue Sapphires from Ceylon are regarded as the best for jyotish purposes. And not just that, the blue sapphire from Sri Lanka is valued more than blue sapphires from other origins like Australia or Montana in the US.

The gems from the latter origins generally lack the clarity as well as lustre, which is very characteristic of the Ceylon Sapphire. It is for this very reason, that these latter sapphires are invariably treated gems (redundant for planetary gem therapy) – subjected to different treatments to enhance the appearance and fetch better value!

In Vedic astrology, natural blue sapphire/ neelam gemstone is the gem of Lord Saturn/ Shanidev. It is a powerhouse of intense energy and can be used in a talisman to harness the saatvik energies of this karmic planet.

Among colored gemstones, the â€˜colorâ€™ of the gem determines its value in a big way. And if â€˜colorâ€™ comes complimented by the fact that the gem is â€˜treatment free and naturalâ€™ and/or has good clarity, the price will go up by geometric progression.

Tablets of Testimony

Interestingly, in the Hebrew tradition it is believed that the Ten Commandments were given to Moses on tablets made of Blue sapphire. The blue sapphire tablets or the Tablets of Testimony symbolised the heavens and purity. It is widely believed that the commandments were not just written but bored into the sapphire tablets by the “finger of God”.

Comments	How interesting would it get for you to be told that the first blue sapphire was perhaps worn by the immortal Titan Prometheus? Well, interesting and intriguing it is for most mythological details fall in place!

Before we explore the Prometheus connection, have a look at the amazing natural unheated Ceylon blue sapphire featured today. An oval cut gem of 3.12 carats with fascinating silky cornflower blue Â color set in sterling silver as a Saturn talisman ring. The gemstone has excellent clarity and electric lustre.

Blue sapphire or neelam gemstone is a powerful gem that hosts the transformative planetary energies of Lord Saturn/ Shanidev. While There is no doubt that blue sapphire has intense stirring energy, one must also not be too taken in by the myriad stories/ myths that have been made up about the gem. The only two factors one must keep in mind are –
A) whether the gem is natural, treatment free and also free from the doshas listed in the sacred texts to watch against in a gemstone to be deemed fit as a jyotish gem.
B) whether you have got a proper gem recommendation.

Going back to Prometheus, he is regarded to be the first one to wear a blue sapphire – Prometheus (his name literally translates to one with foresight – he was able to predict future) in Greek mythology is known as the creator of human beings/ mortals. When he saw the mortals unable to deal with vagaries of nature, he asked the gods to lend them fire; a request that was turned down immediately.

Prometheus then decided and stole fire from the gods and gave it to the mortals. Zeus, upon watching the blazing fire pits of mortals, decided to give exemplary punishment to immortal Prometheus. He had him chained to a rock and ordered a giant eagle (symbol of Zeus) to eat away at his liver. The torment would continue day after day for eons as Prometheus’ liver would regenerate each night!

Prometheus chained to a rock

Depiction of Hercules a.k.a Heracles rescuing Prometheus

A twist in the tale led to Hercules rescuing Prometheus. His chain was severed from the rock but a link remained around his finger and attached to that link was a piece of rock – the alleged first blue sapphire! Zeus agreed to pardon and release him, upon the condition that Prometheus would wear that link forever!

Comments	The Fine Ceylon Blue Sapphire is a perfect example of the most essential qualities of a Jyotish Gemstone.

“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).

In Todayâ€™s world of modern Gemology when the expert has the access to modern instruments and tools and a wealth of information one cannot just stop, wonder and admire how accurate the Shastras (sacred texts) are Â for what are called as a features of a Gemstone.

The first striking feature in this Blue Sapphire is its adamantine brilliance and that is the inward glowing lustre and illumination with rays that the Agni Purana is talking about.

Beautiful much sought after Kashmir Color, scintillating cut, electric lustre, and lack of treatment such as heat make it a potent and powerful Jyotish Gemstone. In fact the features of this Blue Sapphire are so perfect so premium that it is at the apex of Gem pyramid and can be used to make fine jewellery.

In Garuda Purana, Sri Sut Ji Goswami says in the Chapter 72, â€œThe 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.â€

Comments	All gemstones naturally have an allure and appeal. However, aside of quality of the gem, the lapidary also makes a tremendous amount of difference to the overall appeal of the gem.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZJ9WZALZAA

Lapidary is derived from the word lapis or stone and refers to the art of cutting and polishing of gemstones. The term lapidary takes in its ambit all of the many techniques used to make a raw gemstone more attractive and useful. While some gemstones like turquoise are polished, others must be cut to get the best out of them.

Featured today is a beautiful natural Madagascar Iolite of 2.06 carats set in sterling silver as a Saturn talisman ring. Please note that this is a Planetary Bhasma Iolite ring where the shami/khejri bhasma â€“ the sacred herbal ash of the herb of planet Saturn has been sealed into the tubular channel, which stands as a design element on the sides of the gem.

The cushion cut iolite has excellent clarity and a royal bluish violet color, exceptional among iolites – for a moment it has you wondering if it is indeed a blue sapphire! The gem has a beautiful checkerboard cut. The gem is cut into a multitude of square facets spaced regularly around the stones surface, giving a ‘Checkerboard’ effect of light and dark squares when moved in the light.

Natural iolite or neeli gem, is a substitute gem for natural Blue Sapphire/ neelam gemstone and is used to harness the saatvik energies of Planet Saturn/ Shanidev in planetary gem therapy.

Comments	The very blue of clear seas â€“ the vast expansive blue that fills your heart with hope and endless possibilities. The power of the color is tremendous, not just with the symbolism inherent in it or because of the ideas that it can foster, but more so because of the energy it carries that allows it to help manifest changes, rather transformations! Such is the expansiveÂ blue color of the cushion cut Natural Ceylon Blue sapphire featured today. The natural, treatment free Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka has a fair jyotish weight of 2.43 carats and has astounding clarity and intense, sparkly lustre. This gem with scintillating cornflower blue color has been set in sterling silver as a Saturn Talisman ring. Note that the symbol of Saturn stands in relief on the shanks of the ring. In Vedic Astrology, natural Blue sapphire or neelam gemstone is the gem of Lord Saturn / Shanidev and is a very potent tool for harnessing the extremely powerful yet saatvik energies of this planet. One must make sure that while implementing gem therapy, for successful results only the jyotish quality, treatment free, flawless natural gemstones should be used in the talisman. A natural gemstone takes millions of years to form inside the earth – only logical to conclude that cosmic energy has condensed in absolutely pure form over such period of time. Gems that have been subject to any kind of treatment (please note that heat treated Yellow/ blue sapphires are subjected to intense heat of approximately 1700-1800 degree C to enhance color!) cannot be used for gem therapy. The natural cosmic energy of the gem have been tampered with or corrupted by human intervention, solely for the purpose of getting a better price for the gem. So, would you use such a gem for your planetary gem therapy or choose a natural, jyotish quality gem? Enjoy it in Video:
