The connoisseur who really understands gems and their power de facto stands apart. It is the choice made that vouches for this fact.
Validating this fact is the gem featured today – a Stunning Natural Imperial Golden Yellow Topaz of 5.84 carats set in 22-karat gold as a Jupiter Talisman ring. The flawless natural beauty from the Ouro Preto mining belt in Brazil is completely treatment free. The Imperial golden yellow topaz is super lustrous and has excellent clarity.
The connoisseur has chosen to fittingly have the gem set in 22 karat gold and that has worked wonders – accentuating the beauty of the emerald cut gem . The gem is a part of the new lot Regalia 2012 available online. Read more about this lot by clicking here.
Imperial golden yellow topaz is the substitute gem for natural Yellow sapphire or pukhraj stone. It is the gemstone of Jupiter / Guru/ Brihaspati and is use to harness his benevolent energies.
A buyer must be wary and must verify origin and genuineness of the gemstone. Often citrine (and that too treated in some manner) is palmed off to the unsuspecting buyer and that is not capable of giving jyotish results. To read more about this click here.

Bringing Hope and Dignity – Concrete Steps Towards a Genuine Cause
It was an effort that began about 6 months ago – a truly worthy cause. The Jewellers Association, Bengaluru (JAB) started an initiative to provide housing for senior citizens with mental disabilities, who are often abandoned and go through terrible times for the wont of care or attention in their sunset years.
Sai Sunshine, aptly named, was inaugurated on January 29th, 2012 amid beaming faces and eyes lit with hope. Astro Journey and Gemstoneuniverse are happy to be associated with such a cause.
JAB already runs an initiative called Sai Vrindavan, which is also a home for the elderly and differently-abled.
Here are some snapshots from the event.

Huge News- Gemstoneuniverse makes rare Basra pearls available to its patrons-The Gemstoneuniverse value advantage
Pearls have forever fascinated the human eye. An organic gem made painstakingly by the mollusc over many years and found only by the discerning in the depths of waterbodies, it hold special charm with its characteristically gentle appearance. With no sharp edges, the edge is taken off from the beholder’s vision too and all that remains is a tender appreciation of this mellow miracle of nature.
The ingenious invention of Kokichi Mikimoto, who is also known as the father of the modern pearl farming gave the world of pearls a new twist. Today the markets are awash with cultured pearls so fine! It is no longer a rarity.
One could however look at it this way – Because the cultured pearls are available aplenty, the true value of natural pearls has come to the fore outlinging its rarity and value and benefits.
What are Basra Pearls?
Pearls originating from the Persian / Arabian Gulf have a legendary reputation in the world of gems. Famously known as the Basra pearls, these have enthralled many a pearl aficionados. The city of Al Basrah or Basra in modern day Iraq, was a bustling hub in the yesteryears where Pearl trade was concerned. The name that the pearls got was from the trading center and not because they originated there. These pearls are ones that have been harvested from the Persian Gulf off the coast of countries like, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, United Arab Emirates etc.
The main species of oyster in the Persian Gulf producing these pearls are Pinctada radiata (Gulf pearl oyster), and to a lesser extent around the species Pinctada margaritifera (Black-lip pearl oyster). However the Basra Pearl supply has dwindled greatly ever since the oil industry boom in the Arab countries.
The Basra pearls are a highly valued and treasured species.These pearls have a featured in recorded history as far back in time as 300 BC. The Basra pearls available nowadays are far and few in between. Most are characterised by irregular shape and a yellowish tint. Some have a distinctly pinkish tint too. Since most reaching the markets are from old family treasures, they are drilled pearls that have been disengaged from a strand.
Natural Basra pearls, especially undrilled ones with silvery –white color and round /spherical shape are rare and extremely precious. In Vedic astrology, there is great power attributed to the Natural pearl. And there are old timers who swear by the effects of the Basra pearl like no other, and when it is a Basra in question, the shape of the pearl almost becoems inconsequential, so long as it is THAT NATURAL BASRA pearl. So powerful and effective is the basra pearl that legends speak that just to view a real Basra pearl is extremely good fortune. These wondrous rarities have the power to do miracles.
Certification of Basra Pearl
In July 2008, the a new state-of-the-art pearl and gem testing and grading laboratory was opened in the Kingdom of Bahrain – a nation that takes special intesrest in the development of natural pearl industry. This new lab is specialised in testing and grading natural pearls to ensure they are distinct from cultured ones.
Interestingly, Bahrain is the only country in the world, which bans importing or trading in cultured pearls. Prohibitive laws were passed follwing directives from the kingdom’s leadership.The new lab is also specialised in testing and grading gems, issuing world-standard certificates that are accredited regionally and internationally.

Trade bodies have been trying to weed out the ambiguities from the pearl trade too, so that nothing else can masqurade as Basra pearls in a market where unscrouplous ones are looking to make a kill because of lack of knowledge and organised, standardized norms.
Cohesive trade movement
In the recent developments, with regard to Pearl industry and Basra pearl in particular, CIBJO’s Pearl Commission discussed the terminology used to describe different types of pearls and agreed that amendments need to be defined to increase transparency in the industry and for the public.
For example, where place names are mentioned in connection with natural pearls, it was recommended that an article governing the use of such terminology be created. For example, a “Basra Pearl” would refer specifically to a natural pearl from the Arabian Gulf.
CIBJO is the French acronym for the Confédération Internationale de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfèvrerie, des Diamants, Perles et Pierres, which translates as the International Confederation of Jewellery, Silverware, Diamonds, Pearls and Stones (normally shortened to the International Jewellery Confederation).
Founded in 1926 as BIBOAH, a European organisation whose mission was to represent and advance the interests of the jewellery trade in Europe, it was reorganised in 1961 and renamed CIBJO, in 2009 it was once again reorganized and officially named “CIBJO, The World Jewellery Confederation”. Today CIBJO, which today has a global focus and efforts, is domiciled in Switzerland.
Epitome of Luxury
Featured below are two prized specimens of utter gandeur and luxury to give you an idea of how dear the Basra pearl was to the Royalty of yore!
The two pictures are from the treasures of the Maharaja of Baroda’s (the Gaekwad dynasty) kitty
One is a circular canopy, 1.2 meters in diameter that is studded with around 500,000 pearls. And not just any pearls, but fine Basra pearls, found naturally in the Persian Gulf. The canopy is embellished with sapphires, emeralds, rubies and diamonds too.
Bejewelled Indian canopy to be auctioned New York
At a recent auction by Sotheby’s the canopy fetched a whopping 10.3 crores.
The other image is a Pearl carpet is said to be ten and one half feet long by six feet wide, and to be made up of strings of Basra pearls, except that a border, eleven inches wide, and also center ornaments, are worked out in diamonds. According to estimates over 2.2 million Basra pearls and beads have been used to decorate the field.
In the carpet which also has other gemstones, the total estimated weight of the pearls is 30,000 carats. The designs worked in the rosettes are set with approximately 2,500 table cut and occasional rose cut diamonds, approximately 350-400 carats in total, all set in silver topped gold or possibly blackened gold; the motifs are further enhanced with foil backed rubies, emeralds and sapphires set in gold!

Comments
The Blue Sapphire is a phenomenal gemstone. Aside of myths and legends that shroud this enigmatic gem, each stone has a different feel and a different story to say.
Featured today is a beautiful Natural Ceylonese Blue sapphire, the kind whose color is reminiscent of a mid summer night sky with the cicadas giving the background score! And what a feel good factor it is. When you combine a feeling of bliss and a life of depth, this is what you get.
This enchanting 2.38 carat, deep sky blue color cushion cut gem from the Ratnapura mines of Sri Lanka has been set in Sterling silver as a Blue Sapphire Saturn Talisman Ring. Note the uniformly spread color and brilliance and lustre of the gem.
Blue sapphire or neelam is the gemstone of Lord Saturn / Shani and a talisman made of Blue sapphire duly consecrated and energized can beget the wearer manifold benefits from a well placed Saturn in the brith chart.

Coronation of the Grandmaster of Karmic Retribution – an honor for Gemstoneuniverse
The New Year starts bringing new hopes and giving everyone a huge canvas to paint on. The old year 2011 is now past. It was an eventful year at Gemstoneuniverse with a number of achievements but the biggest feather in its cap was the phenomenal event on the December 24, 2011.
With the grace of the Almighty, Gemstoneuniverse presented a new jewel encrusted crown to Lord Saturn / Shanidev, at the Shri Shaneeshwara Swamy Sannidhi, next to the Sri Kailasha Vaikunta Mahakshethra in Rajajinagar.

The 12 feet high Imposing idol of Lord Saturn
The new crown encrusted with an exceptional Ceylonese Blue sapphire was mounted on the 12 feet high deity on the day of Shaneeshwari amavasya.
It was quite a while before Gemstoneuniverse could zero in, on just the right gem that would be befitting of the glorious deity. And when it was found – Ah! What a gem! A silky cornflower Blue color Sapphire from the Ratnapura mines was the one that finally made the cut. At 2.66 carats, the stunning gem overpowered all else to become the ‘crowing glory’ of Shani Mahatma himself.
Invocation of Deities
The Yagna in progress
The diety was duly decked with in the alankaar ceremony. Later, the coronation was carried out after elaborate yagnas and homas performed to Lord Ganesha, the deity only with whose blessings all good things commence, the navagrahas whose play is what we call life, and Lord Saturn himself. The coronation culminated with Guruji Shri Arnav offering the final oblations to the fire and offering the magnificent crown to the deity.

It makes us feel immensely blessed, for when one goes to a temple – offerings are made to the lotus feet of the deities, or may be flowers offered to the hands; in this case, the grandmaster of karmic retribution has allowed us the grace, to reach out and rest a crown for him! Not an everyday happening, we’d say!
