Comments The Imperial golden yellow topaz is one of the fabulous gemstones known to man. It is unfortunate however, that the gem’s equity has taken a serious hit owing to the confusion caused by unscrupulous/  little knowing sellers who have pushed citrine at the buyer in the name of topaz.

Look at the lovely natural Imperial golden yellow topaz from Brazil of 3.06 carats set in sterling silver as Jupiter talisman ring. The gem is a classic emerald cut with amazing imperial golden yellow color and excellent clarity. The gem is loupe clean and is free from any treatment.

Golden imperial yellow topaz is the substitute gem for natural yellow sapphire/ pukhraj gemstone and is used to harness the saatvik energies of Jupiter / Guru/ Brihaspati.

Look at this imperial golden yellow topaz and then take a look at citrine and you will instantly know the difference. Citrine is a member of the quartz family with a rating of 7 on Mohs Scale, where as Topaz is a different mineral altogether that measures 8 on the Mohs Scale.

Citrine

Citrine is sold under various names – gold topaz, or Madeira or Spanish topaz or even Saxon topaz. Please note that Citrine is a variety of Quartz and isn’t Topaz!

It will be interesting for you to note that although natural citrine is available, most of the citrine available on the markets is heat treated amethyst (amethyst belongs to the same quartz group as citrine)! Sometimes Ametrine also can be found, it is a variety of quartz that contains both amethyst and citrine sectors in the same crystal.

Ametrine

Now for the purpose of planetary gem therapy,

Would you –

a)Wear a gem that is heat-treated?

b)Wear a gem that is recommended as a substitute gem for blue sapphire for Saturn?

c) Wear a gem that gives no tangible results astrologically?

We, at Gemstoneuniverse endeavour to give you the best be it value for your money or a piece of jewellery you will cherish, a talisman that makes a qualitative difference in your life or for that matter knowledge regarding gems.

Comments What does one say about a color that is the color of nature itself! A vivid and very alive green that reminds you of the abundant wholesomeness of life. Of balance, unity and harmony. It is a color that instantly relaxes you and fosters tranquillity.

Such is the gemstone featured today – a natural Peridot of 4.37 carats from Pakistan set in Sterling Silver as a Mercury Talisman. The captivating oval shaped gem has a golden olive green color with excellent clarity, as if it has captured the essence of the place where it was mined. Fantastic jyotish weight makes it the perfect choice for a good mercury talisman.

Natural Peridot or olivine or zabarjad gem is the substitute gem for natural emerald or panna. It is also the gemstone of Mercury. A natural unenhanced peridot can be used in a talisman to harness the energies of Mercury/ Budh.

According to a famous legend, King Solomon traded cedar trees from Lebanon for 12 soma drinking cups made of Peridot. Soma was a drink that the Egyptian priests believed, if had in peridot cups could bring one closer to Goddess Isis.

Comments That which is clear and colorless, white appears so because it absorbs all colors of the spectrum. Indeed a powerful gem with the strong energies – those capable of bestowing one with all possible material possessions and pleasures.

Featured today is a fantastic natural White Sapphire of 4.66 carats from the gem mines of Sri Lanka. The emerald cut white sapphire has been set in white gold as a Venus talisman. The natural white sapphire is clear and colorless and has spectacular clarity and lustre. The ring shanks have a 22-karat gold line in the centre, creating a nice design statement.

That having been stated, it should be mentioned that natural, colorless white sapphire is an extremely rare gemstone. It is colorless corundum. And with a fabulous jyotish weight of 4.66 carats, the gem is indeed a premium piece.

In Vedic Astrology, natural white sapphire is the gemstone of Venus/ Shukra. It is also known as the safed pukhraj or naram vajramani. A well placed Venus in an individual’s  birth chart has the potential of bestowing him or her with all the material pleasures and wealth.

Here’s some interesting stuff – last year the Zafirro Iridium went on sale – what’s that? Well it is a $100,000 razor (limited edition of course). The Razor has blades made of LAB GROWN white sapphire! The blades are also supposedly atomically sharp, getting sharpened by “high-energy, ionized particles”. The blades are guaranteed for 10 years during which time the company will service and sharpen them, free.

Hope that’s enough for an individual to appreciate the natural white sapphire, when he or she sees one!

Note:

Thank You dear patron for your gracious testimonial

Comments 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.

Comments The color green is looked at as one of the most soothing colors of the spectrum. It is a color that denotes freshness and renewal. It also symbolizes fertility and new possibilities and hopes.

Featured today is a fantastic Peridot of 2.45 carats from Pakistan set in Sterling silver as a mercury talisman ring. The Peridot is the substitute gem for natural emerald or panna gemstone, but not a notch lesser in its beauty.

The peridot is also known as olivine, because of its color and is often referred to as zarajad zaitooni (Zaitoon being Olive) in Arabic. It is the perfect upratna to natural emerald for harnessing the energies of Mercury or Budha Graha.

The Peridot was apparently the favorite gem of King Edward VII. His favorite color is widely known to be ‘Leek-Green’. Not surprisingly, the Edwardian jewelry incorporated a lot of peridots, emeralds, and demantoid garnets (green) among others.

It is also knows as the birthstone of the month of August, in the West. The peridot is especially believed to help with expression of self and overcome timidity.

Comments The Imperial golden yellow topaz is an alluring gem whose color ranges from pale yellow to deep honey brown. The yellow topaz is the upratna or the substitute gem that is used to harness the energies of Jupiter/ Guru/ Brihaspati. Its name is said to have derived from the Island of ‘Topazios’ where it was mined earlier. However, there is another school of thought that subscribes to the idea that the name is a derivative of the Sanskrit word ‘tapas’ which means heat/fire.

Featured today is a magnificient Imperial golden Yellow topaz of 3.71 carats from Brazil, set in sterling silver as a Men’s Topaz ring. Do note the great clarity of the gem and the excellent lustre it displays. The golden Imperial Yellow topaz is in a classic emerald cut that helps bring out its appeal.

The most famous Imperial yellow topaz belt lies in the area of Ouro Prêto in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The beautiful gem is often confused with the more commonly available Citrine. Imperial yellow topaz can however be differentiated from citrine on count of its greater hardness, density, and brilliance among other factors. The word ‘Imperial’ was added to the Topaz in honor of the Brazilian royalty, as it was the only significant gem in those times that was mined in the area.

The american golden topaz

Meanwhile, feast your eyes on the American Golden Topaz. It is a behemoth at 22,892.50 carats, the largest cut yellow topaz in the world, and one of the largest faceted gems in the world.
