Pretty Baubles or Gemstones – What you think is the cheapest is the most expensive & the most useless!

Are you just buying some STONE in the name of Gemstones?

What you think is cheap is the most expensive.

Don’t Let this happen with you

Cheap Stones Trash Gemology and Trash Results

Things we don’t like and You shouldn’t  either

Every new day that dawns, is different and the surprises that come with it are different too. For many of us life has changed tremendously in the last decade singularly. Technology, access to widespread sources of information and delimiting of geographical constraints has really shrunk the world.

However, contrary to expectations of progress and development, there are trends that continue to befuddle. In this age and times, when the postal mail is allegedly breathing its last, it is still the number one choice of propagation for people and organizations that seek to gain from the lack of knowledge on customer’s part and the baseless fears that operate in this realm.

We received a proposal in the post from a wholesaler of stones ( Not gemstones just stones- more on this later) and this prompted us to bring up this issue. It raised serious concern in our mind about the gem quality that is currently afloat in market where planetary / jyotish gems are concerned.

What made us write this piece?

At Gemstoneuniverse we believe in delivering world class products and services. Just have a look at Gemstoneuniverse blog and you know that we have our hands full. Invariably despite having great information about correct pricing of colored Gemstones we gets mails and calls to the effect of why a 3 carat gem is more expensive than a 10 carat one?

These kinds of mails are the result of an overzealous online research which some individuals proudly classify as exhaustive. Most of senders of these mails cannot even distinguish between a Ruby and a rubellite let alone a Natural ruby or a Glass filled one.

Sometimes even a trained eye that has worked for decades and worked with thousands of Gemstones will have no idea of price, The world of Gemstones is so complex.

You can access price Gemstones like a professional by clicking here

The above article is a great resource that takes into account rarity, color shades, saturation, intensity and several other factors that combine towards standard Gemstone pricing.

We hope that this shall put an end to this kind of wasteful communication to that we can direct our energies to those who understand and are interested in real Gem Therapy

One look at the gemstone pictures and the price point at which they are being made available was enough. Well, see for yourself – This wholesaler has cat’s eye and hessonite gems starting at INR 11 (yes you read it right!) per carat? Or find jyotish grade ruby, emerald or red coral for INR 100 per carat? It does not end here – a diamond of 46-60 cents is available for INR 650. You could check the market around for price of a diamond of this weight and boy, will you be astonished!

Check wholesale price of Diamonds, buyer to buyer price at the link below:

http://www.diamonds.net

Membership to Rapaport reports costs more than this INR 650 Diamond!

 

There is also a section for antique gems which has a price point running from INR 12,000 to INR 24, 000 per carat. Well, real antique gems and estate jewelry agents will soon be out of job! At this juncture we would like to let you know that this is sometimes just the cost of certification for some gems offered by Gemstone Universe!

 

Let’s start at the beginning. This wholesaler is offering this lucrative proposition only to select astrologers, whom he eulogizes and describes in very glorifying terms – they are the interpreters of the future, they show the light in hard times and what not. And then this offer is extended to them saying that this wholesaler has proved to be even the astrologer’s good fortune!

It does not take much to realize that this situation is prevailing only because people only have the astrologer or the local jeweler to turn to for meeting this demand.

Please understand that the astrologer is not a gemologist. He is an individual who has grip over the knowledge of astrology. Gemstones and their quality is a different ball game. And now with the several treated gems and synthetic substitutes available, identifying the real jyotish grade gem has become increasingly difficult.

The jeweler on the other hand is neither an astrologer nor a gemologist. He is just a business person, who is in the market to sell and will sell anything in which he sees a good profit margin. And sadly the gems for sale offered by such wholesalers provide no value for jyotish purposes or for those looking at gems as a good investment.

On the other hand what distinguishes Gemstoneuniverse is its specific process from selection of gems to third party appraisal before it finally reaches you. We are the rare breed of astro-gemologists committed to the cause of planetary gemology, who can assure you correct recommendation and flawless gems (free of all doshas as prescribed in the sacred texts).

So before you decide to put your life chances at stake by reposing trust in a local jeweler or an astrologer to provide you remedial gemstones, think twice!

A qualified and certified Astrogemologist is what you are looking for.

Your Cheapest Gem is the most expensive Gemstone.

The fascination of weight leads to maximum exposure of cheap flawed stones in the market. Have a look at these videos below. Video 1 is thermally treated and diffused Yellow Sapphire which makes up 90% of the Indian Market especially Markets in West India And South India. Markets in North India have even more cheaper goods. Mostly Yellow and Blue Sapphires in North India are from Ceylon in the weight range of 5-7 carats. The Astrologer suggests weights in the price range of Sava Paanch Ratti to Sava Saath Ratti of bluff dyed Ceylon sapphires that are poor in color and that becomes white. This story was done earlier and can be accessed at the link below:

http://gemstoneuniverse.com/blog/?p=2078

Video 1: Thermally Treated and Diffused Thai Yellow Sapphires sold as Kanak Pushya Raga

Video 2: Thermally Treated and Diffused Blue sapphires sold as Neela or MahaNila. These stones were white in color before treatment.

Video 3: Fake Pearls sold as Burma Moti, Basra Moti, Saccha Moti

Video 4:Heated and Dyed Blue Sapphires from Ceylon/ Sri Lanka-The favourite of the Sava Paanch Raati-Sava Saat Ratti Astrologer

These Blue Sapphires are poor quality mineral rough. Classified as Non Gem material as per the Gemstone pyramid these goods are dyed and heated and have zero value for Astrological results. These non Jyotish quality Sapphires form the bulk of North Indian markets where the average recommended size is 5.25 ratti- 7.25 ratti? Wonder, how does everyone get the same recommendation despite different planetary positions and needs. Poor quality cheap goods that are cheaper than even diffused Thai Sapphires but are a favourite of the Sava Paanch Raati-Sava Saat Ratti Astrologer. This material is stone not a “Gemstone”

 

Video 5: Heated and Dyed Yellow Sapphires from Ceylon/ Sri Lanka

 

These Yellow Sapphires are poor quality mineral rough. Classified as Non Gem material as per the Gemstone pyramid these goods are dyed and heated and have zero value for Astrological results. These non Jyotish quality Sapphires form the bulk of North Indian markets where the average recommended size is 5.25 ratti- 7.25 ratti? Wonder, how does everyone get the same recommendation despite different planetary positions and needs. Poor quality cheap goods that are cheaper than even diffused Thai Sapphires but are a favourite of the Sava Paanch Raati-Sava Saat Ratti Astrologer. This material is stone not a “Gemstone”

Cost per carat	Sales per carat	Profit	% Return	Planetary Result
200	1500	1300	650	Zero

These are typical average selling price of bluff dyed and treated Blue sapphire. Depending on Customer it is also sold anywhere from INR 3000-INR 5000 per carat( a price point considered to be cheap by the customer)

Graph Indicating Percentage profit and results in Unethical Stone trade

 

Conclusions:

When you buy a 5 carat Gem at INR 1500 per carat you are being held out trash. You are not wearing a Yellow Sapphire. You are wearing a stone that was white in color became yellow with chemical and heating.

Your INR 7500 is a waste.

There goods are not Jyotish Quality. They will not work.

These stones will not appreciate over time. This stone will not have a buy back value.

The only way Vendor can protect himself is by handing out another candy of exchange but no refunds.

You think you are wearing a bigger gemstone that will bestow big results. What you are wearing is a big stone with no results (Check failure case study above). You are not wearing a Gemstone at all.

Respect Planetary Gemology the sacred science of India that creates miracles everyday and protect you. Go back to the article Do Gems Work- No they Don’t for 90% of the people and if implemented correctly you shall have good results. Before you get influenced by price or what a relative or a loved one has to say check the reality and check the professional credentials of your vendor

Failure in Gem Therapy Case Study-Usage of Diffused Thermally Enhanced Thai Yellow Sapphire & Zero Astrological  results.

Thai Blue and Thai Yellow Sapphire/Kanchanaburi Yellow Sapphire( Also sold in the pseudonym of Kanaka Pushya Raga, diffused and heated does not work for Jyotish Purposes. This write up is for all those who send us mails on similar lines.

Thermally diffused Thai yellow Sapphire/Kanachanaburi Yellow Sapphire Zero Results

Gem therapy in the realm of Planetary Gemology is a very potent remedial tool that can aid in coaxing the karmic life map to unfold much to an individuals advantage. However, as potent as it might be, challenges appear out of the blue when an individual sets out in a positive direction. This phenomenon is nothing new, nothing unfamiliar to most people.

Have you ever noticed how problems and hurdles crop up out of nowhere as soon as you venture out to do something that is really worthwhile and can be significantly beneficial for you? Have you suddenly fallen ill, faced expected or unexpected opposition and hostility, experienced difficulty in a different aspect of life, something that obstructs your normal functioning, or fallen prey to self-doubt and scepticism?

Altering the Karmic life map isn’t easy and fate throws up numerous challenges in your face to determine how much mettle you have, how tenacious you are or are you really worthy of being allowed to bypass karmic retributions originally planned for you! So even if you have resources in front of you, it may still be a tough ride to circumvent the unrelenting grip of fate.

There are many of our clients with completely noble and respectable intentions but who end up losing time money and direction, caught up unwittingly in this warp.

Here is a example of a young person, who decided to buy the engine separately (read gemstone), chassis separately(read jeweller), sundry parts separately (read nuggets of information acquired randomly, the veracity of which is deplorable), assemble it together and then seek opinion from us why the solution was not giving the desired results!

Notwithstanding this mish-mash mix, there was clear communication sent back and forth each time to this client who, however due to some reason could not hear the voice of reason and kept holding on to a fragile twig each time. Here is the mail trail for you to follow and understand how the mind clouds out, even the simplest pieces of good information, when fate denies the opportunity for remedy.

(Mail Trail)

Doubting Thomas needed to experience the wound before he believed! And sometimes individuals need to go through fire before they can see light.

 

Communication with a Client who implemented Therapy with a poor quality heat treated Sapphire similar to the video above and got zero results. See the communication, check his certificate and never let such kind of a thing happen to you.

Hi. I have worn the gemstones prescribed by you for almost 3 years, but there hasn’t been any movement in my career. I bought the most expensive gemstones I can afford from a reputed jeweller. I am trying to get into fashion photography but have not made any headway as yet. I look forward to you suggestions. Moreover I’ve got my name changed from xxxxx (vvvvvvv was an experimental name) to xxxxxxxx just recently in my legal documents.

Observations:

Client specifies that he is wearing most expensive Gemstones.?

He specifies that these have been from a reputed jeweller.?

Hi. I got it tested from a lab in Lajpat Nagar. The stone was in the ring when they tested it. I don’t know what you’ll think of this report. This is the most I can do. I can’t send it to a gemology lab in Mumbai. It’s found to be an authentic natural sapphire. It should have worked to some extent.
Regards

 

Observations

Client who said in the first communication that his Gem is certified from GII and procured from a reputable jeweller now gets it certified from a 3rd lab and sends his certificate that clearly states that it is a thermally treated Sapphire but still continues…… Check his own certificate below. He wants to know what we at Gemstoneuniverse think of this report.

Client”s sapphire is Thermally enhanced Sapphire Clearly Stated by the Lab. Please click the link below to know more about what exactly a Jyotish Quality Gemstone is and never compromise on your Gem Quality.

Namaste,

Thank you for mailing Gemstone Universe. What do we think of this report:

It’s your gem, You got it tested, the certificate clearly states what it is. Even Mud and stones found on ground are natural. It fails the first basic touchstone of what a Jyotish Gemstone is. So how will a bogus treated gemstone work? It is a non gem quality material as per the Gemstone pyramid

To know more about what exactly is a Jyotish Quality Gemstone please click the link below:

To know how Gem therapy Fails please click the link below:

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/gemsdontwork.php

The Lab has detected Thermal enhancement and that itself renders this useless. The lab does not specify the kind of thermal enhancement. This generally happens in the following cases:

1) Lab does not have equipment for the same.

2) Individual sending the sample has especially not requested further information.

The following kinds of Thermal enhancements are available:

CE(LG) Clarity enhancement by heating: processed with lead(Pb) and other chemical elements-bearing glass in fissures and/or cavities. The unmounting is recommended in case of jewelry repair as heat, chemicals, and other factors may damage the stone.

RGC Extensive clarity enhancement by heating: significant amount of lead(Pb) and other chemical-bearing glass in fissures and/or cavities forming a composite. The unmounting is highly recomended in case of jewelry repair as heat, chemicals, and other factors can easily demage the stone.

CE(GR) Clarity enhancement by heating: fissures of the stone are filled with non-lead(Pb) chemical elements-bearing glass and/or substances solidified with re-crystallized corundum (“residues”).

CE(C/F) Clarity enhancement by heating: glassy foreign substances which can be dissolved by hydrofluoric acid are completely and/or partially filling a cavity/cavities. The “residues” (see above) are also within fissures.

ECE(C/F) Extensive clarity enhancement by heating: large undesirable cavities are completely filled with glassy foreign substances (see above). Fractures and fissures are also significantly filled with “residues” (see above).

HTLE Colour enhancement by heat treating with light elements such as beryllium, lithium, boron, etc. The resultant colour is permanent.

From the picture it is a clear HTLE Color stone heated with beryllium.

Hi. I can’t really trust the report of that lab, nor do I expect you to do it. I can send the gemstone with the ring for you guys to have a look at it. I can bet you that it’s a good quality stone. It has been enhanced to look attractive but not ‘thermally enhanced’.

Thank you for mailing Gemstone Universe. Enhancement means Gem does not qualify to be Jyotish Quality.

At Gemstoneuniverse we have a policy of not examining, appraising or giving our opinion on 3rd party goods.

If the Lab from which you have got it certified does not inspire trust in you, request you to engage services of one that does.

At Gemstoneuniverse we believe in service to planetary Gemology, delivering great solutions that work and doing good quality work.

Even though all the information that empowers you to implement Gem therapy correctly is there on the website, still we receive communication similar to the above wherein individuals implement therapy incorrectly. We hope this post shall cut down this communication and we shall be able to deliver more time to those individuals who are really passionate about Gemstone Therapy and who understand that import of the Karmic Life Map and to planetary Gemology.

The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Deo Amabiles Et Hominibus-Pleasing to God and to Men

Guard yourself against Useless Fake Pearls for Jyotish Gemstone Therapy-Don’t deceive yourself. Keshi Pearls, South Sea Pearls & Chinese Pearl are cultured and Non Natural Pearls.

 

A Sad event and several time wasting similar communication prompted this post. Last year a patron had taken a Gemstone recommendation from us. Her primary motive for reaching out to us was to bring some harmony in her marital life and relief from stress. Now she has Moon in Scorpio- a debilitating position discussed in detail by Guruji Shrii Arnav. You can access that resource at the link below:

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/planetarypositions.php

To cut a long story short, she was recommended to wear an unheated Yellow Sapphire and a Natural Pearl. This year June 2011 we hear from her saying:

I have been wearing Pearl and Yellow Sapphire as per your recommendation but things have gone bad to worse and my Husband has filed for a divorce

Now these Gemstones were not sourced from us. In most of these cases of failure and incorrect therapy we try to be as factual as possible and asked her to scan across her Gemstone certificates including the X Ray Radiography for the Pearl so that we could assess if she was actually wearing  Jyotish Quality Gemstones or not.

Her reply was: Do I need to get the radiography report now that He has already filed for Divorce?

We have hundreds of such case studies and we shall now be starting a section for the same!

But again request all of you the nth Time- Read the Article-Do Gemstones Work – No They Don’t for 90% of the People by Guruji Shrii Arnav and you shall find your solution there. If you read it a hundred times you shall get a new message that has the potential to alter the Karmik Life Map. Please click the link below to read the article:

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/gemsdontwork.php

Keeping our discussion short and crisp about these Pearls featured below. Check out the Video below  for the exhibits information. All these Pearls are imitation Pearls with zero value in Gem Therapy. They cannot be used for Moon energy. They will deliver absolutely zero results to be used as a Moon Gemstone. They are 100 % cultured imitation pearls. Cheap, beautiful but zero results.

To know more about what exactly is a Real Natural Pearl please click the resource below:

http://www.p-g-a.org/pearls.html

 

To be used in the sacred science of Jyotish and Planetary Gemology a Pearl has to be fully natural, made in nature by accident, full of lustre and not by irritating a living organism and calling it culture? Just visit a Pearl Farming area and see how surgery is performed on the mollusc and what extra things are done to increase yield. You will never wear or patronize these Pearls again.

Exhibit A

Keshi Pearl: A keshi pearl is a non-beaded pearl formed by accident as a by-product of a pearl culturing operation. Among all these Pearls this one is used by unethical traders citing it as original due to its irregular surface. Keshi has its use in jewellery but for planetary Gem therapy purposes it is useless. Some traders even go a bit further in their sales pitch and call it as a Burmese Pearl which again is not a natural pearl. We did a detailed story on Burmese Pearl and that can be found at the resource below:

http://gemstoneuniverse.com/blog/?s=burmese+pearl

 

Exhibit B

South Sea Pearl

A South Sea pearl is pearl produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk. They are currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, primarily in Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Myanmar. Unethical traders cite the dots on the Pearl or a protrusion to peddle it as Natural. Most auction sites will have vendors with the higesht quanity of cheap south sea pearl. They sell it calling it as Moti and 100% real. Ask for a X Ray certificate and these vendors shall vanish in thin air. This is the highest selling pearl by unethical elements.

Most of the south sea pearls are cultured and only a few rare ones-the miracles of nature are natural.

And if they are natural they will be accompanied with a X Ray Report  to find out if there are really natural or not.

 

Exhibit C

A cheap Chinese Tissue nucleated button Pearl. This is the most commercially abused Pearl quality especially in India. You can buy a Kilo of them for Rs. 1000($22), Yes 1 Kg for Rs.1000 should you reach the right source. Again it is not natural and Zero Value for planet moon.

Exhibit D

A Pearl Stand necklace from Hyderabad. Under the royal Patronage of the Nizams Hyderabad developed as a major Pearl centre. Pearls come in many shapes and of particular interest is the ‘rice-pearl’ – a tiny variety, available in great depth in Char Kaman, Gulzar Haouz and General Bazaar. Around 300 years ago there was a rich influx of Arabian Pearls in Hyderabad. But now Hyderabad is known for rice pearls. Most of the Natural Pearls have gone and what is traded are the above 3 varieties in the desolate hope to  cash on the fame of the past.  More than 99 percent of pearl coming is cultured pearl which again is cheap and is of no value as a Moon Gemstone. Here is what Wikipedia has to Say about Hyderabad Pearls.

In the village of Chandanpet just outside Hyderabad, almost the entire population is engaged in the delicate art of drilling pearls. A skill they have practiced for generations, making Hyderabad one of the largest drilling centres in India. Once the pearls are drilled, they are boiled for about four days to bleach them and rid them of their dark color. They are placed in glass bottles containing hydrogen peroxide, water and ether and sunned for four or five days in glass sun boxes with a mirror base. Finally they are washed and separated through series of different shapes and sizes.

Now are these natural?

Use these Pearls as Jewellery or as adornments. But don’t bluff yourself into believing that this cheap material will work. It will not.

Always wear a Natural Pearl to get good results from Gem therapy and Insist on a Certificate cum x ray report. That single report will cost more than all these exhibits put together. Everything in that video put together will cost less than a proper certification cum xray.

If you budget does not allow you to wear a Natural Pearl then opt for a Natural Blue Sheen Moonstone.  If your budget does not allow that too then wait and accumulate funds slowly for a Real natural Jyotish Quality Pearl -a miracle of nature capable of creating a miracle in your life. Don’t deceive yourself.

Issued in Public Interest and for the cause of Sacred Planetary Gemology.

Addendum on 29th July 2011

We have no idea whether she read this report or not but what is ironical and unfortunate is that in 11th July 2011 we received a scanned sheet of paper which she says is a certificate. This is no certificate. It is a paper that says something to the effect of – Sajha Moti Nu Praman Patra and goes on to say as per our opinion Pearl is real and all testing is done at Owner’s risk.

Excuse us, we do not want your opinion. We want the facts that you should state on the certificate after proper X-Ray diffraction tests. If you have a certificate similar to one she sent, you know what to do.

Scam Alert- Blatant Violations of Copyrights!

As with all else, there is the flipside of being on the World Wide Web and being the best at what you do, and that is the blatant disregard of ownership of / rights to content. Gemstoneuniverse provides patrons with not only top of the line products and services but also provides in-depth knowledge about everything that falls in the ambit of gem therapy and planetary gemology.

However it has come to our notice that there are sites such http://www.sriprasadbros.webs.com

, who have unscrupulously copied entire pages – copyrighted content, picture and what have you to their site. We would like you to know that gemstone universe operates out of the singular office premises at Bangalore in India. No other website/ person/ agent/ franchisee has the authorization or the rights to sell products using our name or on behalf of Gemstone Universe.

 

We shall not be responsible for any dealing made by people with such fraudulent parties. We request you to exercise caution and to let us know if you come across any such site/ individual, so that they can be brought to book. Gemstone Universe will take legal action against such violations.

It is a request to you dear patrons to help us fight such unethical elements. Knowledge of sacred Gemology is available to only a select few and application of it is even rarer. Do let us know if you find our content copied by others. This will go in a long way towards helping planetary gemology and keep unethical people for cheating others and more importantly prevent unethical people with no knowledge from hurting others.

Thank You dear Patron you have been an awesome resource for us and millions of others.

Update 29^th June 2011

Today we received a link that goes a bit further than just a blatant violation of copyrights. Look at the blog link of an individual who goes by the Name Rishi Goldsmith:

http://www.researchut.com/site/node/134

This blog copies Guruji Shrii Arnav’s defining work Do Gems work- No they don’t for 90% of the people. A classic piece of work that has touched countless lives in a positive manner and led to profound changes in the lives of the people worldwide!

Leave alone the fact that he does not mention that this work does not belong to him he has put it as its own , he is happy go lucky in making Gem recommendations?

No it’s not weird or distasteful. It makes one shudder to think that what kind of Gem recommendation this individual would  actually be churning out with borrowed information with the only contribution being a paste job.

The horror stories wherein Gems lead to medical conditions happen because of such distasteful things. Put your own life at risk but not the lives of others.

Be careful of such characters. They are abundant.

Thank You gracious patron!. You are a light worker!

Spoiler Alert!

As a web based product /service providing organization Gemstoneuniverse has always been very- very conscientious and has remained above board in its dealing with every single individual it takes on in the capacity of a ‘client’. However, spoiler alert sounded for us the first time when an individual went beyond the limits of propriety and engaged in disappointing behaviour despite due procedures at our end, in fact it has been a service where we have stretched our self and gone beyond the call of duty to ensure customer satisfaction.

It made us sit back and wonder whether a slogan similar to caveat emptor has been devised for the sellers/ service providers. The organization has been very straight, moving with a very linear perspective about our responsibility to our clients/ customers. This particular event of bad client attitude left a bad taste in the mouth.

It is not so surprising anymore to see the number of results Google throws up when you key in the term ‘Bad client’. In fact there is an important piece of wisdom given at the outset – One of the best ways to maintain good relationships with clients is to avoid the bad clients in the first place.  There are several indicators mentioned that are characteristic to a ‘bad client’.

At Gemstone Universe we begin with a belief in the goodness and sincerity of individuals we interact with and it is very much a part of the core values and culture followed within this organization.

Our impeccable record is there for one and all to see through testimonials of the multitude of clients. Also the volumes would not manifest without dedicated work and quality controls in place. Gemstone Universe was awarded Excellence in Exports Award from the Jewellers Association at its 36th General Body Meeting. This award is given to companies for excellence in business practices, exceptional product quality and the sheer range of clientele worldwide, the company caters to! Need we say more? Every product that is shipped out of here passes through stringent checks and control points to get the necessary certification. Please click here to go through Gemstone Universe’s certification process.  It is this process that endears us to our clients worldwide.

Also there is such a great degree of transparency in our dealings that many products get a mention on the blog with its description, exact cost and the patron location. There’s practically nothing to hide. You could calculate our taxes if you kept tabs on our sales! Go for it.

We do believe that we do good work and it is definitely unsettling for our competitors and enough to stir up a fair amount of insecurity. There will always be someone hacking away at your roots if you are doing something worthwhile.

We do encounter bad eggs, who are just sniffing around for information. But much to their dismay, the technical, legal and technological arm at gemstone universe is sound and has systems and devices in place to ensure tracking of individuals with malicious intent and bring them to justice. Detailed records of all communication are maintained for reference.

Then there are also people who try to pose as buyers and are in turn looking for a kill by selling products further on auction websites. We would like to inform you that no third party has the rights to sell Gemstone Universe products. We have no franchisees or agents or dealer.

Cases where we reserve the right in not taking on an Individual as a client/patron

The sheer volume of work that we do and the results we deliver means that we have to optimize our time and the time of a professional is very valuable and limited. We have to give our best to our clients who have reposed faith in us.

GIA Conducts exclusive workshop at Gemstoneuniverse

In such a scenario, there are some cases where we feel that flaws can creep into our perfect process, which is unacceptable by our standards. These are some example cases below where the management committee decides not to accept an order. This decision is final and no further communication is encouraged in this regard.

Time reply rate to an e mail at our organization is a minimum 3 minutes average to a maximum 14 hours unless there are special cases that require more consideration, and these are personalized replies. To be able to do all this we would need to make a choice!

Some example cases wherein the order is not accepted:

You type in 1000 words for a question and a reply of 500 words is unacceptable.

(Well, the less said the better. There is a resource wherein we clearly explain about the quality of your question. This resource can be accessed by clicking here). Everybody communicates differently. If your benchmark is the word count program rather than quality of the communication you need to make a different choice).

Changing an active sentence to passive or direct to indirect again and again is not our style of communication. Verbose answers do not imply effective solution. Vedic astrology has very exact answers for specific questions. If you are looking for spiels or lengthy expositions, you should be looking out for a counselling session or discourses!

You Order a 1 question report and your question reads – Please tell me about my career for the next 10 years.

You forward our recommendation and report to several consultants without our permission, compromising on several important data that we would not like to be shared. Similarly you forward the recommendations of other consultants to us. We see this as a BIAS causing information that will surely shove objectivity required out of the window!

You order a report once and using the same report code you keep on asking fresh questions.

You order an entry level Emerald from the website wherein there is an accurate picture and the description reads 85% clarity levels and then you send a mail that reads: I just completed my order. I hope to receive my eye clean emerald very soon.

Most of your Astrology Information or Gemstone information is based on online research and you have no idea about Divisional charts or color/ tonal quality of the Gemstone and still would like to keep discussing your information.

In such cases, it becomes amply clear to the management that you do not understand what we exactly do and do not value the time of a professional.

In similar cases we will not take you on as a client/ patron.

This is to ensure that we provide flawless products and services that lead to flawless results and those who are genuine patrons get the maximum attention.

Much as we value your patronage, our value and dedication to our patrons and the value addition that we bring to the world of Planetary Gemology forces us to make this choice. We wish you well in life.

Gemstoneuniverse- Precious Gemstones for Precious People

 

Help! My Astrologer says that my Emerald has become white because it has prevented big accident yoga and the Jeweller says that the Emerald has soaked up all my negativity-The Gemstone Pyramid and the truth about Indian Taste Ka Ghatiya Maal- Things we don’t like and you shouldn’t either.

BUYER BEWARE!-Scam Alert!

In our day to day practice we meet several individuals, who make statements similar to the one above. An interesting case happened last week wherein one customer said that that his Emerald has become white after one year of usage. When he reported it to his Astrologer the latter said that the Gem has prevented big accident yoga and made you safe. He next went to the Jeweller who had been recommended by his Astrologer. The Jeweller said that this was nothing new for him and he has seen several cases where a good gemstone had soaked up all negativity from the body!

Well, it is an outright scam and this particular nexus of the Astrologer and the Jeweller is at best an UNHOLY ALLIANCE. Time to change both!

Let us begin with telling you about the global perception. A shocking and demeaning statement was made by a Gemstone intermediary in Bangkok that opened our eyes. Now, this gentleman has been trading and acting like an intermediary (taking Gemstone parcels) from one office to another and has no gemological knowledge. Nada. None, except that he takes a parcel from one dealer at $X and sells to another at $X+10%. At an International Gem and Jewellery show he approached one of the team members and said that he had top quality Emeralds.

Well, the next logical step was to ask him to show his goods. The parcel he opened was of a non gem grade beryl rough heavily treated with Joban-Color dyed oil (more about this later). Showing them and with a big grin says: “Only $1(INR 45) per carat emerald for 1000 carats, Top Quality Indian Taste Ka Ghatiya Maal “ (Literally translated: specific material for Indian Taste consumer/ jeweller who seeks out the cheapest low non gem grade material, and this stuff ranks highest in that category).

Our response made him disappear in less than 30 seconds but the revelation about the Indian Jewelers  taste and the sweeping Generalization about the consumer preference spoilt our entire day.

A Glorious Past

This is the country that has given the world most prized gemstones in the world and Indians have had taste for the best gemstones throughout the ages.  There was a time when in India Diamonds below the weight of 3 carats were not even valued and traded for they had no time. They were occupied in grading and trading of Diamonds above 3 carats! -this is a historical fact. Do read Tavernier’s travels in India and you will know about the glorious Gem culture of this great country.

Reality Dawns

The above low- cost non-gem grade material is bought by unethical jewellers at $5( INR 225) per carat and then retailed to consumers  who have been recommended to wear a 5 carat emerald by the Astrologer at a price point of $22-$44 per carat( INR 1000-INR 2000) per carat. No wonder people are seen wearing a 5 carat Emerald for a net price of $110/-. Removal of accident and negativity is of course free! The mathematics of sourcing gems at cost $1 and selling at a price of $ 44 – Whoa! this is too cool a business!

Industry statistics reveal that India is the largest market for non- gem grade, low-grade gem material and most of the scrap is imported into India. Please see the Gemstone pyramid (Highlighted area makes up the majority of Indian market). Most of the discarded goods reach India.

Jyotish quality Gemstones would be top grade or high grade, not lesser.

How the Emerald/Yellow Sapphire becomes white.

Non Gem Grade Beryl sold as Natural emerald and became white after a use of an Year

The stone in the picture above is not a gemstone. It is Non-Gem Grade beryl that has been treated with Joban.  Joban is green colored oil- Oil that has been made green by adding a plant based dye. This is the most common treatment of choice in commercial grade goods coming from India and sold in India.

Leave alone Jyotish even in the Gem Trade it is considered as an UNETHICAL treatment. The green oil seeps into the white non gem grade ore to make it look like a beautiful Emerald. Eventually with normal usage the oil dissipates leaving what the mineral actually is. When the consumer is perplexed by the change in the stone,  he is taken for another ride by the Astrologer who hands him out a candy by saying the color evaporated and has saved you from a major accident and by the jeweller who says that it has absorbed all negativity and that’s why it has become white.  Producers of these goods justify Joban Treatment by saying; It is just like the make-up your wife puts on. (A demeaning statement that could spell trouble eitherway!)

Any reputed Gem Lab will identify this treatment and make an entry in the report as Code: T-Joban

Outright Fraud!

Low grade Yellow Sapphire that became white in 3 months.

Again, the above is a stone- but not a gemstone. It is a low grade yellow sapphire from Sri Lanka that combines two treatments. One is dyeing with material that has got the same Refractive Index as the mineral and second by irradiation with Cobalt 60. Just exposure to strong sunlight will make the color leave the gemstone leaving what you are seeing-Scrap!

Yes, there are Gemstones that are sensitive to light (Light Sensitive Gemstones) such as one member of the Quartz Family-Amethyst. A natural Amethyst may show fading of color when exposed to strong Sunlight but the above two samples are outright frauds.

India-The sacred Land of the Navaratnas!

India is the land that has given this world the sacred and powerful science of Navaratnas and their profound impact on Human life. Yes there are miracle cases where a Blue Sapphire becomes cracked by preventing a real time accident and saving a life but none of the sacred Navaratnas/ sacred nine gemstones- Ruby, Natural Pearl, Red Coral, Emerald, Yellow Sapphire, Diamond/ White Sapphire, Blue Sapphire, Hessonite and Cat’s Eye change color or become white if they are natural, untreated and Jyotish Quality!

Never ever wear a poor quality Gemstone. The Sacred Garuda Purana says:

If an individual wears a Gemstone that has many flaws even out of ignorance then he will be tormented by grief, loss of wealth, anxiety, illness and evils of many Kinds.

-Garuda Purana (70.9)

Next time if somebody tells you that your Emerald has become white because it has prevented a big accident yoga and the Jeweller says that the Emerald has soaked up all the negativity-YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Raktambar Neelam- An irresponsible advice and information about one of the most dangerous gemstones of the world-The Khooni Neelam or the Rakthmukhi Neelam-The Blue Sapphire capable of causing death!

A couple of weeks back the Gemstoneuniverse team received an e mail that reads :

My  *** has been suffering heavy loss in business for past 7 years. Almost from riches to rags! We have approached an expert astrologer and he suggested my father to wear raktambar neelam. We are from *****.We have searched almost 20 shops but we could not get the raktambar neelam, Astrologer says it’s reddish sapphire. We found finally naturally purple sapphire available in above 6 ratti. My question is raktambar Neelam available? If at all, where? Is it suggestible to substitute purple sapphire for raktambar Neelam as it has reddish glow in sapphire? Please advice as soon as possible!

(Note: Areas blanked out to protect privacy.)

At the very outset I would like to state that there is nothing known in this world as Raktambar Neelam – neither in the Shastras – sacred texts, nor in the normal and ethical gem trade. It seems that this term has been coined to take individuals for a solid ride or maybe this is a case wherein the consultant is plain misinformed and in all likelihood, the person making this recommendation is no expert.

The word Raktambar it is a composite of two words: Rakt ( meaning Blood) and Ambar( meaning sky). Hence Raktambar in context of the stone would translate into a Gemstone having a Blood Red Shade. Raktambar Neelam would translate into a Blue Sapphire having a Blood Red Color. Kindly note that the word Neelam is used to characterize the Blue of a Blue Sapphire. Fancy term this “Rakthambar”

Now from a Gemologists viewpoint there are Red Sapphires and Pink Sapphires in this world but they are NOT Blue Sapphires/ Neelam.

“Once in a while Ruby is defined as corundum that’s colored mainly by Chromium, a metallic element incorporated into the mineral as an impurity. Dr. Horst Krupp, a mineralologist and dealer, says he determines if a stone is a ruby with the aid if a spectroscope, an instrument which measures how the stone absorbs light. If a reddish corundum stone shows lines in the spectroscope indicating the color is clearly coming from the presence of chromium, then he calls it a ruby; otherwise he calls it a red sapphire. He was taught to define rubies this way at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. ”

Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald buying guide by Renee Newman GG, MA

It would be sensible to stop wasting precious time searching for this elusive Raktambar Neelam and after reading this you definitely may want to reconsider your choice of consultant!

So what actually is a Khooni Neelam/ Rakthmukhi Neelam or Rakthmukhi Neela:

It is one of the most dangerous gemstones in this world. Yes, there are others that are even more dangerous but this makes it to the group of death or more aptly cursed Gemstones of the world.

A Khooni Neelam literally means a Neelam/Blue Sapphire capable of causing bloodshed. Khooni means murderous.  A Khooni Neelam is a Blue Sapphire that has Red colored feather like inclusions, or red colored, dot like inclusions or has a Bluish Red Shade.  This Blue Sapphire is supposed to give rapid gains to the individual including tremendous inflow of wealth, name and success and it is promoted like that. There are individuals who at the time of desperation find these fancy hooks terribly attractive.

It is called Khooni Neelam because it will give death – that is certain. To some people whom it suits, there may be temporary gains that may give the illusion that you are travelling at the speed of light but the ultimate result is Death. I have personally known two cases where this has happened. In one case it happened instantly – Within one day of wearing and in another case after 5 years of wearing.

The whole family was wiped out in an accident. So whatever reason somebody tells you, Saturn Mars’s conjunction or Saturn Rahu conjunction – Never ever use this gemstone that is Khooni Neelam. Never put your life at risk and the lives of your loved ones at risk.

In this business called life you will have profits and losses but till you are alive, the almighty shall give you the resources, intelligence and talent to tide over a time frame that may appear unfortunate but never ever try a Khooni Neelam. And the individual, who is advises you to try it- is not your friend.

One of the famous Cursed Gemstones of the World is the Delhi Purple Sapphire.

Heron Allen cursed amethyst-The Delhi Purple Sapphire

Called as the Delhi purple sapphire this one is actually an Amethyst better known as the Heron-Allen amethyst, that was looted during the Indian mutiny in  1855 and brought to Britain. Everyone who owned the amethyst since that time suffered disaster and misfortune. According to Edward Heron-Allen, a scientist, friend of Oscar Wilde and the amethyst’s last owner., owner of the stone from 1890, it was ‘cursed and stained with blood’. After  discovering its sinister history he gave it to his bank with instructions for it not to be opened until three years after his death.

Heron-Allen claimed to have been so disturbed that he had surrounded the amethyst with supposedly protective charms and sealed it inside seven boxes before  leaving it to the museum in his will. His letter concluded: “Whoever shall then open it, shall first read out this warning, and then do as he pleases with the jewel. My advice to him or her is to cast it into the sea”

This is also my advice should you come across the Khooni Neelam

A small prayer for you, which you should also recite for yourself, your loved ones and the whole universe

Sarve bhavantu sukhinah= may all be happy
Sarve santu niramayah= may all be free from disease
Sarve bhadrani pashyantu = may all see good and auspicious in everything.
Ma kaschit duhkha bhaag bhaveet- may none be unhappy or in distress
Om shantih, shantih, shantih-Om peace, peace, peace!

With Love and Prayers,

I remain

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Give me your rock bottom price – Sure, but before you ask us to do that, do read up on the Sapphire demand and how fine quality gemstones are free from any recession.

(Note: A recent conversation on our online chat support has prompted this post. )

Q: I Need a Yellow Sapphire of 5+ carat weight, give me your rock bottom price.

A: Whatever is Jyotish Quality is already listed on the website. Please check the online inventory. Prices that are stated there stand good as they are!

In one of the earlier Blog posts,  we had stated that the online messenger service is run by professional PGA Graduates who are highly trained resources and why we value our time and your time, still some days are not so smooth.

On these bad hair days, we receive people chatting under different aliases but with the same IP address asking the same question nth time and some have the audacity to even let us know that if all information is on the website what is the use of the online messenger service . And some force us to write blog posts about domestic shipping rates and reinvent the wheel!

Keeping our discussion regarding Sapphire sales, recession has not hit demand or supply of fine quality gemstones. Fine quality Gemstones are still in heavy demand.

All major auctions have recorded strong sales and this can be viewed from the Table Excerpted from Rapaport Magazine below. Public  Auction Sales for December 2009.

Fine quality Ceylon Sapphires continue to sell at $5000 per carat and above and these prices are not going to go down. These are only going to go up. Quality, rarity, fine color and lack of treatment have had value since centuries and will continue to do so. These are public auctions.

Please note the following facts:

- 1) We deal only in Jyotish Quality Gemstones! We do not deal in opaque rocks that don’t work. So if you want a $50 per carat clean Yellow Sapphires, you need to put that application to the almighty only!  For such miracles you need to turn to the right avenue.

-2) We don’t claim. We Mean it. Over the year you have seen several lots and our own roughs that we feature here on the blog. When we say we make you available the best Gemstones at 1/6^th of the price we mean it because we own our own roughs! Your Gemstone has a lifetime buy back guarantee and you have independent certification and appraisal. If still your mind has the capacity to manufacture some permutations and combination’s, good luck!

-3) We understand that discerning patrons have some special demands. Demands for a Basra Pearl or a 6+ Carat Jyotish Quality Emerald qualify on this. But these valuable patrons have built trust and relationships with us over several years and clearly state their requirements, make a deposit for the same and wait patiently. The Basra Pearl featured yesterday was result of such a patient search that lasted 2+ years.

-4) Every Sapphire you buy from Gemstoneuniverse will appreciate in value over time and will deliver results. But more than that you will get the promised, Jyotish Quality results of Sattvik Gemstone!

We are here for you; We are here for planetary Gemology!

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com

Oh you live in West Bengal, Assam or Orissa. We think we can say what gemstones you are wearing without even looking at your hands, and, yes we do not have esp. abilities- Individuals residing in these States beware of a scam in the name of planetary Gemology.

India is the mother of the sacred science of Planetary Gemology. This is the only developed system of Gem recommendation that has such an extensive methodology and wherein the results obtained sometimes are phenomenal.

Ask some of those individuals who have experience d the  power of a real Blue Sapphire or a real Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl and you will get some wonderful stories about how strange events after wearing the Gemstone bough about a desirable change in several aspects of life.

At Gemstoneuniverse, Planetary Gemology is a passion and it pains us when we see a blatant abuse of Gem Therapy.

That brings us to the subject of Gem recommendations in the states of West Bengal, Assam, Orissa. It’s a pity that such things happen in areas that were once the seat of Indian tantra.

The top 3 bluff gemstones worn by individuals in West Bengal, Assam or Orissa:

1) Hessonite- Also called as Gomedh or Gomedhaka.

2) Pearl- Also called as Moti

3) Red Coral also known as Moonga

The 4^th spot is a close fight between a huge color dyed Yellow Sapphire or a grey colored Cat’s Eye Quartz.

This bring us to question several things the chief among them would be:

1) How come 90% of the people in these states manage to get the same gemstone recommendation.

2) How come none of them ever question the quality of the recommendation or the gemstone.

As per a survey conducted by us neither people were confident about talking about the results they experienced after wearing these gemstones neither there were any positive events after implementation of this therapy.

The answer to his question is mass commercialization and the unholy nexus between bluff Astrologers and equally unethical Jewellers.

As they say , a picture speaks a thousand words, Here are some sample of Gemstones worn by individuals in name of planetary Gemology. Next time you are travelling to these states or have a friend from any of these states have a look at the stones (yes stone, they are not wearing gemstones), 99.99% you will see stones of which pictured are produced below.

Bluff Gomedh/Hessonite

Sold on an auction website as 4.34 carats Natural Gomed Hessonite Rashi Gem for Rahu.  Certified Stone.

When we talk about Jyotish Quality Stones we talk about clarity and lack of treatment. This is nowhere a Jyotish Quality Gemstone. It is an ugly rock and not a beautiful gemstone. Can you see any light passing through the dense mineral matrix! Look for marks on the surface and lack of lustre/ polish. This is a sample of mineral Hessonite Mined  in Gaya in Bihar.

Bluff Pearl/Cultured Pearl

Listing on an auction website as Huge 14.20 carats Pearl (Moti): Stone for Moon. Very Good results of Chandra.

The Value of this pearl is not even INR 20/$.40. This is a bluff cultured pearl. The strangest way pearl therapy is implemented in these states is that we get to get Individuals wearing Pearls in Index finger/ ring finger/ Little finger.

You must click here to read about what exactly real Natural Pearls are and also check some of the talismans on the blog. This Pearl will not give any results for Moon.

And yes, we get some queries from People who call up and ask whether a 12.25 ratti Pearl is available as He has been recommended one by his Astrologer.

To explain what a natural pearl is to this individuals would be like re-inventing the wheel

A) A Good Astrologer who knows gemstones never makes recommendation in Rattis.

b) If a Natural pearl of 12.25 rattis or more would be available it value would be able to fetch 2-3 prime properties in any of the CBD’s any part of the Globe.

Please wear a Clear Moonstone instead of wearing a fake pearl.

Synthetic Coral from Taiwan

The third abused Gemstone is Red Coral. In these states it is generally observed that Red Coral is worn in ring finger in Gold, Silver or copper. Most importantly the sizes are huge and the certificate does not read Organic Coral. Most of these Corals are sourced from Taiwan and are synthetic and of very poor value.

See Sample Below:

Listed on a Auction website as Red Coral/ Moonga/ Rashi ratna for Mars/ 6.25 ratti.

A fight for the 4^th place is a close one between huge 5+ carats Dyed Yellow Sapphire and a Grey colored Quartz Cat’s eye.

What is the truth?

1) None of the gems listed above are anywhere Jyotish Quality.

2) All of them are poor quality products.

3) The cost of procuring this inventory is very low.

4) There is an unholy network between non qualified Astrologers and Jewellers.

5) We see this daily day in day out-still we could not figure out why everyone is wearing the same kind of gemstones.

Please be careful while purchasing these goods in the name of Vedic Gemstone Therapy. Vedic Planetary Gemology is a very powerful science and since time immemorial individuals have used the power of gemstones to achieve their goals and for realization of their desires!

Things we don’t like and you shouldn’t either- The Coral-Red/White that you are wearing might just be a Camel Bone or plastic and has no Jyotish Value. Scam watch alert. Cases leading to failure of Gemstone therapy!

Natural Organic Japanese Organic Red Coral of 4.34 carats.Ventral and Dorsal Views to show wood grain effect. Gemstoneuniverse.com

In recent times we have come across Corals both white and red those are not corals at all. These are sold on various auctions websites and some astrology websites and we actually paid to procure them to unearth this sham.

What is a Coral?

Corals are actually the skeletal remains of a marine polyp. The fleshy skin polyps secrete a carbonic substance from which Coral grows like branches and trees in the warm waters of the ocean at a depth ranging from 10 feet to 500 feet.

Around 95% of the Coral is made up of Calcium Carbonate, around 3 % of magnesium carbonate and trace elements of iron.

There is heavy demand for organic Red Coral from Japan as it has the characteristic Bright Red Uniform color often referred to as the Mediterranean Ox Blood Color as this is much desired.

Heavy Demand leads to a Scam

Recently, we found out that some unethical elements are buying Camel Bone, bleaching it to make it pure white and then dyeing it with Red Dye and finally wax filling it and coating it to produce Red Coral Simulants that are being sold as Red Corals to unsuspecting public. These are priced anywhere from $2(INR 90) per carat $20(around INR 1000) per carat.

Please be aware that these are not Red Corals at all leave alone organic red Corals produced in the sea and have no Jyotish Value and will not deliver the planetary results of Mars. When we contacted many of the sellers on the auction website to ask about the organic nature of the Coral and why it was priced so low- We received Zero, yes Zero replies from the seller.

How to differentiate Real Organic Japanese Red Coral from a Fake One!

The answer lies in the nature. Generally the Ventral/Top side of the Coral is highly polished and is free from any marks or indentations. However the dorsal side/back side of the Japanese Red Coral has the characteristic tell tale wood grain effect- line/lines-white or brown in color, groove pits and striations.

Featured here in this picture is a fine Japanese Red Coral from our collection of fine Natural Planetary Gemstones and Talismans that has both the Ventral and Dorsal Views that will make the marks of nature quite clear. If the dorsal side of the Coral is virtually free from any marks you can be assured 99% of the time that it is not a natural Coral!

Please ensure that when purchasing a Red Coral the certificate should read Natural Organic Red Coral.

What is a Jyotish Quality Coral?

Jyotish quality Red Coral should be

- Fully Natural and organic. Precious Biogenic material!

- Created in the sea by marine polyp.

- Be free from any dyeing or wax filling.

- Should have even color.

- AND SHOULD NOT BE A CAMEL BONE OR PLASTIC.

We remain dedicated to the sacred art of planetary Gemology and our patrons.
