Powerful Mars energies in new Lot Kanti for Gemstoneuniverse Patrons

Powerful Â Mars energies in new Lot Kanti for Gemstoneuniverse Patrons

Organic Red Corals from Italy for Mars Energies

Itâ€™s been a long time coming and we thank our dear patrons who waited so long and patiently to Get their Jyotish Quality Red Coral. Thank You for appreciating what we do!

Moving on there is a shortage of fine organic treatment free coral globally specially with the Japanese Coral which is no where to be found. We did examine manyÂ lots but either they were not Jyotish quality or were in a price band where the cost of procurement is close to the selling price of the Red Coral on the Gemstoneuniverse website.

For a Red Coral to be used as a Jyotish Gemstone The red Coral has to be:

1) Fully Natural and Organic. Precious Biogenic material.

2) Full treatment free with no fillers, wax or dye.

3) Should be free from flaws as listed in the sacred texts. For example one of the flaws is known as Duranga (literally translated having two shades of color). A duranga coral destroys wealth and property.

4) Should have an even pleasing surface and attractive color.

5) Created in the sea by marine polyp.

6) AND SHOULD NOT BE A CAMEL BONE OR PLASTIC. More about that here.

These Corals are from the Mediterranean Sea off the course of Sardinia, these today are benchmark since the supply of the Japanese Red Coral is nearly non existent.

To understand that rarity of Organic Corals digest this fact- Coral Reefs live in just 0.1% of worldâ€™s ocean but they are the home of 25%Â of all marine species.

Precious Natural Red Coral – Five pointers to a Smart Buy

Precious Natural Red Coral – Five pointers to a Smart Buy

Natural Organic Red Coral

Precious coral is captivating gemstone – with its smooth surface and robust color, the gemstone is absolute imagery of vitality and symbolizes youthful vigor.

However, distinguishing precious coral from its look-alikes can be a hard task. For a layman the slick sales pitch and attractive form and designs can be overwhelming and could lead to a misjudged purchase. One has to be still more careful if the objective is planetary gem therapy. So how does one identify a precious coral? Here is a quick guide to a foolproof purchase –

– Nothing can replace lab certification. A good vendor will give you a certified gem that lists the verified properties of the specimen.

– Precious red coral measures 3.5 on Moh’s scale and has a specific gravity of 2.65- 2.68 which will be clearly stated on the certificate helping in identification. Precious red coral is an opaque gemstone, it has a refractive index of 1.48.

– Don’t get taken in by fancy names like Taiwanese coral. While previous coral does exist there, it faces a crisis as reefs are threatened by pollution. An entire plastic coral industry has come up which produces look-alikes that could confound anyone!

Available Easily Taiwan plastic coral – How do you distinguish?- Bamboo coral, which is also a coral found growing in the sea, but not precious coral is dyed and palmed off to unsuspecting buyers. Make sure you ask the right questions and do a minimum homework before making a valuable purchase.

Bamboo Coral- Precious red coral will display a wood grain texture under magnification, which may not show in case of resin filled, wax treated coral, as it would give a texture too good to be true.

A variety of techniques can be use to determine if the color of a piece of coral is dyed or is a fake. However, these techniques like acetone exposure or heating will destroy the specimen being tested! A lab report and a trusted source always hold the key to a good buy.

Featured today is a natural and organic red coral of 4.94 carats. The rich Mediterranean ox blood color of the coral and the smooth blemish free surface of the gem allow it to stand apart. The cabochon cut red coral is from Italy and meets all the criteria for a premium jyotish quality gem.

Natural red coral or moonga is the gemstone of planet Mars/ Mangal and is used to harness its extraordinary powers.
