New Lot of Natural Blue Moonstone – Shaleen 2013

Shaleen 2013

The word Shaleen in Hindi is an adjective used to describe an individual with impressive and amazing grace, poise and elegance. This is exactly what these lovely blue moonstones convey by their appearance. Here’s presenting the new lot SHALEEN 2013, of natural and treatment free blue moonstone. Truly representative of the lunar energies, these blue moonstones are breath taking and very potent tool of planetary gem therapy.

These natural and treatment free blue moonstones come from the island of Serendib, currently known as the island of Srilanka. The cabochon cut gems have fantastic clarity and superb schiller – The adularescence is what makes this blue moonstone so distinct from the myriad other moonstones that are generally more translucent – cloudy in appearance. There is also a watery appeal that identifies strongly with moon energies. Blue moonstone is the upratna for natural pearl and is the gemstone of planet Moon. Blue moonstone is known as chandrakant mani in Hindi.

The new lot of Blue moonstones comes after a long spell. Some of you may have even noted non-availability of a jyotish quality blue moonstone at www.gemstoneuniverse.com for a while. Please note that not every gem makes the cut as a jyotish gemstone and we at Gemstoneuniverse believe in giving you nothing but the most genuine and best jyotish gems. Every gem is handpicked and unless it meets the stringent criteria, it is invariably rejected.

This despite the fact that we carry thousands of Blue Sheen Moonstones in the Gemstoneuniverse Buying Division we rejected around 200 odd lots to get the Perfect Jyotish Quality Moonst0nes that will work exceptionally for Moon Energies. Some of the lots that we rejected were priced 3-4 times the price of indiviual fine gems made available to you dear patrons.

We would also like to use this post to inform our dear patrons that Natural Untreated Treatment Free Yellow Topaz the uparatana for Jupiter is also undergoing similar equations. We are trying our best but we cannot guarantee a set date when these will be available. What we can guarantee is that you will get a Top Quality Jyotish Gemstone at 1/6th of the price. If a Gemstone does not qualify to be a Jyotish Gemstone it shall not be listed at Gemstoneuniverse.com online inventory.

This new lot of gems is a result of assiduous search and patient waiting period.

Each gem of SHALEEN 2013

– Is natural and treatment free

– Is from Srilanka

– Is cut en cabochon

– Has a notable adularescence

– Has radiant lunar planetary energies

– Has great healing potential

– Is fantastic jyotish quality

– Comes at a time when Blue Moonstones are increasingly becoming difficult to procure

– Comes at a very attractive price point

So what are you waiting for? Get yourself one, before this lot also sells out.

Did You Witness a Miracle – Exploring the Wonderful World of Gems and More…

Did You Witness a Miracle – Exploring the Wonderful World of Gems and More…

Natural Colombian Emerald

“Vivo de milagro en milagro.

They live from a miracle to another miracle. This is what the gem traders of Colombia say (of course these are the small ones for whom every sale, of every single gem matters as it fuels the kitchen fires). While it is a simple yet eloquent way of putting forth the truth, there is also a depth that cannot be ignored.

Miracles happen in each one’s life. However there is a sense of entitlement with which human beings anticipate and approach outcomes. It is because of this the miracle is essentially reduced to ‘just another event’. It is only when a breakthrough happens in a tough time that miracles are accorded due status.

Gems in themselves are miracles. Who could have figured what magical sparkling treasures are secretly formed within the earth’s womb! Silently and steadily, it just spins its magic…

What is in a Name – Just Make Sure You Get the Correct Gem

Natural Hessonite

There is so much than one can get confused with in the world of colored gemstones. Let alone the genuineness, there is a possibility that one can get really befuddled by several names a gem goes by! Usually a gem is given a fancy name to add to the romance or appeal.

Hessonite garnet is orange grossular that also goes by the name of Cinnamon stone. One may also get to hear the Hindi equivalent of gomed or gomedhaka or the Persian names of Zargun or Zarcunia.

The hessonite garnet is richly hued gem with a warmth to its appearance and glow of embers within. A good natural hessonite is all this and also displays a ‘roiled heat wave effect’ – a dreamy cognac in water like appearance or as if a heat wave is on within!

Be a Leader and Change Maker – Engaging the Sun for Leading Men

Be a Leader and Change Maker – Engaging the Sun for Leading Men

Natural Mozambique Ruby

There are power centers and they are the driving forces. They spearhead, they direct the design of things and they drive change. It takes courage to lead as it also makes one responsible.

There is usually a common thread that can be found where these leaders and change makers are concerned. And that is the contribution of a strong Sun in the natal chart. The Sun is the nurturer, the life giver! The Sun in a horoscope is regarded as the natural atmakaraka and determines one’s self-image, ability to transform thoughts into manifest reality, courage and strength to lead men. It is the doer, the Â primary influence at the soul level that influences choices and actions.

The Sun is king of the zodiac and his planetary energy spells all things regal, royal in bearing, dominant, the custodian, the ruler, the nourisher! His movement across the skies decides the course and routine of life too. Likewise, individuals with well placed Sun have the natural ability to guide and lead. The professions they choose generally have deep bearing on a multitude. They could be members of royalty, politicians, industrialists, bureaucrats, agriculturalists, doctors etc. The Sun is a natural malefic and has an intensity to it.

On the other hand, a weak or afflicted Sun can give self doubt and problems related to authority. It should be strengthened if it is a yogkaraka, by wearing a ruby so that one is able to make progress. Alternative remedies should be sought if it isn’t a yogkaraka.

The noted business icon Sunil Bharti Mittal synonymous with the telecom giant Airtel, wears a natural ruby.

Sunil Mittal wears a Ruby Sunil Bharti Mittal

There are many more individuals in leading positions who wear ruby or manikya stone, but that’s for later. The idea is that the power of a formidable natal Sun must be harnessed for greater good and there is nothing like a natural unheated ruby orÂ manikya stone that helps in doing it.

Aum and the Circle of Life-The Divine Chatur Ratna Pendant

March 4, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Aum and the Circle of Life-The Divine Chatur Ratna Pendant

Circle of Life Om Pendant Talisman with Precious Gemstones

If there is existence, there is angst. If there is a pain body, there is pain. However, if the individual is rooted firmly, the journey of life becomes an enriching experience. The talisman featured today is a rich as well as powerful amalgamation of energies that can give an individual progress, protection, sense of security and confidence and keep one rooted in reality even while one plays in the world of Maya.

At the core of the talisman is the Pranava Aum, the primordial sound, the seed of creation, that force which embodies the powers of the trinity – Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh! It is really impossible to say enough about Aum or explain this master key to life â€“ a symbol that holds the secrets of existence.

Aum is the sonic absolute, the underlying rhythm that controls the play. When an individual is able to root oneself in this simple truth, and recognise the power encapsulated in this three-syllabled package, the universal energies lovingly embrace the being.

The Pranava Aum is surrounded by four gems that symbolise protection for the being from the keepers of the four cardinal directions. The four gems also symbolize the four purusharthas – aiming at centring the individual to fulfil the goals in this life. The four purusharthas or goals are – Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.

While dharma is the essential foundation of the attainment of other three goals, Artha and Kama are goals that help humankind and society on a larger level to flourish. It perpetuates the world. Moksha is ultimately the liberation of the soul from the bondage of Maya and the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

Dharma: Righteousness

Artha: Wealth

Kama: Desire

Moksha: Liberation

With the energies of the natural planetary gems and the cosmic forces, this talisman is a special one.

Director Choreographer Farah Khan with her Yellow Sapphire – The Color of Fame

Farah Khan

http://youtu.be/klT42sy5z2I

For the average Indian gemstones have much more meaning than being fancy baubles or prized possessions. The gemstones are highly symbolic of the planetary powers so they go beyond ornamental purposes and are used as a revered medium of bringing about a positive change in life.

Strange but true, when people of note are seen to wear planetary gems, the appeal increases and so does the curiosity. One can invariably see the rich and famous wearing some gemstone. One could look at it the other way round where the gemstone’s power has brought about the noteworthiness, fame and fortune.

Of late among the well-known Bollywood celebs, one can see a slimmer looking director – choreographer Farah Khan in the media. She has directed Om Shanti Om and choreographed many a hit numbers. She can be seen wearing a yellow sapphire in gold ring in the index finger of right hand.

Natural Yellow Sapphire from GemstoneuniverseThe energy of yellow sapphire takes one towards the path of action rather than procrastination. It shakes away all doubt and induces a strength of will. The energy of this gemstone has the frequency of prosperity and wealth. It’s an excellent stone for success in business. Yellow sapphire can help one overcome self-doubt and fear of failure.

Metaphysical Properties of Emeralds – The Magic of Gem Crystals

February 28, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

Metaphysical Properties of Emeralds – The Magic of Gem Crystals

Natural Zambian Emerald above 6 carats

Zambian emeralds are characterized by a rich emerald green color with a bluish tinge and the color is present to the core. Not so with the Colombian emeralds where color is concentrated towards the outer crystal and core is relatively clearer.

Emeralds have had a great metaphysical meaning for centuries. The gemstone is regarded to work on the supra physical aura first and then heal the malaise therefore raising the vibratory rate of the body.

It is also known as the gemstone of truth with great powers of revelation. It is believed that no trickery, conjuring, spells, magic are able to work upon the wearer of the emerald. After all, Mercury or Hermes himself is the ultimate trickster, who was able to pull wool over Apollo’s eyes! And with the power of Mercury himself, it is not possible to remain susceptible to anymore trickery.

Emerald is also believed to enhance the prophetic faculty or the ability to foresee future events what in common parlance may be termed as intuitive intelligence is actually strong Mercury working its power. It is a gem that enhances arts of divination, clairvoyance etc.

The color of emerald – green symbolizing life, rejuvenation, fertility and hope is coveted not just for its beauty but for all that it can do for the wearer. Mercury is the planet of communication and hence can give a person great facility with language, creative ways and enthralling through speech. It can give structured thinking and the required calmness to do so, to people who have very high entropy/ restlessness and tend to get bored very easily.

Emerald is the birthstone of the signs Gemini and Virgo, which are ruled by Mercury.

Precious Natural Red Coral – Five pointers to a Smart Buy

Precious Natural Red Coral – Five pointers to a Smart Buy

Natural Organic Red Coral

Precious coral is captivating gemstone – with its smooth surface and robust color, the gemstone is absolute imagery of vitality and symbolizes youthful vigor.

However, distinguishing precious coral from its look-alikes can be a hard task. For a layman the slick sales pitch and attractive form and designs can be overwhelming and could lead to a misjudged purchase. One has to be still more careful if the objective is planetary gem therapy. So how does one identify a precious coral? Here is a quick guide to a foolproof purchase –

– Nothing can replace lab certification. A good vendor will give you a certified gem that lists the verified properties of the specimen.

– Precious red coral measures 3.5 on Moh’s scale and has a specific gravity of 2.65- 2.68 which will be clearly stated on the certificate helping in identification. Precious red coral is an opaque gemstone, it has a refractive index of 1.48.

– Don’t get taken in by fancy names like Taiwanese coral. While previous coral does exist there, it faces a crisis as reefs are threatened by pollution. An entire plastic coral industry has come up which produces look-alikes that could confound anyone!

Available Easily Taiwan plastic coral – How do you distinguish?- Bamboo coral, which is also a coral found growing in the sea, but not precious coral is dyed and palmed off to unsuspecting buyers. Make sure you ask the right questions and do a minimum homework before making a valuable purchase.

Bamboo Coral- Precious red coral will display a wood grain texture under magnification, which may not show in case of resin filled, wax treated coral, as it would give a texture too good to be true.

A variety of techniques can be use to determine if the color of a piece of coral is dyed or is a fake. However, these techniques like acetone exposure or heating will destroy the specimen being tested! A lab report and a trusted source always hold the key to a good buy.

Featured today is a natural and organic red coral of 4.94 carats. The rich Mediterranean ox blood color of the coral and the smooth blemish free surface of the gem allow it to stand apart. The cabochon cut red coral is from Italy and meets all the criteria for a premium jyotish quality gem.

Natural red coral or moonga is the gemstone of planet Mars/ Mangal and is used to harness its extraordinary powers.

Understanding Lord Saturn – A Preliminary to Understanding Self

Understanding Lord Saturn – A Preliminary to Understanding Self

Natural Unheated Ceylon Blue Sapphire

Among the navagrahas, Lord Shani or Saturn is probably the most feared and the most misunderstood. It is only natural for children to dislike the hour when a strict teacher takes a class and to revel with an easygoing jovial one! Just similar is the case with human beings and planets – while the planetary period or influence of a soft planet or a yogkaraka is enjoyable, the planetary period of karmic planets, especially like that of Saturn brings difficult lessons and relentless troubles.

Lord Saturn in Vedic astrology and among the planets is the grandmaster of karmic retribution. He is largely instrumental in balancing the karmic books of individuals. In the sacred texts, he is described as having emaciated and long physique, tawny eyes, windy in temperament, big teeth, is indolent and lame, and has coarse hair.

Shanidev

He is depicted usually with a sword, arrow, trident and riding a raven/ crow/ vulture. His imagery is dark and scary conveying his hard taskmaster, no-nonsense aura completely. While his dasha or period of influence can be very hard, good conduct, sincerity, forgiveness and a life of truth and ethics can bring much relief as these are the very virtues Shanidev tries to impart – to convert ignorance and pain into lasting wisdom!

One can also find much relief by wearing his gemstone – blue sapphire, if Saturn is placed favourably in the birth chart. There can also be decrease in intensity of pain by praying to Shiva who is his guru, by praying to Hanuman especially on Saturdays and by visiting the Shaneeshwara temple on Saturday evenings. Individuals can make a pilgrimage to the Thirunallar temple in Kumbhakonam, Tamil Nadu and seek the grace from Lord Shani, who is regarded to be in his benevolent form in this particular temple.
