Featured today is a fine natural jyotish quality Zambian emerald of 2.00 carats. The oval cut vibrant emerald green gemstone has been set in 22 karat gold as a Mercury Talisman ring. The gem is lustrous and has fine clarity.

The story of the emerald seal bearing the title of “Jagat Seth” given to Fateh Chand of Murshidabad in 1723 by emperor Muhammad Shah is well known. The title of Jagat Seth (financier of the world) became a legend – a name that he came to be known by. In fact, Jagat Seth became an iconic brand itself. His set up became a bank of sorts that was given the charge of royal mints at Dhaka and Patna!

Iconic House of Jagat Seth in Murshidabad

Adopted by Manik Chand, Fateh Chand grew to tremendous levels of power. He was an astute businessman who was at one time regarded as important as the Nawab of Bengal and admired even by the foreigners! Interestingly, much of the foreign exchange control in those times, rested in his hands.

Natural Emerald or zammrud or panna gemstone is the gem of planet Mercury/ Budh. It can be used in a talisman to harness the energies of this planet.

Comments	A gem is a real gem when every morning you wake up to look at it in a new found fascination and when all else who behold it, are left awe-struck! Now thatâ€™s when you have landed a real treasure.

Featured today is a fantastic natural unheated Ceylon Blue Sapphire. This natural Blue sapphire from Sri Lanka has a great jyotish weight of 4.08 carats and appealing silky cornflower blue color. The gem is flawless and has excellent clarity. The most fascinating factor in this gem is the superb lustre that adds a zing to the gemstone. The crystal clear gem and the lustre allows for the gemâ€™s depth to assume attractively, hypnotic and mysterious dimensions.

In Vedic astrology, natural blue sapphire or neelam is the gemstone of planet Saturn/ Shanidev and can be used in a talisman to harness the powerful transformative energies of a well-placed Saturn in the natal chart.

For a gem to be effective for planetary gem therapy, a gem has to be a jyotish quality gem. Aside of the generally known parameters of 4 Câ€™s, it must be devoid of the doshas mentioned in the sacred texts. Let us take one dosha (among many), for instance, a blue sapphire should not be milky in appearance â€“ such a blue sapphire can bring poverty. At Gemstoneuniverse, you can be sure that the gemstones offered to you are all jyotish quality and have been handpicked to ensure that there are no doshas at all!

All inclusive Price	$ 2283.16 / INR 126715.38
Comments	Bright and beautiful, with a scintillating luxurious appeal, gemstones are hard to resist. And what if they are the glorious natural ones!

Featured today is a fully natural untreated unheated Ceylon Yellow sapphire of 2.98 carats set in 22 karat gold as a Jupiter talisman ring. The cushion cut yellow sapphire from Elahera mines of Sri Lanka has a light butter yellow color with excellent clarity.

What works to the advantage of a gemstone on the first look is its appearance, the beauty and the scintilla. In case of this yellow sapphire, the lustre is superb, almost adamantine. There is a general advantage inherent in the sapphires when it comes to achieving such a lustre. Yellow sapphires have the requisite hardness – 9 on Mohs Scale to withstand much polishing.

Also the refractive index of yellow sapphire ranges between 1.76-1.77 (As a reference point, it will be good to note that diamond has an RI of 2.41, measures 10 on Mohs Scale and exhibits the best lustre among gems), which allows for the light to be reflected back with creating brilliance.

If a yellow sapphire is cut and polished masterfully, it can transform into a brilliant stunning gem. However, the since natural gem mineral is so rare, the gems are fashioned to retain the maximum weight possible (fetching a much better value) which generally leads to sacrifice on parameters of aesthetics! The maximum beauty of the gem is not realised.

Natural Yellow Sapphire or pukhraj/ Pushyarag in Vedic astrology, is the gemstone of planet Jupiter/ Guru/ Brihaspati and is used to harness its benevolent yet powerful energies.

Comments	It is just the fascinating color of emeralds that makes the heart stop for a moment and sets in a longing to own one. The fascinating gem has is the only one gem that as its own name as a color benchmark!

Featured today is a splendid natural treatment free Colombian emerald of 2.70 carats set in 22 karat gold as a Mercury Talisman ring. The classic emerald cut gem has a luxurious emerald green color and this very fact makes it a premium gem. It has excellent clarity as well as lustre.

Colombian emeralds generally have a grass green color that has a characteristic lightness and vitreous lustre. The value of a Colombian emerald grows exponentially if happens to have a richer color. Colombian emeralds are by far most valued emeralds in the trade.

In Vedic astrology, natural emerald or panna / zammrud gemstone is the gem of planet Mercury/ Budh and is used in a talisman to harness its saatvik powerful energies of Mercury.

Take a look at one of the rarer emerald masterpieces â€“ the “Emerald Unguentarium“. It was created by the famed gemstone cutter and carver, Dionysio Miseroni, working in Prague, in 1641, on the orders of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III.

The Emerald Unguentarium

It was carved out of a twin emerald crystal of Colombian origin. The Emerald Unguentarium of 2,680 carats is shaped like an irregular vessel, (most likely to reduce loss of precious caratage while cutting). Interestingly, there were futile attempts made to sell the treasure, but a worthy value seemed elusive. It is said that the Grand Duke of Tuscany, offered three tons of gold, in exchange for the enormous emerald and this was a couple of hundred years ago! And now it sits in the Imperial treasury (Schatzkammer) , in Vienna.
