Blue Sapphire Gemstone Price per carat

Â Blue Sapphire Price Jyothish Gemstone,Â The blue sapphire gemstone has a league of its own in the world of gems. The several shades of blue – the entire array from pale blues to deep midnight tones, the allure of the gemstone and the aura of mystique that legends have built around it seem only to increase its charm.

Natural Blue sapphire Jyotish Gemstone of karmic planet Saturn and can give amazing results during the Planetary periods of Saturn or during Sade sati if it happens to be a natural yogkaraka for the individual.

Blue Sapphire Price | Blue Sapphire Jyotish Gemstone

The big question that faces an individual when he or she decides to buy a neelam stone is about choice – how does one buy intelligently in a market that offers several choices without necessarily addressing issues about authenticity or treatments! And even if one does manage to ascertain authenticity of goods, how does one establish the value?

The natural blue sapphire stone price range is mind-boggling. Often paler gems may cost much more than a deeper coloured one. Or a smaller gem may cost much more than a larger gem. Initial foray into this world, without any set guidelines can be very unnerving!

However, one can move safely from the premise of assessing on basis of 4 C’s of cut, color, clarity and carat weight of Blue sapphire gemstone!

One may judge on each parameter singularly to begin with. Further on how a single blue sapphire gemstone scores compositely on all the factors would determine the final value – the blue sapphire price per carat. A small gem (less carat weight) may far outdo a larger gem simply by virtue of having better color or better clarity. A larger gem does not necessarily imply greater value!

Ideal Color and Shade of Blue Sapphire

The ideal color that will fetch the best price for blue sapphire is cornflower blue! However, the Burmese blue sapphire Â stone which is very dark may command a better price because of the origin and the relative rarity of blue sapphire Gemstone originating from there.

Like wise a gem with a fancy cut like a princess cut, a marquise or heart shape will fetch a much higher price than a oval or a cushion cut gem! Please note that precious carat weight is sacrificed to get a fancy cut gem.Connoisseurs willing to take that call are far and few!

Gem cutting has evolved the ‘mixed cut’ out of a need to save the gemstone weight!

Celebrating the Power of Mind with Natural Italian White Coral and Natural Pearl

July 3, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

Celebrating the Power of Mind with Natural Italian White Coral and Natural Pearl

Natural White Coral & Natural Pearl Talisman

The mind is a powerful mechanism. It is the ultimate deciding force where success or failure; verve or hopelessness are concerned. If the mind is strong, any situation can be overcome, any mountain scaled! However, if the power of the mind is compromised, it can become a self-defeating mechanism, a tool of destruction.

In the world of Vedic astrology, mind is the domain of the planet Moon. Its influence on the mind is similar to its element – the water! Just as the watery element shifts, ebbs and peaks, the mind also oscillates as the Moon would have it. If the Moon is strong, there is a greater stability and balance, which is vital for good decision-making and subsequently good action. In a birth chart, the planet Moon finds its exaltation (peaks in its power) in the sign of Taurus and finds debilitation (is extremely weak) in the sign of Scorpio.

A debilitated Moon should always be strengthened by wearing its gem – the natural pearl. Such a position of Moon can lead to a dysfunctional way of thinking and distort view of the world.

While Moon is the biggest governing force for mind, one must also understand the role of the planet Mars in on the mind. Mars denotes a raw power â€“ the essential life force that gives courage, determination, stamina and vitality. One has to appreciate that the state of physiology and the state of mind are interlinked deeply and they can each affect the other. A hampered or hyper state of physiological function alters the thought. It either may lead to depression or may lead to an agitated state â€“ the point to note is that balance is missing. A compromised Mars can bring about just this kind of results. Deep-seated complexes trigger strong self-preservation mechanisms that can be seen as maladjustment by society.

In case of a debilitated Mars (Mars becomes weak in the sign of Cancer which is ruled by Moon, and hence the mind connection can be established), it becomes imperative to wear a white coral life long which helping in balancing the physiology and the state of mind too.

Interestingly, both the natural pearl as well as white coral are gems of organic origin and are found in the seas.

For the purpose of planetary gem therapy, these gems, white coral and natural pearl must be set in silver as talismans.

Go Green New Parcels of Colombian and Zambian Emeralds

June 29, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 2 Comments

Go Green New Parcels of Colombian and Zambian Emeralds

MANIMAL 2013 – Natural Colombian emeralds

The rich green color of emeralds is matchless in its ability to soothe and rejuvenate. Green is the color of freshness and new life. Among the gemstones, emerald holds its own just because of this exceptional trait. No matter what the shade of emerald, it stands out and one will be able to notice during the process of selection that there is invariably a shade of emerald that complements the skin tone of the individual. Gemstoneuniverse presents its two new parcels of fully natural treatment free Colombian and Zambian emeralds â€“ Manimal 2013 and Matang 2013.

Colombian emeralds are marked by a lighter shade of green but much clearer crystal. The Zambian emeralds on the other hand are characterised by a deep rich shade of green with a hint of blue. On an average the Colombian emeralds are highly valued compared to their Zambian counterparts. But real determination of value is done on the basis of individual gem and its measuring up on the benchmarks of cut, clarity, color, carat weight etc. A prized Zambian may sometimes outdo the Colombian gem by a great margin.

According to Vedic Astrology, Natural emerald or zammrud or panna is the gemstone of Planet Mercury or Budh.

While picking gems for use in planetary gem therapy, Gemstoneuniverse makes sure that these gems are top of the line, with even the emeralds (that tend to be highly included, as the crystal grows naturally) displaying enviable clarity and great lustre! There are no compromises made on quality and even great looking natural gems are rejected, if they carry internal flaws (doshas) that could interfere with your gem therapy.

Manimal 2013 is the new parcel of natural Colombian emeralds. Each gem of Manimal 2013

– Is fully natural and treatment free
– Is of Colombian origin
– Is early summer grass green in color
– Has fantastic clarity
– Has great jyotish weight
– Is a mixed oval cut gem in shape
– Is devoid of any doshas mentioned in sacred texts
– Has abundant Mercury energies

Introducing Naktamunda Rhodolite Garnet

Introducing Naktamunda Rhodolite Garnet

Edward Meeks

The gem of love, Ruby is the red member of the Corundum family and is often given as a gift to show the strength of one’s relationship. Its rich, vivid red colors are due to the presence of chromium and its almost identical twin sister, the Sapphire, is similar in all but colour.

Until the early 1800’s many other gemstones, including Spinel and Garnets, were often misidentified as Ruby. Most Rubies show purplish red to orangey red hues; however, the overall colour (colour being a combination of hue, shade and saturation) can provide gem dealers with an indication of the stone’s original geographic origin. Burmese Rubies tending to be purplish red in colour, while Thai stones tend to be brownish red.

Ruby shows pleochroism, which means that the colour varies when viewing the gemstone in different directions and many can appear incredibly bright when exposed to the sun (see fluorescence). Inclusions in Rubies are called “silk”, and if sufficiently abundant and precisely arranged this can lead to wonderful asterism; with the correct cutting, Star Rubies can often be created.

Ruby has been a popular gemstone for centuries and has been set in many famous historic pieces of jewellery. Ruby mining can be traced back over 2500 years ago in Sri Lanka. The famous mines in Mogok, Burma were first explored as early as the 6th century AD. Historically, the gem has had many different names around the globe, which highlights how popular it has been with many different civilizations. In Sanskrit, the Ruby was known as ratnaraj which stood for the king of precious gems, and later ratnanayaka; leader of all precious stones. The gem was referred to in the Bible as a Carbuncle, although today research has shown that this name was also used for several other red gemstones. Its more recent name, Ruby, is derived from the Latin word rubers simply meaning red.

As can be imagined, the gem is surrounded by a great deal of folklore and legends. In the ancient world people believed that Rubies could help them predict the future and they have been worn as talismans to protect from illness or misfortune ever since. It has also been said that the wearer of a Ruby would enjoy romance, friendship, energy, courage and peace.

Pliny the Elder, influenced by the writings of the ancient Greek philosopher Theophrastus (371 287BC), wrote In each variety of Ruby there are so called male and female stones, of which the former are the more brilliant, while the latter have a weaker lustre. Considering Pliny’s work took place almost 2000 years ago, this remains one of the few theories relating to gemstones that he misinterpreted!

In Burma and Thailand one legend tells of the ancient Burmese dragon who laid three magical eggs. From the first egg came forth Pyusawti, king of Burma, from the second emerged the Chinese Emperor and the third egg provided all of the vivid Rubies in Burma, many of which local gem traders will tell you are yet to be discovered.

Shortly after Marco Polo documented his travels (in which he recited how Ruby was used by people of the Kahn to protect themselves in battle), Sir John Mandeville wrote a book of his own global experiences (compiled circa 1365). Mandeville believed that once a man had touched the four corners of his land with his Ruby, then his house, vineyard and orchard would be protected from lightning, tempests and poor harvest.

For many centuries, Ruby has been thought to remove sadness, prevent nightmares and protect against many illnesses. With its likeness in colour to blood, it has often been said to help stem haemorrhages and cure inflammatory diseases.

It is said that over 95% of Rubies on the market today have been heat-treated, therefore whenever buying a Ruby it is best to assume that the gem’s colour has been enhanced. Large, natural Rubies of good colour and clarity are so valuable that they often demand a higher price per carat than even the most flawless Diamonds. For example, in 1988 Sotheby auctioned a 15.97ct Ruby which sold for more than 3.6 million dollars under the hammer!

Some of the finest Rubies are from Burma, where their colour is said to be comparable to that of pigeon blood. Other sources include Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and India.

Ruby is the birthstone for July and is also the anniversary gemstone for both the 15th and 40th year of marriage. As it has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, it is a tough and durable gemstone, and when set in precious metal should continue to shine for thousands of years to come. Besides being used in jewellery, Rubies are also used extensively in laser technology.

Jupiter Transit May 31, 2013

What does this Transit of Jupiter mean for youâ€¦

There is a major astronomical as well as astrological event happening today. Movement spells change and significant movement of heavyweight planets spells bigger change. The heavyweight planet of our solar system Jupiter, the mentor of Gods – Guru will move into the sign of Gemini or Mithuna on the 31^st of May 2013 and will stay in that sign for the next 13 months.

What does it mean?

Jupiter is saatvik energy, a benevolent planet that rules over justice, wisdom, auspicious events and good fortune for each individual. Since Jupiter is such a significant planet, that determines the foundations of life and decisions of individuals; combined with the fact that it stays in a zodiacal sign for a long duration of 13 months, the impact on life will be significant too and also quite specific. What the coming 13 months augur for each sign, would depend on the transit from natal moon, the sign it is transiting through, houses ruled etc.

Brihaspati

As Jupiter steps into the dual sign of Gemini, ruled by Mercury, individuals can expect that the wisdom and maturity of Guru will blend with the incisive and persuasive communication of Mercury. Now whether this combination can work wonders for an individual or indicates caution – to watch against smart-mouthing for ones own interest will depend on where Jupiter transits from natal moon and whether it will be auspicious or trying.

You decide the course…

Predictions for the Signs

Here is a look at what this significant planetary movement augurs for the 12 signs of the zodiac –
(Note: The predictions are based on the principles of Vedic Astrology and Â describe the effects for the Moon signs)

Aries/ Mesha: From the month of June, Jupiter will move 3^rd to your natal moon. This will be an average time for the Aries. There will be short-term changes and short distance travels in this phase. You may be motivated to bring about some changes in your business/ work environment or academic activity. Do not take big risks, playing conservative is the key. You may register a stagnation or decrease in profits. There may be a feeling of being stonewalled. Health issues or those of loved ones may bog you down. Some individuals may get married and some maybe blessed with children.

Taurus/ Vrishabha: Jupiter moves 2^nd to the natal Moon in this case. Now this is one of the best transits, especially for making rapid strides materially, for making financial gains and scaling heights in career. There is increase in status and social prestige. Your personal charm and charisma grows and your ability to persuade and negotiate also grows. There could be a promotion, excellent result in competitive exams or a new job offered to you. A major wish fulfilment is on cards. Gains through influential people, social network expansion and popularity increase. Eligible individuals are likely to get married. Auspicious events are indicated. This is a good time to take new initiatives and start important works.

Gemini: Jupiter transits over your natal moon now. The individuals with this sign of the zodiac can expect some changes for the better while still grappling with a few existing ones. There will be a definite decrease in the cash outflow that has given you a tough time in the last year. You will have to be cautious about not getting into a public fracas. There is also the danger of a dented reputation. Try to keep your conduct above board and your temper in check. Some obstacle may crop up while trying to get a government or administrative sanction. This will be a fairly decent time in terms of new opportunities/ hopes and ideas presenting themselves to you. Â A birth in the family or a marriage of eligible individuals is likely.

Cancer: Individuals born under this sign of the zodiac should brace up for a significantly trying time. Jupiter will now move through the sign of Gemini, 12th to your natal moon. There may be a sudden increase in expenses – there may be unforeseen and unexpected expenses putting a pressure on your resources and draining your savings. How attached you are to money may define your state. Also, there may be a lot of running around to be done to get the smallest jobs done. It can be frustrating as well as exhausting. Keep documents as well as valuables safely and be careful about your prized possessions. This phase could be marked by trouble through foreign travel, anxiety and unexplained fears. You must replenish your spiritual reservoir as Saturn transiting 4th to your natal moon is already testing you!

Leo: Get set for some of the most promising and memorable times of your life. Jupiter moves 11^th to your natal moon. This is a time where you operate with great confidence and Are in a space of mental comfort and ease. There is a significant increase in profit and financial gains. There could be in gains through friends and network of influential people. Auspicious events are likely to happen. There could be a marriage or a birth in the family. There could be a promotion on cards, possibly increase in social status and prestige. Pending works get completed and there is academic success. There a general sense of calm and composure about you. Those individuals for whom Jupiter is particularly not a favourable planet should watch out for losses especially through speculation and trading.

Virgo: The individuals born under this sign of the zodiac should brace up for some changes to come up in the professional life. The events may be for good on the long run but may present difficulties to begin with. Â There may be introduction to and meetings with influential people, while it brings a bit of stress, it does open doors to opportunities too.

Features of the Classic Princess Diana Blue Sapphire Engagement Ring

Natural Blue Sapphire diamond ring

It’s the rule. The world follows the daring trendsetters who have displayed a penchant for all that is different and unique. Princess Diana was an icon and her choices definitely set the tone for fashionistas around the world.

It started when she chose a blue sapphire engagement ring! Royalty settling for just a Â£30,000 ring in 1980s was scoffed at. She could have pointed a finger at the choicest of jewels!

However, this is the ring that came to stir up an unprecedented demand worldwide for a design that has come to be known as the Princess Diana ring design. Her ring that now sits on the finger of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, (after prince William proposed marriage to her with this ring) features a large oval cut blue sapphire that is around 12 carats in weight (there is also conflict in views about this gem being 18 carats of weight!), surrounded by a halo of 14 flawless diamonds. The ring is in 18-karat white gold.

Women of taste still raise a toast to the classic beauty and choice of Princess Di, by customizing their rings to this particular design.

What are Jardines in Emeralds?

Minimum Acceptable Clarity Levels in a Jyotish Emerald

Natural Colombian Emerald

The alluring emerald forms a distinct variety of gemstone by itself. A gem that makes it into the big three of the colored gemstones â€“ Ruby, Sapphire and emeralds, the emeralds are highly valued and prized. However, unlike its other counterparts, its value is determined most by the color and cut and clarity have a relatively lesser role to play.

The emerald gem is a result of quite a few elements coming together in its process of formation, which takes hundreds of millions of years, and therefore it occurs as a highly included gem naturally.

The inclusions within the emeralds are actually accepted as marks of being genuine. If one is getting a relatively inclusion free emerald at anything less than a prohibitive price point, it should be a red flag!

Inclusion free, naturally occurring flawless emeralds of significant size will be very few and whatever specimens are available will cost an arm and a leg!

These inclusions of emeralds are very different from the flaws and inclusions in diamonds. While diamond is pure carbon, emerald is a mix of more elements beryllium aluminium silicate to be precise! Its formation through a complex process with the interaction of several elements invariably leads to generation of a crystal that is included. Most of the emeralds will have three phase inclusions â€“ with fluid, gas as well as crystals within the emerald.

The most valued emeralds have a rich green color with ever so little hint of a bluish tint with good saturation, display the oil drop effect and are relatively inclusion free. The trade always looks the factors of absence or presence of treatment and color first while determining the value of an emerald.

What Exactly are Jardines?

The emerald dealers have romanticised the inclusions by calling them jardines- the French word for gardens! Jardines help establish the authenticity of the gem and also help in distinguishing the origin of the gem in a huge way.

What are the minimum clarity levels acceptable in jyotish quality emeralds?

Jyotish quality emeralds should have at least 80 per cent clarity levels. To know more about it, click here.
