Aum and the Circle of Life-The Divine Chatur Ratna Pendant

Circle of Life Om Pendant Talisman with Precious Gemstones

If there is existence, there is angst. If there is a pain body, there is pain. However, if the individual is rooted firmly, the journey of life becomes an enriching experience. The talisman featured today is a rich as well as powerful amalgamation of energies that can give an individual progress, protection, sense of security and confidence and keep one rooted in reality even while one plays in the world of Maya.

At the core of the talisman is the Pranava Aum, the primordial sound, the seed of creation, that force which embodies the powers of the trinity – Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh! It is really impossible to say enough about Aum or explain this master key to life â€“ a symbol that holds the secrets of existence.

Aum is the sonic absolute, the underlying rhythm that controls the play. When an individual is able to root oneself in this simple truth, and recognise the power encapsulated in this three-syllabled package, the universal energies lovingly embrace the being.

The Pranava Aum is surrounded by four gems that symbolise protection for the being from the keepers of the four cardinal directions. The four gems also symbolize the four purusharthas – aiming at centring the individual to fulfil the goals in this life. The four purusharthas or goals are – Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.

While dharma is the essential foundation of the attainment of other three goals, Artha and Kama are goals that help humankind and society on a larger level to flourish. It perpetuates the world. Moksha is ultimately the liberation of the soul from the bondage of Maya and the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

Dharma: Righteousness

Artha: Wealth

Kama: Desire

Moksha: Liberation

With the energies of the natural planetary gems and the cosmic forces, this talisman is a special one.

February 23, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

What is Katela – Amethyst and its Effectiveness in Alcohol Addiction

Natural Untreated Amethyst

The amethyst is one of the most alluring gemstones from the entire smorgasbord – be it the alluring color, the appeal or its versatility to sit beautifully in any piece of jewelry. The amethyst is a purple quartz that has an amazing range of saturation of color – from the light purple tones to the coveted purple with red flashes, when viewed in light, termed the deep Siberian purple.

The amethyst is also known as Katela in Hindi is an upratna for natural blue sapphire. Aside of harnessing the powers of planet Saturn or Shani as he is known, it is a gem known for helping heal dependency on alcohol. When used properly it ensures that the wearer instinctively does not feel the need to consume alcohol and even if one tries to indulge, one does not enjoy ultimately leading to freedom from alcohol. It is also a wonderful gemstone for fine tuning one’s meditative capacity and is excellent for fine tuning intuition. It makes the heart free from complexes, traumas and other psychological barriers.

Madagascar Iolite – A Gem Full of Wonder

February 18, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Madagascar Iolite – A Gem Full of Wonder

Natural Madagascar Iolite of 2.27 carats Gemstoneuniverse

The iolite is a beautiful gem. This mineral which is also known as cordierite or dichroite, is a hydrated magnesium (iron) aluminium silicate. The mineral is marked by pleochroism or the phenomenon where the gemstone appears to be of different colors when viewed from different angles.

This gemstone is also known by the older trade names of the Vikings Gemstone, water sapphire and Lux sapphire. The iolite can display a beautiful velvety violet blue and at the same time show a watery clarity when rotated also displaying a range of color from honey yellow to deep blue. Just click on the video link below as you will be able to witness the phenomenon as the gem rotates in the frame!

The iolite is a hard gem with orthorhombic crystal structure, but the gemstone cleaves easily and reacts badly to pressure and heat. The iolite must be cut and polished with care and in the right direction to bring out the best display and intensity of color.

Known for its metaphysical properties, the iolite is a gem that is a regarded to be highly beneficial in restoring self-confidence through inspiring discipline and balance. It helps an individual to come out from a place of disorientation, purposelessness and lack of motivation. It can help individuals drop the feeling of being jinxed or affect by evil-eye and move forward without fear.

The 4C’s of Colored Gemstones & their application in choice of a perfect planetary Gem

What Problems Can Astrology & Jyotish Gemstones Solve? Can they solve My Unique problems

Which is the Best Gemstone Choosing Method | Which Gemstone Should I wear

Do Gems Work- No They Don’t for 90% of the People-Why?.

What results Can I expect from Jyotish Gemstones?

The 4C’s of Colored Gemstones & their application in choice of a perfect planetary Gem

Natural Blue Sapphire of 4.02 carats

Even though there are many parameters that need to be factored in before one can choose one’s special gemstone the foundation rests on the classical 4C’s.

What are the 4C’s of colored Gemstones?

The 4C method was formally developed by the GIA-Gemological Institute of America. These 4C’s are

Cut

Color

Clarity

Carat Weight

Cut

The overall Shape or design of a gemstone is referred to as the cut. The cut of a colored gemstone also has significant bearing on the price per carat. Some gemstones are traditionally cut in particular shapes. Like the Emerald has always commanded more price when cut in the Emerald cut, and Sapphires are considered more desirable in the oval cuts.

Classical Gem Cuts ChartWhat ever may be the cut, it has to be made sure that the maximum play and penetration of light takes place so as to bring out the brilliance and scintillation of the color of the gemstone.

The more masterfully crafted the gemstone the better the polish and blemish free surface the costlier the gemstone.

Exotic and unusual shapes, like round, Pear etc are priced at a premium as shaping the gems into these shapes leads to more wastage of the raw material/gem roughs.

A good cut adds beauty to a Gemstone and ensure that each facet reflects light in an alluring manner.

Color.

In the world of colored Gemstone everything is color. The more alluring the color, more is the beauty of the gemstone. The world color in the world of Gemstones is not so simple. Color is everything in a colored Gemstone. Gemstone color is made up of Hue Tone and Saturation.

The purest color begets premium price. By purest we mean that minimal to no hues of other colors are present in it, have high levels of saturation and also have the best tones. Also one must keep in mind that color may vary from region to region.

Color itself is made of hue, tone and Saturation.

Hue: Impression of color immediately such as red, blue or Violet is known as Hue.

Colored Gemstones Hue ChartTone: The degree of lightness or darkness of an object is referred to as the tone

Colored Gemstones Tone ChartSaturation: Degree of purity of the hue is the Saturation.

When you are evaluating color you should also try to assess how would a Gemstone look after being set in a finished piece of Jewellery?

The Same gemstone would look remarkably different in 18K Yellow Gold, 18K White Gold, 18K Rose Gold or on use of extra design elements or use of accent gemstones etc.

The Gemologist’s expertise should be leveraged to get a good color and the Gemologist’s experience will ensure maximum value for the client.

Just focus on one color to keep this simple. Are all blues same. No they are not. Notice the sheer range of Blue

Clarity

The relative freedom from inclusions is known as clarity characteristics. Lesser the clarity characteristics better the Gemstone. Although inclusions that do not hinder the beauty or color of the gemstones are generally acceptable!

And also fine inclusions are proof that the gem is natural and untreated. However there are some gemstones in which fine characteristic inclusions are accepted, like Emeralds and to some extent Rubies. Gemmologists refer to these fine inclusions in Emeralds as Jardins.

Carat Weight

Colored Gemstones are measured in carats. 1 carat is equivalent to approximately 0.2 grams. Carat weight is sometimes also expressed in cents or points. 100 points/ 100 cents are equivalent to 1 carat. Hence 57 points means .57 carats.

Provided the Gemstone excels on the above 3 C’s the higher the carat weight the rarer the Gemstone but please don’t be confuse a gemstone and a stone. A brick is not equivalent to a diamond. More details here.

Gemstoneuniverse.com Table Of Natural Blue Sapphire Gemstone Facts

Gemstone	Natural Blue Sapphire
Weight	4.02 carats
Treatment	None. Fully Natural,
Origin	Srilanka
Planetary Energy	Saturn
Patron Location	Bangalore,India
All inclusive Price	$ 2929.05 / INR 162562
Comments	Featured today is a 4C masterpiece. Let’s apply the knowledge we gained in the resource above to this exotic Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka. The rectangular cushion cut with a finely faceted pavilion is making the cut scintillating and ensures a maximum play of light. See how a good cut makes the electric lustre make a profound effect on the senses.

The Color is silky cornflower blue a much desired colored in Sapphires. Ravishing color that is making the Sapphire look royal. Notice the even spread of color throughout the crystal and that when combining with the cut described above is making it very special. The exceptional clarity is again adding value and the best part is it is 4+ carats. To get an unheated earth mined Sapphire at this weight is very rare.

This Blue Sapphire get a befitting setting in a silver ring with the sacred Saturn symbols and it gets further empowered with the sacred ash of Lord Saturn-Shani sealed in the tow tubes around the Blue Sapphire. A truly liberating and empowering Planetary Talisman par excellence.

The Gemstoneuniverse Value Addition:

This Particular Blue Sapphire was listed in October 2010 at Gemstoneuniverse but went to its owner in January 2013. Listed at a price of $685 per carat at the time of listing this will not be the sourcing cost today given its features and the 4C’s. As always, once a Gem is listed the price never gets changed at Gemstoneuniverse and we firmly believe that a Jyotish Gem chooses its owner rather than the other way around.

Story carried by National Duniya Newspaper on Fake Gemstones in the Indian Markets

January 13, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Dear Patrons,

We shall showcase relevant industry news from now on through the blog. The following piece was published in the Hindi daily National Duniya on 12^th Jan 2013 on page 12. Clicking on the image shall give you the full sized clip. For benefit of patrons who are not conversant with Hindi, the Gemstoneuniverse team has literally translated the piece into English.

Quantum of People trying to get good luck through glittering Gemstones is increasing.

Box CaptionsHeated, Treated Everything available in the marketThe business ofÂ magic, tona totka has also increased.

Indian Markets are flooded with fake Gemstones

When an individual starts losing hope on tomorrow and one’s own strength he takes recourse to God. To climb the ladder to success in an instant, One takes recourse to Astrology, Tantra Mantra, Magic etc. All across TV channels and several other places there is a flood of Yantras and Gems that bring success.

Due to this reason in Karol Bagh , a Gem testing Lab-IGL has got increased business. Associated with the lab for a long time Sumant Jha admits that these days the demands for Stones, Rudrakshas, Three legged frog, tortoise and other Feng Shui Items has increased but heated and Treated Gemstones and other fake gemstones have come into the market.

According to a source working in the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion council(GJEPC), the faith in Astrology is seen in the prosperous and the well off segment of the society. Out of 10, at least -7 people are wearing Gemstones. Bureaucrats to businessmen are wearing Gemstones. Political leaders of considerable strength and repute to bureaucrats are sporting Gem studded rings to increase their fortune.

Due to this reason the Gemstone market is growing any where from 13% to 50% per annum. He says that in New Delhi alone the market for Gemstones and feng shui items is around 1000 crores.

However Gem expert Sumant Jha states that even though the market is growing the presence of fake Yellow Sapphire, Emerald and Ruby is increasing. The numbers of experts who can distinguish a fake gem from an original are diminishing. In some labs Gem are being synthetically manufactured. Even 1 mukhi Rudraksha to 11 Mukhi Rudraksha fakes can be manufactured and these fakes are being sold at very high prices.

Sumant Jha states that wearing of Gems has a scientific foundation. Due to gems the rays of the Sun can be harnessed at a rapid speed hence that the gem has an effect is Natural. Three legged frog, tortoise, 1mukhi Rudraksha and Gems like Blue Sapphire are original then it does not take much time to get good fortune. He even claims that Gems are used for treatment of medical conditions.

Acharya Preetam Dev Shastri states that 10 years back people coming for consultations was quite less but the numbers of such people have suddenly increased. Most of the people have a desire to get rich fast or for getting promotion in career.

Sambhavanand has a different take in on this. He believes that the system of the country is weakening. From Education, health care facilities to several areas are in a downfall but the desire of individuals towards prosperity has increased. This is the reason that the demand for gemstones has increased.

There is a mention in “De Lapidibus” composed by Marbode, of the use of peridot to get rid of nightmares and fear of dark. Marbode or Marbodius was the Bishop of Rennes, whose verse treatise on the virtues of stones was one of the most popular lapidaries through the 16th century.

The emerald as a gemstone tends to have more number of inclusions. It is singularly because of the fact that it does not grow in pockets, in isolation trapped away forming clear crystals.
