GEM REPORT AND GEM RECOMMENDATION
We use the principles of Vedic Astrology/ Jyotish to recommend the gemstones that can have a positive impact on the individual. We follow the Graha Anukul method (Recommendation of Gemstones for positive planets as per the birth chart/horoscope) as recommended in the Planetary Gemologists Association code of ethics. For detailed information of Gem recommendation methodology please click here.
It is an opinion. Meanwhile this data shall help you- The Gemstone report consultation fee had been USD ($) 30/- since the year 2000! With no variation for over a decade! Finally on 01st Jan 2015, we are offering two versions of the report. A Brief Gemstone report for $15 and a comprehensive Gemstone Report for $51/-
This report is done by highly qualified consultants who have professional credentials from PGA/GIA - world class organizations besides having years of professional expertise and who have trained directly under Guruji Shrii Arnav! If you patiently go through the contents and methodology of the report you shall appreciate what we do and the end value that is delivered.
The consultation fee just ensures that we do analysis of real individuals who have real interest in this sacred science and not for someone who marks cc to several consultants. The most expensive thing we offer at Gemstoneuniverse is time followed by professional expertise followed by planetary gemstones in that order.

First and foremost the Gemstone recommendation in both the reports is exactly the same. The detailed Vedic Gem Report is for those who already have some basic Astrology knowledge and would like to know the detailed reasons for the gemstone recommendation.
We would request and recommend that you opt for the brief Gem report as all reports are done manually by us with no software. This will help us reduce some workload and deliver quality to a large community of individuals interested in Planetary Gem Therapy. The apex standard of the Gemstoneuniverse report ensures that our brief report itself will be much more detailed and deliver more value than any other recommendation.
At Gemstoneuniverse we are guided by the fundamentals principles of Gem Therapy given in Do Gemstones work- No they don’t for 90% of the people. We will recommend gemstones only if we feel that they will make a tangible positive difference to your life. If we feel that your chart is already optimized, or a gemstone will not make any difference etc we will not recommend any Gemstone to you. In this case a simple email is sent that No Gemstones are required and that your order is refunded back. Around 35% of all Gem Report requests are refunded. No further communication is entertained in this regard.
One Man’s Funny is another Man’s serious and one Man’s ridiculous is another one’s important. In our 20 years of practice these are the questions that come to us in a recurrent manner in various permutations and combinations and we thought it is best to have all of them here at one place as the answers to them and the organization’s approach and philosophy to these are the same regardless of the language or the expression. These are just here to save all of us a lot of time.
At Gemstoneuniverse for past 20 years we are driven by passion to serve Planetary Gem Therapy and the people and we strive for a 100% error free gem therapy and not by sales. If at any stage we feel that we shall not be able to deliver 100% error free gem therapy to you or if we feel that you shall not have 100% benefits by using Jyotish Gemstones for certain reasons we will not accept your order. Detailed reasons for the same can be accessed by clicking here.
Please send an e mail to service@gemstoneuniverse.com and if it is a valid question we shall try to get back to you in 1 business day if you are an existing patron or in 3-5 business days. You can call us during office hours. Details can be accessed at the link below:
In case you have given the wrong data you shall have to again place a fresh order and pay for the consultation. New Revised report cannot be sent for free.
First things first, as an organization policy we do not comment on any other consultant/ third party recommendation
Please note that in one chart there are thousands of combinations. What makes an impact and what does not needs a high degree of expertise and experience in this vast science of Astro Gemology and that is where we come in.
You have ordered a Gem report after duly considering the pros and cons of the same and because you judged that this recommendation is trustworthy and solution oriented.
But please be mindful that even though as per you, your information might be worth considering (As per stats in 99% and above cases it is not- In most cases its overzealous reading of poor material on the internet or some dubious information causing confusion- Remember we have stats for over a million exchanges including email records since 1996), It is not possible for us to discuss this information as it will be a disservice to several other patrons whose orders are in a queue. It is a sheer time wasting exercise. If you can self diagnose and self recommend you do not need our opinion at all.
Your Gem Report clearly states the reasons and all relevant information without any ambiguity that is adequate for successful Gem Therapy provided all conditions given here are met.
Due to lack of standardization in this field which we are trying very hard to overcome, 10 different people will have 10 different opinions.
However if you do not agree with the Gem recommendation then your sole remedy is to ignore the recommendation. No further discussion on the same is entertained.
If you do your research since 1996, this is the most authoritative and rewarding gem recommendation with recommendations made for more than 4,00,000 charts and objectives and sale of 1,00,000 plus Jyotish Gemstones.
Request you to kindly read our 100% error free Gem Therapy approach and mission and kindly also help us in staying focussed on the same. We can only help you only if you allow us too. Request you to read the links in the answer for a better appreciation of the same.
"GEM THERAPY AND IMPLEMENTATION
Planetary Gem Therapy/ Vedic Gem Therapy is the science of harnessing powerful and pure planetary energies in accordance with the laws of Vedic Astrology. Each planet and its gem has a particular kind of energy which can be harnessed for material goals and/ or spiritual goals. Each Gem has a profound impact on the chakras (energy centres) of the body and the biorhythm. The links below explain in detail how Gemstones make an impact.
We use the principles of Vedic Astrology/ Jyotish to recommend the gemstones that can have a positive impact on the individual. We follow the Graha Anukul method (Recommendation of Gemstones for positive planets as per the birth chart/horoscope) as recommended in the Planetary Gemologists Association code of ethics. For detailed information of Gem recommendation methodology please click here.
Yes, you can provided your recommendation with the analysis is coming from a professional consultant who is an expert in Planetary Gemology! If your recommendation is coming from Gemstoneuniverse then the reasons are clearly mentioned in the report. Kindly do not contact us asking the same question for a reaffirmation. The information/ recommendation is not going to change.
Certain special conditions as given on the link below warrant the use of mutually inimical gemstones for a beneficial planetary gemstone therapy for good tangible results.
If your recommendation for the Blue Sapphire is from Gemstoneuniverse and if you are purchasing a Blue Sapphire from the Gemstoneuniverse inventory, you do not need a trial. Every single gemstone that makes it to the Gemstoneuniverse inventory is Jyotish Quality, certified and free from any flaws as listed in the sacred texts. You shall get positive results only. For more information on Jyotish Quality, please access the link below:
The sacred science of Planetary Gemology is very vast and most of the information over the internet is like you said ”General”. Information such as wearing a Red Coral in the middle finger (The finger of Saturn) is information available to a privileged few. Please follow the recommendation as given in your report and you shall have positive results. More information can be found at this link:
Complete information on this can be found at the link below:
Gems do work provided the recommendation is correct and you use Jyotish Gemstones not just stones. Please go through the Video Testimonials where reputed individuals with their names and designations speak about the gem therapy and the text testimonials where the testimonial has been linked to the Gemstone/ Gemstones purchased. These can be accessed at:
For the most definitive answer to this question please click the link below:
No the gem has to be Jyotish quality to give results. It can be any shape, the results will not vary if it is Jyotish Quality. Go for a shape and cut which appeals to you most.
What is Jyotish Quality:
No the origin does not matter. What matters is that the gemstone has to be Jyotish Quality. If a Gem has qualified to be Jyotish Quality, it shall give results regardless of the origin. There is no truth in statements such as a Colombian Emerald will be more effective than a Zambian One. What matters is that the Gemstone is Jyotish Quality.
Recently we received an e mail from a patron that reads:
Can you kindly give instructions or write an article about how to take care of your gemstone ring or pendant.
1) Do I take it off when I am taking a shower?
2) Do I take it off when I am washing my hand after using the restroom?
3) Do I take it off when having moments of physical intimacy?
4) Do I take it off when I am using my hand to eat, since it is on the right hand.
5) Can I wash it if it is dirty?
6) How do I clean it up, or with what type of soap?
7) Since I work in the hospital, do I need to take it off before surgery or making intravenous solutions for patient?
We receive queries similar to these quite often and this knowledgebase resource should address this issue:
You are not supposed to take off your gemstone ring in any condition including those listed above. The only time you should take off your ring is when attending a funeral, visiting a cremation ground or a cemetery. Take off your ring at home and after coming back take a shower and wear it back on facing East direction.
Our patrons who are Doctors especially who are surgeons are advised to wear the Gemstone in form of a pendant. In case you are wearing a ring please take it off and after completion of the procedure please wear it back right away facing East direction without any delay time.
These issues were addressed by Guruji Shrii Arnav in his article - Do Gemstones work-No They don?t for 90% of the people.

Even though there is no universal agreement on this one we suggest as and when you feel like. Jyotish Gemstones are so powerful we have many patrons who upgrade every 1-2 years. The optimum time for changing the gemstones is listed below and gives good results.
Diamond-7 Years
Sapphire-Blue/Yellow, Emerald, Ruby- 5 years
Coral, Cat’s Eye, Hessonite- 3 years
Natural Pearl- 2 years, 2 months, 27 days.
If you started Gem Therapy with Upratna or an entry level gemstone and it has delivered results you must wait before you upgrade it for full benefits. To know more please click here
In that you can do three things
a. Wait till you are in a financial position to buy the natural, untreated gemstone.
b. Buy two/ three natural, untreated gemstones of lower weight to get the recommended carat age. A single gemstone of higher weight is more expensive than two gemstones of smaller weight. For example if you have been recommended an Emerald of 4 carats and you cannot go for it buy two emeralds of 2 carats and set them in a single ring or pendant. This can bring the price down to anywhere from 30% to 70%. Real Time examples of this strategy can be viewed at the link below:
http://gemstoneuniverse.com/blog/category/unique-implementation-of-gem-therapy/
c. Go for semi precious gemstones or Uparatna. Many patrons have got excellent results with Jyotish Quality Upratnas, please read the testimonials. Read more on upratnas at the following article:
If you are wearing a Jyotish Gemstone than it is 100% effective. If it is not a Jyotish Gemstone than it is not effective!. There is no gemstone that is 10,20,50 0r 70 percent effective. This assumption is incorrect and you can read more about it in detail at the link given below:

How to choose a Vedic Gemstone/ Flaws to avoid in a Jyotish Gemstone
Your Planetary Gemstone is consecrated in our Vedic Temple following all necessary steps as prescribed in the sacred texts. This process is essential so that the Gemstone is sync with you and your objectives. Detailed information on this can be found at the link below:
Consecration of your talisman – Encrypting your spiritual DNA

That is not possible. Details can be found at the link below:

Yes, in very rare cases, it’s possible to have absolutely no impact and see no positive changes despite correct recommendation and wearing only Jyotish Quality Gemstones. Statistically we have seen the following hindrances due to which there is no benefit from Gem Therapy:
- Incomplete implementation of Gem Therapy- You have been recommended 2-3 gemstones. You have worn one and waiting for it to show some effect before you wear the other Gemstones - Incorrect Assumptions is an article that elaborates this point.
- You have based your decision to implement Gem Therapy influenced by someone else’s experience/ testimonial. For instance, your friend registers sudden progress and turn-around of fortune after wearing gems and you aspire for similar change (without considering own astrological parameters). Unrealistic expectations from Gem Therapy could shed light on this peculiar hindrance.
- You have been trying multiple therapies/ remedial measures at the same time. This can include mantras, chakra balancing, angel healing etc. Do Gems work no they don’t for 90% of the People is an exceptional resource to understand the Gem therapy as a remedy.
- You have a deeply incapacitating planetary position which has led to error due to flawed perception and thinking.
Yes we have documented cases wherein Individual has ordered a Jyotish gemstone but has been wearing it in the wrong finger and some cases where patience is the missing component.
There have been cases of severe negative karma that can be set right only by submitting to God himself.
These are some of the rare cases where Gem Therapy has no impact. The best remedy in such a case is service/ Seva of any kind. One example could be, volunteering to do service in a hospital for an hour a week etc. or spending time in an orphanage.

We stand by our recommendation and detailed reasons are clearly mentioned in the Gemstone report sent to you and the recommendation will not change. At Gemstoneuniverse, we can only speak for ourselves and have a singular policy of not commenting on any other 3rd party opinion.
However for some of the examples that may be related to your case you can click here. Whatever is our professional opinion is clearly mentioned in the report and it is not possible to discuss the same information again and again.
Yes in certain cases it’s possible but it depends on your horoscope and its analysis.

Even though majority of the patrons never do this and are fully satisfied before they order some actually cite the money that they have spent and are continuously looking for Astrological advice. In some cases we have had follow-up cases from 1999 also!
Most of such cases do not think of the benefits already received but have the unrealistic expectation that by spending a particular amount every single issue will get resolved.
Please note that you have spent money and in exchange you have something precious whose value is clearly described on the invoice.
If you have any issue you have the lifetime buyback and exchange policy to leverage. Citing an amount to get a consultation is not the way to go.

No the gem has to be Jyotish quality to give results. It can be any shape, the results will not vary if it is Jyotish Quality. Go for a shape and cut which appeals to you most.
What is Jyotish Quality:
No the origin does not matter. What matters is that the gemstone has to be Jyotish Quality. If a Gem has qualified to be Jyotish Quality, it shall give results regardless of the origin. There is no truth in statements such as a Colombian Emerald will be more effective than a Zambian One. What matters is that the Gemstone is Jyotish Quality.
To identify a Jyotish Gemstone requires expertise, education and practice, which is not available in the market. Treated and heated gemstones are not Jyotish Gemstones, which is obvious, but there is no guarantee that even if the gem is untreated and natural it is Jyotish Quality. Only Jyotish Quality Gems give results. The links below shall explain in detail the value of this information.

There is a lot of difference between flaws and inclusions. Inclusions are the birth marks of a Gemstone and often are the definitive markers whether a Gemstone has been treated or not. To be able to identify flaws or inclusions such as silk (a characteristic inclusion) in unheated sapphires you would need quality education, information, real time working and examination with numerous sample gemstones. In other words, you would have to be a gemmologist. From our side we can assure you as the Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology every single gemstone that makes it to the Gemstoneuniverse inventory is a Jyotish Quality Gemstone free from any flaws as listed in the sacred texts.
Real Gemstones are valuable and cheap stones are worthless, you need to be able to identify a Gemstone from a stone.Please follow the links below to get authoritative information about the pricing of colored gemstones and the market conditions.

Absolutely, in fact if you have the skill sets you can buy from us and sell to vendors and not end users and book a profit. Nowhere you shall get this sheer range of only Jyotish Gemstones , Quality and this price. We are able to do it because of reasons listed at the links below:
http://gemstoneuniverse.com/blog/category/value-additionthe-insider-the-gemstoneuniverse-advantage/
Treatments can be broadly classified as ethical treatments and non-ethical treatments. Treatments done to stabilize gem color such as heating without any elements is an ethical treatment provided it is disclosed at the time of the sale. This particular heat treatment is considered acceptable as it mimics a process that occurs in nature. As per the policy of ethical disclosure any treatment should be clearly explained to the customer before the closure of the sale.
Treatments done to modify gemstone appearance to sell at a higher price is an unethical treatment. For examples Sapphires treated with Beryllium or Emeralds treated with Green dye and sold as untreated are unethical treatments. When the above conditions operate the gemstone is minimally effective and in some cases it is not effective at all. Natural, Untreated gemstones come at a premium price.
In a single word, NO. They may be used for Jewellery and cosmetic purposes but they have no planetary value. As per the PGA code of ethics individuals dealing in synthetics are in the PGA off list. You can access this list here PGA OFF List.
At the very outset we would like to clarify two things:
1) Before the gem is set in a ring/ pendant it is sent for certification. If the gemstone has any crack the gemstone is not certified.
2) After the gemstone is set it is sent for appraisal. If the gemstone has any damage or crack then it is not appraised.
Blue Sapphire is made of Aluminium Oxide. What you are seeing and what is appearing to you as a crack is: Silk - three directional needles of rutile intersecting at 60° / 120°; Needles of boehmite intersecting at almost 90°; Needles of ilmenite etc and Parallel polysynthetic twin lamellae that give that optical phenomena that is appearing as a crack.
Please understand that if there was a crack the gemstone would not have been certified or appraised.
Please wear your gemstone with confidence.
Your Gemstone ring/ Pendant goes through stringent Quality controls before it is shipped. Please do not get confused and take inclusions as cracks.
Please send an e mail to service@gemstoneuniverse.com and if it is a valid question we shall try to get back to you in 1 business day if you are an existing patron or in 3-5 business days. You can call us during office hours. Details can be accessed at the link below:
There is no periodicity in upload of new inventory. Real natural Gemstones are rare and Jyotish Gemstones are even rarer. We are devoted to the sacred science of Planetary Gem therapy and to keep result oriented flawless gem therapy we list only Jyotish Gems. The criteria for a Gem to be Jyotish Gem are very strict and very few gemstones make the cut as Jyotish Quality. Even though we have thousands of Gems at our buying division we only list those that are Jyotish Quality and not just any gem.
Please visit Gemstoneuniverse Buying division to assess the quantum of inventory that we carry:
Please visit the link below for Jyotish Quality Gemstones. Gem therapy works with only Jyotish Quality Gemstones.
Natural and untreated does not essentially mean that the Gem is Jyotish Quality. For more information please visit the link for more information
Natural, Untreated, Expensive Gemstone and Still not Jyotish Quality!
Each Gem listed on Gemstoneuniverse is a true Jyotish Gemstone with a promise to deliver results as per Planetary Gem therapy.
All Gem Labs in the world have their own formats for certifying a Gem.
In any standard Gemstone certification worldwide 5/6 pieces of Information are the most vital.
1) Identification of the Gemstone Family such as Ruby or Sapphire (this is done by determining many factors such as Refractive index, specific gravity etc and this academic data is standard for all gemstones hence RI/ SG are not mentioned as this uniform data is available in all Gem Tables and if this academic data is also reported in the certificate then there will be no space for the most vital data).
2) Cut 3) Weight 4) Measurements of the Gem 5) Colour 6) Remarks about Treatment if any. The word natural by convention is only used for Untreated Gemstones.
Why a particular lab uses a particular set of language and why other does not use the same language (In Gemological Terms they mean one and the same thing) is not under our control. If you have an issue with a particular certificate then do not purchase that Gem and choose a Gem whose certification is more acceptable to you. For this you should get directly in touch with the lab. For more information on the same please click here.

I am buying a very expensive Gemstone/s. My whole family has bought Gemstones from you. Can you offer me a discount-and other similar queries?

Since 1996 at Astro Journey and Gemstoneuniverse we have never offered discounts, promotions, sales offers etc. What we believe in is providing sheer unmatched price, quality and value and the best professionals in the Gem field negotiate for you. We call this as the unmatched price policy and should you want to know more about in detail please click here.

This is for fresh transaction/ single transaction only and does not include past purchases or purchases made earlier by family or friends.
As per Gemstoneuniverse promise and tradition followed for 23 years once a Gem is listed at a particular price we never change the price however extraordinary the situation economic or otherwise.( Please note that sometimes slight price changes occur due to real time currency movement and exchange rates as mandated by the RBI( Reserve Bank of India). We have no control over this. From our side there is one universal price worldwide.

Yes, it is possible. However, before we start work on any design we have to ascertain two vitally important things
1) The design ensures safety of your gemstone.
2) The Gemstone touches the skin and is effective for planetary gem therapy. We shall get back to you with the expert opinion of the bench jeweller and if the above two conditions are fulfilled we shall send you a custom quote and start work on your design.
We shall get back to you after getting your custom quote from our bench jeweller.
The most important criteria for us on the usage of Gold is that your gemstone is entirely secure in the setting. Figures below denote the amount of Gold used in your ring designs/ pendants.
For patrons who are a bit on the Large side (US ring size 8/ Asian ring Size 17 or higher), we will have to charge you a different rate of Gold depending on your size and the design that you choose. For silver there is same uniform rate all along. You can check out normally and after having your ring size and design and post consultation with the bench jeweller we shall get back to you with the exact quote on Gold so that you can pay the balance by a customized link.
We welcome you to send your own customized designs. In case you have a particular design in mind please scan and e mail us the picture. After consulting with our bench jewellers we shall revert back with a customized quote. Please also specify the correct code of the Gemstone that you have chosen

No, Unless and Until your order value is USD ($) 10,000/ INR 7,00,000/- and above for a single ring/ pendant or requires high degree of customization( accepted by us on email) we shall not be able to send you picture/ video of the ring before shipping.
If we were to accept this we will have to do it for all our patrons as a policy and given the volume and value of our work, goal of 100% error free Gem therapy and the security issues involved we discourage this practice.
If you want to see finish of our products and workmanship please click here to visit the Blog and see 1500+ shipped out pieces with photos and videos. This will give you a fair assessment of our quality and work.
If you feel that this is of prime importance to you, we suggest that you do NOT place the order in the first place.
This occurs due to a simple oxidation process in nature leading to tarnish. You can get the shine back on your ring/ pendant in 5 minutes by following the guidelines by clicking here
SHIPPING AND TRACKING
After receiving your order we require 3 business days to make your ring, pendant or talisman in the most auspicious time selected by Vedic Astrology. 2 business days are required for consecrating and energizing your ring, pendant and talisman. 2 business days are required for certification and appraisal. Once the package is dispatched you should receive it in 7-10 business days.
Note: Please note that Bhasma Rings will be shipped in 14 days from the date of placement of order as they require extra design element and work
You are ordering a valuable product and it should be backed by extensive documentation, insurance and appraisal that should have value throughout your life. At the core of Gemstoneuniverse is transparency and these are the actuals incurred to ensure a world class service and products that is backed by a lifetime guarantee.
The shipping component is not just shipping but includes certification, appraisal, insurance and door delivery with documentation that proves the value of your precious jewellery. At Gemstoneuniverse we do not resort to gimmicks like including the shipping in the product cost or free shipping. This cost is well worth it. Some patrons find it surprising when their product cost is less than the shipping.
This happens because the value Gemstoneuniverse delivers to you in terms of price, selection and convenience. For example the lustrous treatment free hessonite that we offer you at $90 per carat would not be available at most of the retail stores and the average price for that would be anywhere from $125-$150 per carat provided you buy a whole lot. Hence in some cases this surprising scenario occurs. The complete value of Certification, Appraisal, Insurance, marking of caratage when calculated for one single gemstone would range anywhere from $250-$350/-.
It is our numbers and consistency that gets us volume discounts from the Laboratories/ other associated agencies which we forward to you as a Gemstoneuniverse advantage and not as freebies. Your charge of $125 in shipping includes all this and is just not shipping.
Detailed information on shipping can be accessed here.
Patrons located in the USA and Canada do not have to pay any duties/ extra charges and the packages are door delivered. For more information on duties in other regions please click here:
