-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Are of organic origin

Spiritus Sienna 12 â€“ New Lot of Srilankan Hessonite Garnet

March 5, 2012 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Spiritus Sienna 12 â€“ New Lot of Srilankan Hessonite Garnet

Spiritus Sienna 12 – Natural fine Srilankan Hessonite Garnet

In keeping with the Gemstoneuniverse tradition of bringing you only the finest of jyotish gemstones, (Planetary Gems) â€“ we present the new lot of Hessonite garnet â€“ Spiritus Sienna 12â€“ finest Sri Lankan Hessonite.

Hessonite is a variety of Grossular Garnet â€“ it is basically a Silicate of Calcium and Aluminum. It gets its orangy brown color from the trace elements of iron and/ or manganese. The name Grossular is said to have originated due to the resemblance of the crystal to gooseberries, for which the Latin word is Grossularia.

Hessonite is produced fairly abundantly (this comparison is strictly vis-Ã -vis natureâ€™s production of other gemstones only!) in nature.

But the finest color â€“ uniformly spread and having good clarity comes from Sri Lanka.

The Gemstoneuniverse Advantage

All the gems of Spiritus Sienna 12 â€“

-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Are completely natural, treatment free and earth mined.

-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Have a good jyotish weight

-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Have excellent clarity that makes then instantly eye catching.

-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Have electric lustre that grants them those special powers

-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Have the coveted deep burnt imperial cinnamon color– a very rich russet brown.

The certification and appraisal of the gems in this lot is complete and should be available to you in two weeks time.

When you look to Gemstoneuniverse to buy your jyotish gemstone, you can be sure that each gemstone is handpicked and is devoid of any flaws that could potentially bring you harm. The Vedic texts or the shastras mention 14 doshas or flaws that should not be there in a Gomed/ Hessonite garnet, if it is to be used for planetary gem therapy.

For instance, shastras specify that the hessonite should NOT have any red dots in it. A red dot on a hessonite forebodes ill for the progeny / children of the wearer!

And this is just one of the flaws! Each gem at Gemstoneuniverse is assessed critically for any flaw and made available for patrons only once it has passed on all parameters important for jyotish purposes.

Also known as gomed/ gomedha/ gomedhaka in Hindi ans also as Cinnamon stone, Hessonite garnet is the gemstone of planet Rahu in Vedic Astrology. Rahu being a karmic planet can have a tremendous impact on an individualâ€™s life. If placed well, it can bestow worldly riches, besides tremendous popularity and mass appeal. It can give a great edge, especially to people having a career in competitive sports and politics.

If positioned unfavorably it can lead to a constant state of ill- health, inability to discern right from wrong, extreme ambition, illusory ideas and frustration.

An individual going through the Mahadasha or Antardasha (Planetary periods)of Rahu must wear a Hessonite Garnet, that is after getting the birth chart analysed and post a proper gem recommendation.

Apart from this, individuals with Rahu in the ascendant house in the birth chart must wear Hessonite Garnet to bring about stability and success in life.

Rahu or the North Node of the Moon throws in challenges through heightened ambition and desire even when resources are tight or times are not favorable. Planetary gem therapy helps in such times by checking the fuzzy thinking and cutting through the confusion.

Coronation of the Grandmaster of Karmic Retribution â€“ an honor for Gemstoneuniverse

Coronation of the Grandmaster of Karmic Retribution â€“ an honor for Gemstoneuniverse

The New Year starts bringing new hopes and giving everyone a huge canvas to paint on. The old year 2011 is now past. It was an eventful year at Gemstoneuniverse with a number of achievements but the biggest feather in its cap was the phenomenal event on the December 24, 2011.

With the grace of the Almighty, Gemstoneuniverse presented a new jewel encrusted crown to Lord Saturn / Shanidev, at the Shri Shaneeshwara Swamy Sannidhi, next to the Sri Kailasha Vaikunta Mahakshethra in Rajajinagar.

Shri Shaneeshwara Swamy Sannidhi, Rajajinagar The 12 feet high Imposing idol of Lord Saturn

The new crown encrusted with an exceptional Ceylonese Blue sapphire was mounted on the 12 feet high deity on the day of Shaneeshwari amavasya.

It was quite a while before Gemstoneuniverse could zero in, on just the right gem that would be befitting of the glorious deity. And when it was found â€“ Ah! What a gem! A silky cornflower Blue color Sapphire from the Ratnapura mines was the one that finally made the cut. At 2.66 carats, the stunning gem overpowered all else to become the â€˜crowing gloryâ€™ of Shani Mahatma himself.

Invocation of Deities The Yagna in progress

The diety was duly decked with in the alankaar ceremony. Later, the coronation was carried out after elaborate yagnas and homas performed to Lord Ganesha, the deity only with whose blessings all good things commence, the navagrahas whose play is what we call life, and Lord Saturn himself. The coronation culminated with Guruji Shri Arnav offering the final oblations to the fire and offering the magnificent crown to the deity.

It makes us feel immensely blessed, for when one goes to a temple – offerings are made to the lotus feet of the deities, or may be flowers offered to the hands; in this case, the grandmaster of karmic retribution has allowed us the grace, to reach out and rest a crown for him! Not an everyday happening, weâ€™d say!

Mercury is the planet that determines one’s intellect. It is interesting to note that moon is the significator of the “Mind” but it is Mercury or Budha that determines an individuals ability to discriminate and make choice between good and bad options.

Incidentally, Mercury is the son of Moonâ€¦implying that intellect is born of the mind.
