Comments	Natural gemstones have inner, unadulterated energy that makes them very potent tools for Planetary Gem Therapy. Formed naturally due to several geological changes over several hundred million years, these gems have cosmic energy accumulated over eons, residing in them. Just as much is enough to consider the epic proportions in which this energy can profoundly affect human life.http://youtu.be/sDXCcm_v6dU

Featured today is a natural chrysoberyl cat’s eye of 3.79 carats. The oval cut cabochon cat’s eye gemstone from Brazil has a nice greenish yellow color, sharp chatoyancy and translucence – the hallmarks of a good cat’s eye. The gemstone has been set in sterling silver as a cat’s eye Ketu Talisman.

Chrysoberyl Cat’s eye is a fairly hard stone that is 8.5 on the Moh’s Scale of hardness. Cat’s eye is found in the Metamorphic rocks, Pegmatites, which are very coarse-grained igneous rocks, usually granite, that form from water-rich magmas. They are important sources of gem material and crystal specimens. The San Diego Natural History Museum describes such gem formation in Pegmatites very simply and clearly – Picture granite as a mass of hot molten material (magma) below the surface of the earth, cooling slowly into solid rock. If part of the magma contains a lot of water, it will hold more dissolved minerals, and it will cool even more slowly than the surrounding granite. The effect of this very slow cooling of mineral-rich magma is the formation of pockets of large crystals within the granitic rock, commonly found with all the crystals pointing inward. These bodies of rock within a granite mass with large crystals are called pegmatites. Most of the spectacular crystal-producing areas in the world, including Minas Gerais (Brazil), Sri Lanka and San Diego County, are pegmatite areas.

chrysoberyl-mineral Image – Collecting-Rocks-and-Minerals.com

Most of the Cat’s eye gem traded however is found in the placer deposits also – gravely river basins where it finds its way because of its heaviness. The heavier minerals after getting freed from their matrix upon weathering, get concentrated at the bottom of stream, beach, and gravels. The earliest and simpler mining and finding of gems started with scouring through such deposits.

Cat’s eye also known as Vaidurya/ lehsunia/ Bidalaksh is the gem of the South Node of the Moon or Ketu. The phenomenal gemstone is a fast acting gem and is used in a talisman to harness saatvik energies of Ketu, restore semblance, focus and direction in the life of the wearer.

Comments	The Imperial golden yellow topaz is one of the fabulous gemstones known to man. It is unfortunate however, that the gemâ€™s equity has taken a serious hit owing to the confusion caused by unscrupulous/ Â little knowing sellers who have pushed citrine at the buyer in the name of topaz.

Look at the lovely natural Imperial golden yellow topaz from Brazil of 3.06 carats set in sterling silver as Jupiter talisman ring. The gem is a classic emerald cut with amazing imperial golden yellow color and excellent clarity. The gem is loupe clean and is free from any treatment.

Golden imperial yellow topaz is the substitute gem for natural yellow sapphire/ pukhraj gemstone and is used to harness the saatvik energies of Jupiter / Guru/ Brihaspati.

Look at this imperial golden yellow topaz and then take a look at citrine and you will instantly know the difference. Citrine is a member of the quartz family with a rating of 7 on Mohs Scale, where as Topaz is a different mineral altogether that measures 8 on the Mohs Scale.

Citrine

Citrine is sold under various names – gold topaz, or Madeira or Spanish topaz or even Saxon topaz. Please note that Citrine is a variety of Quartz and isn’t Topaz!

It will be interesting for you to note that although natural citrine is available, most of the citrine available on the markets is heat treated amethyst (amethyst belongs to the same quartz group as citrine)! Sometimes Ametrine also can be found, it is a variety of quartz that contains both amethyst and citrine sectors in the same crystal.

Ametrine

Now for the purpose of planetary gem therapy,

Would you –

a)Wear a gem that is heat-treated?

b)Wear a gem that is recommended as a substitute gem for blue sapphire for Saturn?

c) Wear a gem that gives no tangible results astrologically?

We, at Gemstoneuniverse endeavour to give you the best be it value for your money or a piece of jewellery you will cherish, a talisman that makes a qualitative difference in your life or for that matter knowledge regarding gems.

Comments	When individuals look for breaks in life, there are in fact looking for the key to certain locks within themselves. Behind these locks lie unchartered territories, unexplored potential! Gemstones are sometimes the catalysts in arriving at the keys. And, sometimes they are the keys themselves.

Featured today is a beautiful Colombian emerald of 2.87 carats that has been set in 22 karat gold as an emerald chakra pendant. The oval shaped gem masterfully crafted allows the gentle Korean grass juice color to reveal its magic with a vitreous lustre. The gem has superb clarity. And that is what Colombian emeralds are known best for.

Emerald is a relatively soft stone vis-Ã -vis many other colored stones. It measures a 7.5 – 8 on the Mohs Scale. Â It requires a little extra care compared to other gemstones. Because of this property, the gem is usually fashioned in the classic emerald cut also known as the octagonal step cut to give it added stability. Oval gems are therefore rare. Colombian emeralds fetch a handsomer price compared to the other emeralds mainly due to the lovely and clarity.

Natural emerald or panna is the gemstone of Mercury / Budh. Â A clean, saatvik untreated emerald harnesses the energy of this planet and can bring in a new and higher dimension to the wearers life.
