Elegance of the Zodiac – Lunar Energies Abound in New Lot of Blue Moonstone, Vipraa 2012

New lot of Natural Indian Blue Moonstone - Vipraa 2012
New lot of Natural Indian Blue Moonstone – Vipraa 2012

 

The Blue Moonstone is an enchanting gemstone with a very high coolness quotient, if one could put it that way. It is an elegant gemstone with a very calm yet powerful aura, something of a great self-assuredness about it.

Gemstoneuniverse presents to you the new lot of Indian blue moonstone Vipraa 2012, aptly named so because of the Brahminical pristine purity it embodies.

Blue Moonstone is a gem belonging to the Orthoclase Feldspar group. It is nearly transparent, sometimes translucent with a distinct Blue schiller or adularia. Blue moonstone is a phenomenal gem that displays adularescence -there is a distinct blue schiller or adularia visible when light falls on this Blue moonstone. This shimmer called schiller is caused by interaction of light with tiny crystals of albite within the gem.

Blue moonstone is a gem that is always fashioned as a cabochon to allow maximum display of adularescence. The healing properties of the Blue moonstone were well known and appreciated by the ancients. Blue Moonstone is replete with the powerful energies of the Moon as well as the divine feminine. Not surprisingly, Moon represents the mother element in the zodiac. It was believed to heighten the psychic powers of the wearer. It is known as the Chandrakant Mani in Hindi.

While the Romans called this gem Astrion, it also goes by the name of Selenite. It is popular as the birthstone for June in the West.

Blue moonstone is the substitute gem of Natural Pearl. Set in a talisman, duly consecrated and energised, this gem is used to harness lunar energies for stable as well as better quality of life.

Blue moonstone is easily distinguished from the imitations as the latter will always be milky in appearance and the schiller / adularia is not mobile. In an authentic blue moonstone, the schiller moves with the movement of light source.

The lot Vipraa 2012 has been a tough find and each gemstone in the lot:

-Is a natural, untreated Blue Moonstone

-Is the top quality product of Indian origin

-Has great adularia/ Blue sheen

-Is almost transparent

-Jyotish quality

-Abundant lunar energies

Note: Certification and appraisal process of all the gems in these two lots is complete and they will most certainly be made available for online purchase within the next couple of weeks.

Featured today is a fully natural, unheated Mozambique Ruby of 1.37 carats set in 22-karat gold as a Sun talisman ruby ring.  The gemstone is a mixed cut oval with a vivid reddish pink color. There is palpable fire in the belly of the gem and the ruby is quite lustrous.

The book Tavernier’s Travels in India lists descriptions of some magnificent rubies, especially of two exceptional ones with the ruler of Ceylon -  “Among these he hath two rubies, of which he weareth one hung around his neck, and the other on his hand wherewith he wipeth his lips and his beard; and each is of greater length than his breadth of four fingers and when held in the hand it standeth out visibly in either side to the breadth of a finger. I do not believe that the universal world hath two stones like them.”  Such rubies can only be imagined today.

According to Vedic astrology, Natural ruby or manik stone is the gemstone of the planet Sun / Surya and is used to harness the saatvik energies of the King of the Zodiac.

Iolite is the substitute gem for a natural Blue Sapphire. Alternatively known as Neeli in Hindi, it is an extremely powerful gem. It is the gem of Lord Saturn’s consort and is referred to, by the name of Shanipriya.

Gemstoneuniverse presents to you the new lot of fantastic natural Iolite from Madagascar – Shanipriya 2012. Iolite is also known as Cordierite or Dichroite (displaying two colors) and also called water sapphire.

Iolite is a Pleochroic gem, meaning that it exhibits a different color or a shade of color when viewed from different directions. The stone has been long-known to mankind and was used by the Vikings to locate the position of Sun and hence navigate their route on the sea.

While the pleochroism sets the gem apart and very useful, it is however presents great difficulty for the gem cutter – in case the gem is fashioned without careful assessment, the color uniformity could be lost. The gems have to cut carefully to restrict the play of yellow-brown shades and allow the violet blue color to remain dominant.

Each gemstone of Shanipriya 2012 –

-Is fully natural and untreated in any manner

-Is a Madagascar origin Iolite

-Has an appealing Royal Violet-Blue color

-Has great clarity

-Has great lustre

The only difficult you could possibly face would be in choosing WHICH one?

Comments Featured today is a natural Blue moonstone of 4.65 carats. This upratna has been set in Sterling Silver as a pendant.http://youtu.be/GhEX_YFxqGg

This particular blue moonstone is of Indian origin and is an oval cabochon cut with phenomenal adularescence. Blue Moonstones are phenomenal gems and exhibit adularescence.

These are gemstones of feldspar group and have a turbid transparency. When light moves across this surface, the moonstone displays a soft mobile blue reflection, which in the nonprofessional’s parlance is referred to as blue sheen.

One can easily distinguish the imitations from authentic moonstone the blue sheen/ adularia of the authentic moonstone is mobile and not just confined to the dome of the cabochon. Also, the imitation is likelier to be more milky in appearance.

Blue moonstone, also known as the chandrakant mani in Hindi is the upratna or the substitute gem for harnessing the energies of Moon/ Chandra.  It is used as a substitute gem for natural pearl. It is a gem well recognized and used extensively for by the ancients.

The Aura of Promise, The Splendor of Royalty – Two New Lots of Natural Yellow Topaz

by Leave a Comment

The Aura of Promise, The Splendor of Royalty – Two New Lots of Natural Yellow Topaz

“ A man who wears a faultlessly Yellow Topaz

possessed of a beautiful shade, weighty, exceedingly cool,

flawless and perfectly round, reaps fame,

heroism, happiness, wealth and length of days.”

 

Manimala: Treatise on Gems

So there you have the ancient view asserting the power of a natural unheated Topaz. Gemstoneuniverse presents to you two new lots of fully natural and unheated Yellow Topaz, rich and resplendent, pulsating with pure Jupiter energies.

Regalia 2012

Regalia 2012 - New Lot of natural unheated Impreial Golden Yellow Topaz Regalia 2012 – New Lot of natural unheated Impreial Golden Yellow Topaz

Regalia 2012 is all about the exotic and richly hued Imperial Golden Yellow Topaz. It is the finest produce of Brazilian mines in Ouro Preto, a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil – the famous gem producing area.

Yellow topaz otherwise is an abundantly available gem in nature, but Imperial Golden Yellow Topaz is a complete rarity and is only sourced from this particular mining area in  Brazil. It is this topaz that is the “True topaz” or the “Sherry topaz” and its color is often described as the muscatel color or golden honey brown.

A buyer must be especially careful as a cheaper and more abundantly available gem – citrine is palmed-off to the unaware buyer as a Topaz!

In most of the markets the most common material being peddled in the name of Yellow Topaz are glass (Yes Glass) and citrine/sunhela that gives zero value as a Gemstone for harnessing Jupiter energies. Read more bout this HERE.

One can be aware that the topaz will have much more lustre than citrine and will be in warmer tones.

Regalia 2012 is an exclusive lot, sourced with effort. Each gem of this lot

-          Is the Imperial Golden Yellow Topaz

-          Is fully natural and unheated

-          Has the coveted honey golden yellow color with ever so little hint of brown

-          Has excellent clarity

-          Is super lustrous

-          Has superb jyotish weight

-          Has phenomenal Jupiter energies

-          Have extremely affordable pricing despite the sourcing difficulty

This is a Gemstoneuniverse hotcake and might just vanish at lightening speed, so get yours fast!

Enjoy the lot Regalia 2012 in video:

 

 

Bella 2012

Bella 2012 - New lot of Natural unheated Yellow Topaz Bella 2012 – New lot of Natural unheated Yellow Topaz

 

As beautiful as the name of the lot, Bella is all about fine Brazilian Yellow Topaz. You will notice the palpable difference vis-à-vis the gems of Regalia. Both are natural and unheated but Regalia 2012 is class apart  as the rich color of the Imperial Golden yellow Topaz is natural (reason why this richly colored gem is called Imperial).

Bella 2012 is powerful in its own way with it butter yellow lusciousness and pristine aura. All gemstones of this lot –

-          Fully natural and unheated

-          Have excellent clarity

-          Is super lustrous
