Go Green New Parcels of Colombian and Zambian Emeralds

MANIMAL 2013 – Natural Colombian emeralds

The rich green color of emeralds is matchless in its ability to soothe and rejuvenate. Green is the color of freshness and new life. Among the gemstones, emerald holds its own just because of this exceptional trait. No matter what the shade of emerald, it stands out and one will be able to notice during the process of selection that there is invariably a shade of emerald that complements the skin tone of the individual. Gemstoneuniverse presents its two new parcels of fully natural treatment free Colombian and Zambian emeralds â€“ Manimal 2013 and Matang 2013.

Colombian emeralds are marked by a lighter shade of green but much clearer crystal. The Zambian emeralds on the other hand are characterised by a deep rich shade of green with a hint of blue. On an average the Colombian emeralds are highly valued compared to their Zambian counterparts. But real determination of value is done on the basis of individual gem and its measuring up on the benchmarks of cut, clarity, color, carat weight etc. A prized Zambian may sometimes outdo the Colombian gem by a great margin.

According to Vedic Astrology, Natural emerald or zammrud or panna is the gemstone of Planet Mercury or Budh.

While picking gems for use in planetary gem therapy, Gemstoneuniverse makes sure that these gems are top of the line, with even the emeralds (that tend to be highly included, as the crystal grows naturally) displaying enviable clarity and great lustre! There are no compromises made on quality and even great looking natural gems are rejected, if they carry internal flaws (doshas) that could interfere with your gem therapy.

Manimal 2013 is the new parcel of natural Colombian emeralds. Each gem of Manimal 2013

– Is fully natural and treatment free
– Is of Colombian origin
– Is early summer grass green in color
– Has fantastic clarity
– Has great jyotish weight

Identity Secured – Journey of a Natural Brazilian Emerald to the Realm of Precious

Identity Secured – Journey of a Natural Brazilian Emerald to the Realm of Precious

Natural Brazilian Emerald

Of the many origins of the fascinating emeralds, Brazil finds a mention too. Infact, it is one of the world’s major producers of natural emerald, besides being the producer the largest varieties of colored gemstones in the world, nearly 90 in number! It is a vast nation with a rich tapestry of geographical factors that have contributed to its natural wealth.

The discovery of emeralds in Brazil though was a fairly late occurrence as recent as early 1960â€™s. Even then, it was a struggle for this gem to find recognition as a true precious gem as enjoyed by its peers from Colombia and Zambia.

In 1963, Jules Sauer, the renowned owner of Amsterdam Sauer and gem dealer, found beryl in Salininha in Brazil’s Bahia State. As far back in time as reckoning went, the world of gemstones knew and categorised “emerald” as green beryl colored by the trace element chromium. The problem arose because the Brazil Bahia emerald were colored by both vanadium and chromium more of its color coming from vanadium.

Jules Sauer

It was only when he submitted specimens to Gemological Institute of America (GIA) gem lab and obtained its identification and certification as precious emerald, did the world sit up and take notice of the Brazilian emerald. The Brazilian emerald is remarkable with its vivacious rich green color. In the good quality, brazil emerald it is easy to notice the innate glow of the gem, which adds a lot to its value.

Most of the Brazil emerald comes from the state gem state of Minas Gerias. The forms of mining vary from the almost primitive ways of men going down mining shafts in a leather harness, to the state of the art machines operating at the surface level. Most of the emerald occurs here in mica, biotite and talc schists.

Did You Witness a Miracle – Exploring the Wonderful World of Gems and More…

Natural Colombian Emerald

“Vivo de milagro en milagro.

They live from a miracle to another miracle. This is what the gem traders of Colombia say (of course these are the small ones for whom every sale, of every single gem matters as it fuels the kitchen fires). While it is a simple yet eloquent way of putting forth the truth, there is also a depth that cannot be ignored.

Miracles happen in each one’s life. However there is a sense of entitlement with which human beings anticipate and approach outcomes. It is because of this the miracle is essentially reduced to ‘just another event’. It is only when a breakthrough happens in a tough time that miracles are accorded due status.

Gems in themselves are miracles. Who could have figured what magical sparkling treasures are secretly formed within the earth’s womb! Silently and steadily, it just spins its magic…

Metaphysical Properties of Emeralds – The Magic of Gem Crystals

February 28, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

Metaphysical Properties of Emeralds – The Magic of Gem Crystals

Natural Zambian Emerald above 6 carats

Zambian emeralds are characterized by a rich emerald green color with a bluish tinge and the color is present to the core. Not so with the Colombian emeralds where color is concentrated towards the outer crystal and core is relatively clearer.

Emeralds have had a great metaphysical meaning for centuries. The gemstone is regarded to work on the supra physical aura first and then heal the malaise therefore raising the vibratory rate of the body.

It is also known as the gemstone of truth with great powers of revelation. It is believed that no trickery, conjuring, spells, magic are able to work upon the wearer of the emerald. After all, Mercury or Hermes himself is the ultimate trickster, who was able to pull wool over Apollo’s eyes! And with the power of Mercury himself, it is not possible to remain susceptible to anymore trickery.

Emerald is also believed to enhance the prophetic faculty or the ability to foresee future events what in common parlance may be termed as intuitive intelligence is actually strong Mercury working its power. It is a gem that enhances arts of divination, clairvoyance etc.

The color of emerald – green symbolizing life, rejuvenation, fertility and hope is coveted not just for its beauty but for all that it can do for the wearer. Mercury is the planet of communication and hence can give a person great facility with language, creative ways and enthralling through speech. It can give structured thinking and the required calmness to do so, to people who have very high entropy/ restlessness and tend to get bored very easily.

Emerald is the birthstone of the signs Gemini and Virgo, which are ruled by Mercury.

Understanding the Emerald Cut and What it Does for Your Gem

February 21, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Understanding the Emerald Cut and What it Does for Your Gem

Natural Colombian Emerald Ring with Accent Gems

The most popular cut for emeralds is the step cut or the trap cut – so much so that it has been named the classic emerald cut. In this cut, the gem has a distinct table with rectangular faces on the crown as well as the pavilion, running parallel to the girdle.
The facets are sometimes square with truncated corners. There are two rows on the top, crown, and usually three rows on the pavilion or cone. This cut is preferred cut for emeralds as it allows for maximum weight retention and does give a stable form to this relatively soft gem that rates 7 on Mohs Scale and scratches easily.

Emerald cut

While this is a great cut for an emerald, the emerald or step cut is unable to bring out the fire and brilliance in gems like diamond. A round brilliant diamond with 58 facets including the culet allow for light to bounce off so many surfaces, creating a spell binding brilliance!

Anatomy of a Round brilliant cut

And with the diamonds high refractive index, it would be a pity not to get the maximum fire and brilliance from the gem. It is a fact that emerald cut diamonds sell at a lesser price than round brilliants! They have their own connoisseurs though.

The emerald cut is good bet for emeralds as the clarity is almost always compromised in this gem that invariably forms in nature with multiple inclusions or Jardine. So there is hardly anything to lose in terms of brilliance or fire. Instead the advantage lies in this cut highlighting the rich velvety emerald green color.

Emeralds over one carat will invariably have one or the other clarity characteristics. So while judging an emerald, one has to be accommodative about inclusions. However, it does not mean that clarity can go for a toss! It means that a good natural emerald must have a diaphanous look, where light passes through the crystals giving it a soft inner glow.

Some top quality emeralds from Colombia have clear crystal and therefore may be found in mixed cuts highlighting the stunning clarity and lustre, typical of that geographic location.

Sacred Secrets of Planetary Gemology-Choosing a Cat’s Eye based on position and association.

Sacred Secrets of Planetary Gemology-Choosing a Cat’s Eye based on position and association.

Gem Therapy is miraculous as it holds profound secrets and it is the knowledge of these key secrets that bring in those promised key results. Sacred knowledge possessed by a lucky few and implemented correctly by even fewer people. Some of these secret tenets are so powerful that they are transferred by word of mouth in true Guru Shishya (Teacher Disciple tradition).

Out of the nine planets that affect Human destiny as per Vedic Astrology only Rahu and Ketu do not have the lordship of any of the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Their results get influenced by the planets with which they are posited and the signs in which they are placed. Jyotish Gem selection for shadowy planets is a special skill that requires specialized knowledge and correct implementation.

A greenish golden Catâ€™s eye is especially effective when Ketu is posited in the signs of Mercury- Gemini or Virgo or is posited with Mercury.

In such cases when Mercury is the depositor of Ketu, Ketu acquires many of the characters of Mercury and when a Greenish Golden Catâ€™s Eye Chrysoberyl is selected you are assured of special and extraordinary results. Generally such combinations are seen based on special objectives of the individual.
