Comments	A good ruby – an eternal source of delight. Not only do you possess one a beautiful gem but a very valuable one too.

Featured today is a natural unheated treatment free ruby from Mozambique of 1.03 carats set in 22-karat gold as a Sun talisman ring. The pear shaped natural ruby is a premium gem and has deep vibrant reddish pink color. The ruby is intense in color and has great clarity and lustre. The fancy pear shape lends added charm.

In Vedic astrology, Ruby or manik gemstone is the gem of Sun / Surya. It is used in a talisman to harness the powerful energies of Sun for ones benefit and betterment.

One must be careful while purchasing precious gems and must ascertain that they are natural and jyotish quality. In the times when rubies have established their value at phenomenal per carat rates, it is but natural that methods of gem treatment have also been devised and developed to take advantage of the price a good ruby fetches.

Not only is there a large volume of heat treated or glass filled rubies on offer in the markets, there is now something known as composite ruby – where two or more separate of low-quality Â corundum are fused together with tinted glass. The real problem arises because the ruby looks good to the unsuspecting buyer and requires fair examination to establish that it is a composite ruby. Also, the unscrupulous sellers may not disclose the treatment/ composition of the gem!

Composite Ruby – Hard to Tell; Image – Newsvine

A research paper on composite rubies by Craig Lynch mentions this – â€œThey are created from opaque to semi-opaque rocks containing corundum and other minerals in which the extraneous minerals are leeched out by a chemical process, leaving numerous voids that are then infused with glass. In the composites now being seen by gemologists and laboratories, the glass component typically comprises 30-40% of the stone, or more! The starting material is too low-grade to be considered a gemstone, and the finished product lacks the durability, rarity and value of a gemstone.â€

Treated rubies are single stones enhanced in some manner to look better and fetch greater value. However, composite rubies are an altogether different thing, fairly brittle and cheap. This is where you end up not owning a gemstone at all! Natural gems come with certification and buyers must ask for it specifically. Arm yourself with the knowledge and make an intelligent buy!

Gemstone	Natural Colombian Emerald
Weight	1.81 carats
Treatment	None. Fully Natural
Origin	Colombia
Planetary Energy	Mercury
Patron Location	Pune, India
All inclusive Price	$ 1614.25 / INR 87169.75
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 itâ€™s an emerald letâ€™s get a little more specific â€“ emerald is a gemstone of the beryl group â€“ 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 â€“ 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	A gemstone there has been loved across ages civilisations. A gemstone of organic origin – the natural pearl. A gemstone that embodies the essence of water – the element within which it is found.

Featured today is an organic and fully natural pearl from Australia of 2.87 carats set in sterling silver as a moon talisman ring. The pearl is a pleasant button shape with translucent white color. The natural pearl has a smooth blemish free surface and comes with a radiography report and certification of authenticity.

Natural pearl, especially jyotish quality pearl in today’s market has become extremely hard to find. Much of the reason for its disappearance aside of economic factors, lies in the flooding of market and cultured pearls and also due to environmental degradation – water pollution and excessive fishing. Take a look at this mother of pearl shrine inside the Beagle Bay church in Australia, which is dedicated to the individuals who perished in the early days of the pearling â€“ the high risk profession of pearl diving.

Natural pearl today commands a very high price, with possibility of finding genuine goods now getting restricted to Estate dealers, auctions, connoisseurs and very few old traders. Before buying the natural pearl, one must ensure that the gem is genuine and is completely free from treatments like bleaching, dyeing or irradiation.

The pearl is a very soft gem of organic origin and its hardness just measures between 2.5-4 on Moh’s Scale. Any jewelry with pearl should be taken care of and handled well.

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:

What Are Upratnas, Semi-Precious Gemstones, Super alternative gemstones & Do they work astrologically?

May 28, 2012 by gemstoneuniverse 7 Comments

What Are Upratnas, Semi-Precious Gemstones, Super alternative gemstones & Do they work astrologically?

Guruji Shrii Arnav

Natural Peridot Ring-Courtesy Gemstoneuniverse.com

Semi precious stones ? Wondering what are these, A frequent question that I often see addressed to Gemstoneuniverse and also the one that has been asked to me countless times : Do Upratnas or Semi-Precious Stones Work? If they do, how effective are they? Can they be considered equally effective as the Navaratanas? Before we dwell into answers of the above questions we should be very clear about what exactly is an Upratna or Uparatana?

Definition of an Upratna?

An Upratna or Semi-Precious StonesÂ are a superior substitute to a Navratna- one of the Nine precious Gemstones. I frankly do not like calling a Gemstones Semi- precious, though some do, purely from the point of view of convenience. However, do note that a Gem Quality and a Jyotish Quality Semi Precious Gemstone is a valuable Gemstone.

The important thing here being- Gem Quality and Jyotish Quality. Even though Indian sacred texts list the use of 84 such semi precious Gemstones, my attempt here is to share information about those substitute gemstones that deliver the best results. This is based on experience and statistical results of many years.

What are the Navratnas?

The Nine Primary planetary Gemstones prescribed in the Shastras (sacred texts) are called the Navratnas (literally translated means nine gems). These are listed below:

The Navratnas-Nine Primary Gemstones

S.no	Planet	Gem Name( English)	Gem Name( Hindi)
1.	Sun	Ruby	Manikya
2.	Moon	Pearl	Moti
3.	Mars	Red Coral	Moonga
4.	Mercury	Emerald	Panna
5.	Jupiter	Yellow Sapphire	Pukhraj
6.	Venus	Diamond	Vajramani/ Heera
7.	Saturn	Blue Sapphire	Neelam
8.	Rahu	Hessonite	Gomed
9.	Ketu	Catâ€™s Eye	Lehsunia/ vaidurya

You will find this list on more than 100,000 websites.

So what is the point of making this list yet again?

Well, it is relevant to our discussion. If you look at the list closely – Pearl, Red Coral, Hessonite and Catâ€™s Eye are classified in the gem trade as Semi Precious Gemstones for the sake of convenience, whereas the description of Shastras is accurate, factual – these are among the Nine Precious Gemstones representing the Nine Planets.Â All these Navratanas have to be gem quality and Jyotish quality to deliver planetary results.

Please make note that in the Shastras the term Semi-Precious (or allusion to a category indicating monetary value) does NOT exist.

Listed in the sacred texts are Upratnas – Superior Substitute Gemstones to be used in lieu of the 9 primary precious Gemstones for getting planetary energies and benefits. And this is what is exactly meant by Upratnas.

In the Indian sacred texts 84 Upratanas have been mentioned. Each of them is used for achievement of an objective or a desire, for resolution for a medical condition, for wealth, for attracting the right partner and for different planets.

Here I shall mention those, which are the best Uparatnas for the nine planetary gemstones. Even though, the efficacy of Agates/ Haqiq, Malachite/ Dana Firang etc.are legendary, we shall restrict our discussion to the Uparatnas of the nine planetary gemstones.

Best Upratnas/ Best Substitute Gemstones for Planetary Energies

S.no	Planet	Upratna of 1^st Choice	Upratna of 2^nd Choice
1.	Sun	Red Garnet	Spinel
2.	Moon	Blue Moonstone	White Moonstone
3.	Mars	Carnelian	Red Agate
4.	Mercury	Peridot	None
5.	Jupiter	Yellow Topaz*	Heliodor
6.	Venus	White Sapphire	White Zircon**
7.	Saturn	Iolite	Amethyst
8.	Rahu	Lapis Lazuli	None
9.	Ketu	Catâ€™s eye quartz	None

*Yellow Topaz is precious and rare and in many instances gives results that are as potent as a Yellow Sapphire. It should not be confused with abundantly available and much lesser priced Citrine, which does NOT give results as a Yellow Sapphire alternative.

** Colorless Top Quality treatment-free Zircon is a potent Uparatana and gives good results. It is often mistakenly called as Jerkin, Zarcan by ill-informed individuals.

*** In the columns marked none – I have not found any gemstone that bought in superior results.

What we have here is a list of 14 gemstones out of 84 choices. These are the best alternatives and deliver results that are satisfactory. I have mentioned only those, which I have noticed delivering quantifiable results first hand. Others also do work but the effect is not quite comparable to these.

Moving on to the second part of the query – Are they effective? And can they be considered as effective as Navratnas?

Yes, upratnas are effective and they provide good results provided they are GEM quality and Jyotish Quality. If Not, Then no results.

The demand of Jewellery industry are so high that today most of the market is flooded with Semi Precious Gemstones – not necessarily Upratnas (Read what actually are Uparatnas above) that go through several treatments such as radiation, dyeing etc. to improve appearance. Treated Gemstones will give no results for Jyotish Purposes.

Jyotish Quality= Gem Quality + Free from Treatment + Free from any kind of flaws listed in the scared texts.

Where Gem Quality means that a Gem excels on the all 4Câ€™s of Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight.

Are Uparatanas as effective as the Nine Primary Gemstones?

Well, there is no unit of measure or yardstick where the results between delivered by them can be compared. Hereâ€™s an example to help you understand better – Â if we were to travel from point A to point B, we could do that by an aeroplane or on a motorcycle.

You can compare the results of Jyotish Quality Navratnas as that of an aeroplane and that of Jyotish quality Upratnas as that of a motorcycle. The important part is that they get the job done that is to traverse the distance and reach point B.

Upratnas create miracles and are a fantastic starting point for Gem Therapy. Some of them such as Peridot and Yellow Topaz have many extra benefits in addition to the planetary benefits.

Mull on this – Gem quality Green Jade( Jadeite), mentioned as one of the Upratnas among the 84 that find mention in the sacred texts is known as Sang-E-Yashab ( Classified as Semi Precious in some trade circles) and is excellent for heart health, is sometimes more expensive per carat than a Ruby, Sapphire or an Emerald. In case you happen to try an upratna and it spins some magic for you, You would be inseparable from your talisman, rendering your upratna invaluable. Therefore, there are no precious and semiprecious gems â€“ just gemstones!

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!

With Blessings, Love and Peace
