Comments It is only a connoisseur that can tell a true treasure from a milieu of gems! Although there each gem is a veritable miracle in its own right, there are some that truly command awe!

Featured today is a splendid natural white sapphire from Srilanka with a weight of 4.15 carat. The fabulous gem is a radiant rectangle cut and is a flawless, colorless beauty with fantastic clarity and brilliance. The gem with a fantastic weight has been set in 18-karat white gold as a Venus Talisman.

White sapphire is colorless corundum – found extremely rare in nature. A white sapphire of over 2 carats is actually hard to find and therefore will command a premium just by the virtue of its caratage. Also known as safed pukhraj or naram vajramani in Hindi, the white sapphire is the gemstone of Venus/ Shukra.

Venus is the planet that has all things luxurious, fine, rich, aesthetic and sensual in its domain. A well-placed Venus in one’s birth chart can bestow all earthly successes and delights to an individual. Although Diamond is also the gemstone of Venus, finding a jyotish grade flawless diamond is quite a task.

A white sapphire is a much better option (although rarer and quite dear) because its clarity can be judged easily compared to that of a diamond. Also because the female individuals can don the gem, white sapphire without worrying about any strictures (Vedic Astrology and ratna shastras would rather have the female individuals keeping their distance from diamonds – their touted best friends!).

Aakshi 2012 – Superbly Chatoyant Honey Colored Chrysoberyl Cat’s eye New Lot

Aakshi 2012 – Superbly Chatoyant Honey Colored Chrysoberyl Cat’s eye New Lot

 

Aakshi 2012

 

 

When it comes to planetary gemstones, Chrysoberyl cat’s eye takes the cake any day! It stands apart from the rest just like its planetary energy Ketu or the South Node of the Moon.

Usually fashioned as a cabochon for maximum display of its splendorous phenomenon, chrysoberyl cat’s eye also known as lehsunia, vaidurya, bidalaksh in Hindi is a translucent gem. It is also a phenomenal gem and displays an optical phenomenon called chatoyancy, where a sharp silvery white band of light runs across its surface. It mimics the effect similar to the opening and closing of the eye of a cat.

The phenomenon happens due to the interaction of light with the hollow tubular channels or silk in the crystal structure of the gem. Chrysoberyl cat’s eye comes in varying shades ranging from the pale yellow to golden yellow to honey colored to Neptune greens! The gemstone is highly effective and powerful but different individuals have varied preference with respect to color.

Gemstone universe brings to you the new lot of Chrysoberyl cat’s eye from Sri Lanka – Aakshi 2012.

The gems are handpicked and free of any doshas mentioned in the ancient texts, which have laid down strictures for planetary gemology. For instance, texts mention flaws like deha and karkara among several others to watch out for. A karkara cat’s eye is hard to touch, devoid of the smoothness of a good gem, such a gem can cause rifts in relationship with close friends and well-wishers. A cat’s eye gem, which is deha leads to wasting of the body.

Each gem of the new lot Aakshi 2012

-          Is completely natural and treatment free Chrysoberyl Cat’s eye

-          Is honey colored

-          Is translucent

-          Has a dynamic chatoyant band running across it

-          Is free of any doshas/ flaws mention in the sacred texts

-          Has good planetary energies of Ketu

-          Is competitively priced

-          Gives best value and gem therapy results

Note: Certification and appraisal process of all the gems in these two lots is complete and they will most certainly be made available for online purchase within the next couple of weeks.

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-à-vis many other colored stones. It measures a 7.5 – 8 on the Mohs Scale.  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.  A clean, saatvik untreated emerald harnesses the energy of this planet and can bring in a new and higher dimension to the wearers life.

Comments Follow the lead of the stars that gleam within this lustrous beauty and walk the road to your destiny.

Featured today is a fully natural and unheated Ceylon blue sapphire of  2.02 carats set in sterling silver as a ladies blue sapphire ring. The cushion cut gem has an appealing royal blue color and has amazing clarity and lustre.

Blue sapphire is corundum colored blue, by traces of titanium. Corundum is a word derived from the Sanskrit word kurundum or korund.

Another legend is that corundum got its name very early on from Karund which was the ancient name of Kalahandi district in Orissa. The ancient Naga rulers of this place were known as Karundhadhipati. This is one place that has been famous for gemstone deposits.

In fact, quite interestingly the deity of this place is Manikya Devi or Manikeswari, literally meaning goddess of rubies or corundum. (Rubies are corundum colored red, by the presence of traces of chromium).

Manikeswari Temple Image Wikipedia 

Blue sapphire is also known as neelam in Hindi and Vedic astrology describes it as the gemstone for Lord Saturn/ Shanidev. It is a very potent gemstone, shows fast results and carries the powerful, transformative energies of Saturn.

Comments The color of endless possibility, of fertility, of soothing calmness that is what stands out in today’s piece.

Featured today is a beautiful natural Colombian emerald of 2.18 carats set in 22-karat gold as a men’s emerald ring. This classic emerald cut, Colombian emerald with a rich grass green color is completely natural, untreated and unenhanced in any manner and has great clarity and fine lustre.

Colombian emeralds were first brought on to the world scene by Spanish conquistadors who, upon invading South America saw the natives wearing gems that surpassed beauty of the existing emeralds known. Subsequently, in the 1550s the mines of Muzo, Chivor and Coscuez were discovered. Much of the mineral wealth was drained away initially but the mines continue to yield, although in much less quantity.

In Vedic astrology, natural emerald or panna stone is the gemstone of Mercury also known as Budh and is used to harness the energies of this Mercurial planet, which governs speech, communication, commerce, trade and all professions that relate to information exchange.
