Comments Gemstones such as the one featured today are what jyotish gemstones should be like. The perfect example of what makes the cut on the stringent parameters required for a jyotish rashi ratna.

Soak in the blissful sight of a natural and unheated Ceylon Blue sapphire set in silver as a Saturn Talisman ring. The treatment free blue sapphire of 3.78 carat has a fantastic jyotish weight along with a coveted rich silky sky blue color. The oval shaped gemstone has excellent clarity and electric lustre – hallmarks of a fine natural gem.

In Vedic astrology, natural Blue sapphire or neelam is the gemstone of Lord Saturn/ Shani and is the rashi ratna for the signs/ rashis of Capricorn (makar) and Aquarius (kumbha). For best results in planetary gem therapy one must use a jyotish quality gemstone only.

Please note that in this particular blue sapphire, on display is master lapidary work. The fantastic cutting and polishing of the gem has lent it a matchless brilliance – almost adamantine (diamond like) in nature. The symmetry and dimensions, in fact the aesthetic appeal is completely determined by the cutter who is the artist in the world of gemstones.

Comments Gemstones probably are the custodians of the world’s most intriguing powers, of the curious incidents, of meteoric rising, and what not!

Featured today is a fine natural jyotish quality Zambian emerald of 2.00 carats. The oval cut vibrant emerald green gemstone has been set in 22 karat gold as a Mercury Talisman ring. The gem is lustrous and has fine clarity.

The story of the emerald seal bearing the title of “Jagat Seth” given to Fateh Chand of Murshidabad in 1723 by emperor Muhammad Shah is well known. The title of Jagat Seth (financier of the world) became a legend – a name that he came to be known by. In fact, Jagat Seth became an iconic brand itself. His set up became a bank of sorts that was given the charge of royal mints at Dhaka and Patna!

Iconic House of Jagat Seth in Murshidabad

Adopted by Manik Chand, Fateh Chand grew to tremendous levels of power. He was an astute businessman who was at one time regarded as important as the Nawab of Bengal and admired even by the foreigners! Interestingly, much of the foreign exchange control in those times, rested in his hands.

Natural Emerald or zammrud or panna gemstone is the gem of planet Mercury/ Budh. It can be used in a talisman to harness the energies of this planet.

Comments Gemstones are a subject that is explored only if the individual is curious. Of late, there is an increased interest in the world of natural gemstones for not just there value but for the great healing and planetary energy benefits.http://youtu.be/j8RrpFFn1g4

Featured today is a natural and treatment free Peridot of 3.66 carats from Burma set in sterling silver as a Mercury Talisman ring. The symbol of Mercury stands in relief on the shanks of the ring. The rectangular cushion cut peridot has a luscious and deep olive green color and fantastic clarity. Burma is known for it natural gemstones and the gemstone reflects the pedigree through its electric lustre aside of the other appealing characteristics.

Peridot or zabarjad zaytuni is the substitute gemstone of natural emerald/ panna. It is used in a talisman to harness the energies of the planet Mercury/ Budh. It is also known as Chrysolite /Olivine, and finds a mention among the gemstones in the Holy Bible too.

Please take a note that finding a beautifully cut peridot itself makes it a suitable candidate for commanding a premium. Peridot is not an easy gem when it comes to cutting and faceting. The cutter has to be extremely careful about the inclusions not simply because he must cut the gem as to bring out its maximum allure, also because the internal tension of the peridot is pretty high.

This is what master cutter David Clay Zava has to say about fashioning peridot in a Rapaport magazine article – The rough is prone to shattering or cracking during the cutting process – an upshot of its internal molecular tension and an inability to handle heat transference. It’s often difficult to see into, and while being blocky and of potentially high yield, it can contain hairlike inclusions and curly, wandering feathers that can confound the best of cutters.

Comments Gemstones are truly a miracle of nature. It is only when the love of these precious minerals goes beyond the simple desire of owning fine jewelry or gem that the real world of spectacular creation opens up.

Featured today is a natural Colombian emerald of 1.81 carats set in 22 karat gold as a Mercury talisman ring. The classic emerald cut Colombian emerald is fully natural and has a fine early summer grass green color. What really makes this gem stand apart is the fact that not only is there excellent clarity, despite being an emerald, the gem also has a vitreous lustre, giving it that charismatic appeal!

For planetary gem therapy, the gem must be jyotish quality. For a real appreciation of the jyotish gem that you are holding in your hand and especially more so if it’s an emerald let’s get a little more specific – emerald is a gemstone of the beryl group – Beryllium Aluminium Silicate Al2Be3 (SiO3)6, to be precise.

This gemstone crystal is formed either either in the pegmatite deposits or hydrothermal veins in metamorphic environments. Metamorphic rocks are those rocks, which were once igneous or sedimentary rocks but changed over period of time into a different state due to change in pressure and temperature. (The change however is to be so intense that the rock gets melted and the chemical rearrangement is affected. For instance, Marble is a metamorphic rock that you get when heat and pressure is applied to limestone over a period of thousands of years!)

For an emerald to form, the temperature has to be in the range of 400-500 degrees centigrade and the pressure has to be about 1-3 kilobars per square inch! In other words about 7.5 to 21.75 tons of pressure per square inch! The presence of trace element chromium gives it the rich green color. (in case of the Brazilian emeralds, the color causing trace element is vanadium).

Emerald rough

The mineral is formed within a fluid rich silicate melt that can remain liquid for a very long therefore the cooling time is very long – almost 500 million years!

You may take your time to absorb that information. And we do hope that when you look at the emerald perched on your fingers the next time, you will think about what a treasure, whose life spans an era of geological time, you own!

Natural emerald/ panna is the gemstone of planet Mercury/ Budh and is used in a talisman to harness the energies of this planet.

Comments There is every possibility that the dormant potential powers within you, come up and shine forth when you implement the planetary gem therapy. Especially so, if the planets involved are the two heavyweights of the zodiac.

Featured today is a two-gem pendant – having a natural unheated treatment free Ruby from Mozambique and a natural unheated Ceylon Yellow sapphire set in 22 karat gold as a pendant. The oval cut Mozambique ruby of 1.10 has a deep vibrant reddish pink color and excellent clarity.

The cushion cut natural Ceylon Yellow sapphire of 2.26 carats is again a premium gem with golden canary yellow color, excellent clarity and electric lustre.

Natural ruby/ manik is the gemstone of planet Sun or Surya. Natural yellow sapphire/ pukhraj is the gemstone of Jupiter/ Brihaspati/ Guru and is used to harness its saatvik energies.

In Vedic Astrology, Sun is the king of the Zodiac, the ruler, the luminary, the significator of self, soul / the atman. Jupiter in turn is the ‘devguru’ the mentor of the Gods, chief priest, the bestower of wisdom and good fortune. One of the names of Jupiter is ‘Jeeva’ or ‘Jiva’ meaning consciousness. Therefore, if Sun is the atman then Jupiter is the Jiva – the soul and its consciousness! In other words, the king and his chief advisor come together and work together to give you the best advantages.

Comments There are energy portals in our body known as the chakras and gemstones influence energy exchange at these portals directly. The chakras are the nodes where the positive energy can be received.  The gemstones work on harmonizing the vibration of the individual and bringing it in sync with the universal energy.

Featured today is a 4.50 carat fully natural and organic red coral from Italy set as a  Mars Talisman in a sacred chakra ring. The red coral has a smooth and blemish free surface highlighting its coveted Mediterranean ox blood color at its best. The natural red coral has been fashioned as a cabochon as it is an opaque and organic gem.

Natural Red coral or Munga/ Moonga is the gemstone of planet Mars also known as Mangal/ Kuja/ Angaraka. He is the planet who is the chief of the army of Gods.

Manipura Chakra Manipura Chakra

The third chakra or the Manipura chakra is represented by a 10 petalled lotus (the ring has a ten petalled design emulating this symbol) and is the center of vitality and will power. The energy of the gem certainly resonates with the functionings of this chakra.

Comments Pure, unadulterated energy, divine planetary energy – coursed through the myriad pathways over millions of years and condensed into colourful crystals inside the womb of the earth. Secretly, in faraway confines, it assumed form – something that could be available to humankind, only if it looked hard enough – true treasures that had the power to transform lives – the gemstones.

Featured today is a fine natural and unheated Ceylon yellow sapphire of 3.40 carats. This unheated yellow sapphire of carats has been set in 22-karat gold as a Jupiter talisman ring. The cushion cut gem from Ratnapura mines of Srilanka has a gorgeous canary yellow color and fantastic clarity.

Yellow sapphire or pukhraj stone is the gemstone of Jupiter/ Jove/ Guru/ Brihaspati and is used to harness this planets benevolent energies. For best jyotish results, a natural and unheated yellow sapphire must be used in a talisman.

A question often heard is who should wear a yellow sapphire. Does it bestow good fortune to one and all? The answer to this quandary is that, despite Jupiter being the Devguru and a benevolent planet it is always best to get a proper gemstone recommendation based on analysis of one’s birth chart. An unsuitable gem for an individual can bring about more problems that can be imagined.
