Domed Spectacle – A marvellous Cat’s eye Emerald, rarest of rare gifts of nature

Cat's Eye Emerald. A rare wonder from Mother earth.A Marvellous Piece showcased by Gemstoneuniverse at the 48th Bangkok Gem and Jewelry Fair

 

A Gem is for a Gem

A Marvellous Piece showcased by Gemstoneuniverse at the 48th Bangkok Gem and Jewelry Fair

 

 

Emeralds are one of the most gorgeous gemstones in the mineral world. The alluring green stone is quite brittle and finding a large, one-piece emerald and fashioning it into a gem ready for setting is in itself a daunting task.

This rare beauty takes a very interesting turn and is much rarer still if it displays chatoyancy. A cat’s eye emerald is a rarity. Just to get to see one is tremendous good luck.

Take a look at this gigantic cat’s eye emerald cut en cabochon. This stunning behemoth of 12.56 carats from the famed Muzo mines of Colombia sits mounted in a white gold and has flawless diamonds encircling it and accenting it down in a double row into the shank.

 

The powers of Mercury, the god of trade, communication and well, numbers get combined with the intuitive wisdom of the Dragon’s antinode in this one superbly crafted ring. Not to mention the influence of lux and aesthete brought along by diamonds, signifying the powers of Venus. The owner has a lot going for him/ her!

What makes this a spectacle? Well, there may be some cat’s eye emeralds that you may encounter in the mineral kingdom, but this one takes the cake as it displays five superb chatoyant bands, opening and closing as light falls on it.

There are very fine tubular channels/ inclusions, occurring naturally, also known as silk that run within the gem. When light falls on the gem, the sharp bands of light are formed perpendicular to these hollow tubular structures.

Cat’s eye emeralds are extremely rare and are known to come in only from Colombia or Brazil. More often than not they exist in paler shades only. Chatoyant emeralds are finished as cabochons for they help to accentuate the display of this effect.

In 2001, Christies closed the sale of a cat’s eye emerald cabochon from Brazil of 6. 89carats at a whopping USD ($)81,707!

You can take a wild guess at its price, what this pristine beauty would fetch. Some days the numbers are just not enough! This is year 2011 and this wonder is double the size of what was sold at Christies.

Presenting a Gemstoneuniverse Special

 

Dive in. And we guarantee you it is going to be the experience of a lifetime. One look at the serene and tranquil Blue Sapphire of 12.87 carats is enough to mesmerise you. This lovely oval is of Burmese origin and sits ensconced in a gold ring encircled and accented by several diamonds. You can let your consciousness gather and converge into this gemstone of Saturn. The deep blue has depth, power and pull to take your consciousness for a swim in the waters of eternity.

 

 

Enjoy, as you glide along and explore with abandon, a feeling so rare and indescribable. It is not for nothing that the Blue Sapphire always gives the feeling of a parallel universe contained within it. A feast dished out by nature is always delectable and delightful. This gratification, this treat is for the senses that no pleasure conceptualised purely by man can match.

You can have your own party – a saturnalia, within your soul as your eyes feast on this gem. Incidentally, Saturnalia was a festival that was celebrated in ancient Rome to honour Saturn, the youngest of the Titans. Initially, the festival was celebrated for just a day. But such was its popularity that it was eventually held for a week’s time.

Saturnalia was a festival that was celebrated in ancient Rome to honour Saturn, the youngest of the Titans. Initially, the festival was celebrated for just a day. But such was its popularity that it was eventually held for a week’s time.

 

This festival involved a public ritual where the Statue of Saturn was untied. This statue remained bound by ropes the entire year long and only during Saturnalia was it freed.

You can also unchain many of your blocks just by reposing your consciousness into this extremely powerful gem. As they say, it may be a collector’s item, but energy cannot be contained! Harness it, allow your consciousness to take a dive and walk away with a great feeling!

Comments A picture speaks a thousand words and when you view this gemstone there is nothing much to be said. Just explaining the 5C’s for this august beauty would be an understatement.The challenges associated with securing this Blue Sapphire for our patron is a story for another day.

This is a classic collectible weighing in at 12.87 carats. What makes it so special is that at this massive size it is free from thermal enhancement, has a symmetrical cut, loupe clean clarity, and a color so pleasing and full of fire that this exquisite ring just hypnotizes you. The Accent Diamond accentuates the beauty.

This Blue Sapphire is similar to Lady Diana’s wedding ring with the only difference that this one is slightly bigger and from Burma whereas Lady Diana’s Sapphire is from Ceylon.

Comments The single outstanding factor in this gemstone has to be its color. Eye striking finest canary yellow color is very rare to find in natural unheated gemstones and that is what makes this gemstone very special.  This color is called as Kanak Pushya RagaNormally sapphires are heated to bring in intensity of color but when this color occurs naturally as is the case in this Yellow sapphire it makes the gem rare, precious and above all an agent of powerful positive change.

Added bonuses are the eye clean clarity, above 2 carat weight and an even symmetrical cut.

Classified as Entry level at Gemstoneuniverse when listed it puts many others hyperboles to shame.

Comments Chrysoberyl gets its name from the Greek words CHRYSO meaning Golden and BERYL meaning Green. Chrysoberyl means Golden Green. That’s why Green and Honey tones are the most valued colors in Chrysoberyl. Cats Eye gets it name from the Phenomenon it exhibits, which are called CHATOYANCY, which literally means Cat’s Eye in French. Hence the name Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye.

Since ancient times this gemstone has been associated with Discipline and Self-control and is said to protect its wearer against evil spirits. Also the ancient texts have mentioned its powers to bring back lost wealth and is considered equal to powers to a Natural Blue Sapphire

A beautifully golden green colored, perfect cabochon to harness the immense powers of the Karmic Planet  – Ketu!
