Comments	Refreshing and life-infusing, such is the aura of the gemstone featured today â€“ a fine 3.22 carat cushion cut peridot from Burma!

The gorgeous natural and treatment-free peridot has good jyotish weight and has a lovely rich olivine green color with excellent clarity â€“ the kind that is coveted in a prized peridot. It has been set in sterling silver as a Mercury talisman and has the symbol of Mercury standing in relief on the pendant bail. The gem does absolute justice to the reputation to the legend of its place of origin â€“ Burma, the famed land, which has been known for giving the world best quality gemstones.

Peridot or zabarjad is the substitute gem for natural emerald/panna gemstone. It is used to harness the energies of Planet Mercury/ Budh.

You may also find some traders selling it in the name of â€˜Evening emeraldâ€™! However, a peridot is NOT an emerald. Ethical trade practices require a gem to be sold by its real name and that any treatments be disclosed to the buyer.

Euphemisms in gem trade have been coined to add a measure of romance ultimately fetching a better price for â€˜possibly not such a valuable gem. For instance, red spinel has often been sold under the euphemism â€“ â€˜Balas rubyâ€™! It does not make spinel, a ruby!

Peridot is a gem of the mineral forsteritic olivine. And natural emerald is a gem of the beryl group. They could not be any more different!

Comments	Gone are the days when there was a distinction between precious and semi-precious gemstones. The formation of any gemstone takes hundreds and thousands of years. With this understanding, it is only logical that creation of more mineral wealth will take almost similar time therefore, what gemstones we have today are a treasure of immeasurable value.

Featured today is a two-gem pendant that has two upratnas â€“ natural Iolite and natural Peridot set in sterling silver. The natural and treatment free Iolite of 2.14 carats is one of the best from Madagascar with royal bluish violet color. The cushion cut gem has checkerboard faceting and has fantastic clarity. The natural peridot of 3.56 carats is a gem of a gem from the mines of Pakistan with the luscious olivine color. The natural treatment free peridot has an electric color and fantastic clarity.

It is heartening to note that the individuals are becoming increasingly discerning and aware of gemstones and real value of natural gems â€“ whether they be the primary gems or the alternatives/upratnas. More importantly what is remarkable is that instead of delaying gem therapy or opting for inferior baubles in the name of gems, individuals are embracing upratnas with the same love and adulation that ANY GEMSTONE deserves!

In Vedic astrology, natural iolite/ neeli is the substitute gem for natural blue sapphire/ neelam and is used to harness the saatvik energies of planet Saturn/ Shanidev. Natural Peridot also known as olivine or zabarjad is the substitute gemstone for natural emerald/ panna/ zamrud and is used to harness the energy of Planet Mercury/ Budh. Mercury and Saturn have naisargik mitrata/ planetary friendship and their energies come together in harmony in the beautiful pendant.

Comments	A thing of beauty is a joy forever and nothing reiterates this fact more than precious, gorgeous gemstones. Individuals can combine more than one gemstone into a singular talisman and still get optimum benefits. One need not sacrifice personal preference / comfort for planetary gem therapy – where there’s a will there is a way!Featured today is a marvellous three gem pendant (tri-ratna) which has a natural burn cinnamon color Ceylon Hessonite of 3.23 carats, a fantastic checkerboard-cut natural olive color peridot from China of 2.20 carats and a natural Blue Moonstone (with great adularescence/ schiller) of 2.09 carats from India. All the gems are completely natural and treatment free and have been set in a sterling silver talisman pendant. Noteworthy is the fact that it is not just an ordinary pendant but is a planetary bhasma pendant where the sacred herbal ash of the planet associated with each gem sits concealed in the tubular design element surrounding the gem.

– Hessonite also known as gomedh/ gomedhaka is the gemstone of the North node of the Moon or planet Rahu. The sacred herbal ash or bhasma of the Doorva grass, which is the planetary herb of Rahu, is concealed in the tube design around the hessonite gem.

– Likewise, the peridot or the zabarjad â€“ the substitute gem of natural emerald/ panna, the gemstone of Mercury/ Budh has the apamarga bhasma (planetary herb of Mercury) sealed in the tube design.

– And lastly, the natural Blue moonstone or chandrakant mani, the substitute gem of natural pearl and also the repository of Lunar energies, has the palash bhasma (planetary herb of Moon) sealed in the design around the Moonstone.

Many individuals are uncomfortable with too many rings or for that matter even a single finger ring. It is a personal trait. Similarly, there are lines of work that require individuals to remove finger rings for instance, those in the medical profession. In such cases, implementing planetary gem therapy as a pendant works the best, rather than removing and re-wearing the rings all the time the latter is a sure way to render gem therapy almost ineffective.

Planetary gem therapy requires that gems, once consecrated and energized be worn on person, without removing to gain optimum benefits.
