Ceylon Yellow Sapphire | Gemstone for Education and Academic Success

Ceylon Yellow Sapphire | Gemstone for Education and Academic Success

Natural Yellow Sapphire Planetary Bhasma ring

One of the oft received queries when individuals consider planetary gem therapy is whether wearing a jyotish gemstone can help in gaining success in matters related to education. The answer is a most definitive YES.

In Vedic astrology, the planet Jupiter also known as Brihaspati or Guru is regarded as the planet ruling over learning and education. Jupiter is the teacher of gods and deities. For the purpose of astrological analysis, he is the significator of wisdom and memory in an individualâ€™s birth chart.

What needs to be kept in mind here is that there is a clear distinction between wisdom and intellect. While Jupiter rules over wisdom, Mercury rules over intellect. While wisdom is a subtler inner trait – that fine sense of judgement, the sum of knowledge (including that which resides in the subconscious), discernment of right from wrong; intellect refers to the ability to grasp knowledge, capacity to internalise, think or reason. Intellect is the ability to â€˜useâ€™ the knowledge!

If one were to give a mental imagery to both, wisdom could be represented by the Buddha-like all-knowing, radiant face while intellect could be portrayed as the inside of a geekâ€™s mind that tosses and churns concepts, ideas and knowledge around in several permutation and combinations to â€˜useâ€™ that knowledge.

The Geek brainEducation in an individualâ€™s horoscope is seen from more than one house. The 2^nd house of the horoscope indicates elementary level education, the 4^th house of the horoscope is indicative of education during middle and high school. Academic pursuits relating to graduation or further / advanced levels are contemplated from the 5^th house or bhava. Even though there are divergent views on this topic we can safely state based on statistics collated over several years that all these 3 houses need to be analysed.

While giving power to Jupiter naturally blesses individuals with good memory, an inclination to learn and give a rather organised or structured approach towards endeavours in education. Wearing the yellow sapphire â€“ the gemstone of Jupiter can aid success in education.

Individuals with Scorpio ascendant or Leo ascendant can especially benefit and gain academic success by wearing yellow sapphire gemstone talisman. It is also a fantastic gemstone for Pisces and Sagittarius ascendant. While these are general astrological precepts and guidelines, it is always recommended that individual horoscope analysis be done in order to facilitate accurate gemstone recommendation and best results from planetary gem therapy.

How Many Gems Should You Wear for Planetary Gem Therapy?

Natural Untreated Amethyst and white sapphire ring

There are nine planets, 12 zodiac signs,Â 27 nakshatras combined with many more parameters that decide the course of an individualâ€™s life. If and when, an individual does decide to implement planetary gem therapy, the ideal way is to complete the therapy by wearing all suitable gems. A single gem may give benefits in quite a few areas of life, but a combination of favourable gems is able to render a more holistic experience as well as benefits from implementation of gem therapy.

For instance, planetary positions may sometimes restrict recommendation to a single gem. In certain exceptional cases a maximum of five different gems may suit an individual. In rare cases, gem therapy is not recommended at all. On the other hand a navratna may suit everyone but it requires tremendous good fortune to be able to own one.

One aspect to notice and pay attention to is that an individualâ€™s life is a sum total of parts and one talisman may not be a single point solution. Most of the significant events have a karmic bearing and they precipitate to impart important lessons. Suitable gems and their energies are be able to smoothen the ride with a dash of good fortune thrown in.

Many a times individuals are averse to wearing more than one ring or one talisman on their person. But where there is a will there is a creative way to harness the energy. Gemstones favourable to an individual can be combined into the same ring or pendant and the energies of more than one planets can be harnessed at the same time.

Peridot- Meaning, Mythology, Uses, Deposits, treatments, Gemology and Color

May 21, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse

Peridot- Meaning, Mythology, Uses, Deposits, treatments, Gemology and Color

Natural Chinese Peridot

Peridot Meaning

The word peridot is most likely a derivative of the Arabic name Faridat meaning â€˜gemâ€™. Alternatively some experts also like to believe that it is derived from the French word peritot meaning unclear. Most of the peridots display a sleepy appearance. Jyotish Gem quality peridot must be clear. It also goes by the name chrysolith / chrysolite as well as olivine because of its typical color. The gem was found earliest in an island off the coast of Egypt called Zabargad and hence is referred to as zabarjad in local parlance. Forsterite-Fayalite mineral.

Peridot Mythology

Cleopatra

Peridot was a gem much loved by Cleopatra. It is speculated that Cleopatraâ€™s splendid emeralds were actually peridots that are also known as â€˜evening emeraldâ€™. In Hawaiian mythology, peridots are regarded to be goddess Peleâ€™s tears. Pele was the goddess of fire, lightening and volcanoes. One can see peridots encrusted in many old church shrines. Peridot is mentioned in the Bible under the Hebrew name of “pitdah”. Peridot along with 11 other gems, representing the 12 Jewish tribes were used in the fabled Breastplates of the Jewish High Priests.

Goddess Pele

Peridot Uses

Peridot is regarded as the birthstone for the month of August.

Gift a Peridot

It is considered a favourable gift for 16^th wedding anniversary. It has some great metaphysical properties, where it helps the wearer in healing from the burden of the past. It help to discard the emotional baggage and do away with the mental monsters. Peridot is believed to help in restoring good health to one who suffers from asthma, sinus trouble, ulcers or respiratory diseases. It is said to energise the body and give hope on a mental level.

Mercury also known as Hermes

Peridot is the gemstone of Mercury. It is the substitute gem for natural emerald. The name â€˜evening emerald is just a euphemism that traders use. It is NOT an emerald. According to the ancient discipline of Vedic astrology, it is used for harnessing the powers of a favourable Mercury in the birth chart.

Peridot Deposits

Historically – the Zabargad island (now known as St. Johnâ€™s Island) in the Red Sea,

Currently important deposits are in:

Pakistan, Myanmar, Vietnam, Australia, Brazil, China, Mexico, Norway, South Africa, Sri Lanka,

Tanzania, United States (Arizona and Hawaii)

Peridot crystals have also been collected from some Pallasite meteors. A famous Pallasite was offered for auction in April 2008 with a requested price of close to $2 million at Bonhams, but remained unsold. The Fukang specimen outshines all other known examples of the pallasite class, which makes up just one per cent of all meteorites.

The Fukang Pallasite Meteorite

Peridot treatments

Peridots are usually not subjected to any treatments.

Peridot – Color

Peridot is one of the loveliest green colored gems. Itâ€™s color ranges from pale to rich shades of luscious apple green to rich olivine green. It is an idiochromatic gem that gets its color from iron element in it. The gem has strong birefringence and therefore can exhibit a sleepy appearance.

Top Tips for Choosing a Blue Sapphire How to Buy a Genuine Natural Blue Sapphire

May 6, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

Top Tips for Choosing a Blue Sapphire How to Buy a Genuine Natural Blue Sapphire

Also goes by names: neelam, safir, yakut, zapphir

Mineral Composition: Corundum, Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3)

Mohs Scale Hardness: 9.0

Sources of Origin: We wish it was so simple to put gems into exclusive brackets with the shove of a glance. However, we have tried best to list a characteristic picture of gems from the main sources.

1. Kashmir

2. Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

3.Burma (Mogok)

4. Australia

5. Montana (USA)

6. Madagascar

7Thailand (kanchanaburi)

8.Tanzania

9. Kenya

This is also on of the reasons why we emphasize on why you should seek out unheated and untreated Blue sapphires. Treatments mask the natural flaws and characteristics of gems and can alter their appearance to unbelievable levels.

What you should look for in Your Blue sapphire

There is a lot of difference between a real gemstone and a stone. It could be the latter masquerading in the garb of the former. Please ascertain whether the gem you are about to purchase is –

– Jyotish Quality

– Natural

–Unheated

–Treatment-free

– Certification from a gem Lab

– Credentials of the seller

Blue Sapphire and the 4 Cs

Cut

Round

Emerald

Cushion

Oval

Princess

Baguette

Mixed

Marquise

Pear

Heart

Cabochon

Square emerald

Ovals and Cushions are the most popular cuts in Blue sapphires. As the complexity and fanciness quotient of the gem cut increases, so does the price but geometrically. A fancy cut requires sacrificing on the weight (quite a bit of caratage is lost to the shape and therefore the escalated cost)! Among the oval and cushions too, a cushion cut gem fetches a better price than an oval.

The cut impacts the brilliance of the gem in the biggest manner. Master cutting of gem ensures best play of light in a gem. If the cutter errs on cutting, especially vis- -vis the critical angle the light will leak away and neither the brilliance, nor the color of the gem is optimally displayed.

2. Color

The above image serves as a rough parameter for gauging the vast range of color of blue sapphires. Among those too, the saturation/ intensity of color will vary and so will the hues. Dark blue midnight tones, to rich velvety silks, to soft medium tones, to clear waters like a pristine soul such is the vast variation in the availability of the blue sapphires.

In trade terms, pricing of colored gemstone will be heavily influenced by hue, tone and saturation of color. The rich the color, higher the price.

3.Clarity

The crystalline features of the gem and presence/ absence of pits, feathers, needles, silk, twinning etc. determine the brilliance, transparency and appearance of the gem. Lesser the number of clarity characteristics in your natural gem, the higher priced it will be.

Eye Clean

Loupe clean

Over 95% clarity

Heavily included

Opaque Stone

Planetary gem therapy works on the principle of Passage of light, barring in the case of organic gems like pearl and coral. If your gem is poor quality/ opaque placebo, it is practically useless for jyotish purposes.

4. Carat weight

2.16 carat jyotish quality

6.25 ratti neelam

7.25 ratti neelam

You could well hang a kettlebell in your neck if you go by the prescribed weights doing rounds in market. It is always better to wear a jyotish quality gemstone rather than a STONE which will not be able to deliver any results at all.

The less said the better. The pictures speak a lot for themselves.
