JEWELLERY: These gems have life in them: their colors speak
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Gemstone. But, there are stones out there that aren't as tough as diamond, they aren't as famous as diamonds. Yet their beauty rivals that of even the most famous diamonds, the Hope Diamond.
Here's a few of these precious gifts from mother Earth
Demantoid Garnet
AlexandriteGood luck finding this extremely rare stone at you local jewelers. This is one of my favorites because it possesses a quality that only a hand full of other natural stones can stake claim to, color change. Alexandrite is a variety of Chrysoberyl, same family of gemstones that Emerald fall in, that displays a change -of-color from green to blue-green in daylight, and purple to purplish-red in incandescent light. It gets its name from a mineralogist who coined the term in honor of the Russian Czar that was coming of age at the time of its discovery, Alexander II.
Paraiba TourmalineI can picture myself floating adrift on a raft in the center of this stone, just off shore a deserted island. Relaxing with this crystal clear blue ocean beneath me. Paraiba is one of the most magnificent natural gemstones in the world. First found in Paraiba, Brazil, it's color varies from intense blue to green. It gets this beautiful color from copper being added to its composition. As the rarest and most expensive of all Tourmalines, this bad boy can easily reach tens of thousands per carat.
Padparadscha SapphireAnd last but definitely not least at all, we have this pink rose of a gem. the Padparadscha Sapphire. Padparadscha is a variety of corundum, the sapphire and ruby family. It's color is a pinkish orange, and it gets its name from the Sanskrit/Sinhalese padmaraga, a color similar to that of the lotus flower. Now-a-days, some define the gem's color as a blend of lotus and sunset shown below.
This stone set as a solitaire ring is sure to melt the heart of your special little lady.
Gemstones really are the flowers of the mineral world. I've been considering using one of these stones as a replacement for the traditional diamond ring, only problem is they can get up to 10x more expensive and even harder to find. But, I guarantee that the look on your Queen's face will be very well worth it.

When should diamond be worn
Diamond should be worn only when your horoscope shows a weak Shukra (your friendly planet), or when you face one or more of these following problems related to your mind and body.
Effects of weak Sukra / Venus on your personal life
* Being the indicator of love (Karaka) there may be repeated failures in your love life.
* Venus is the Karaka for beauty and charm, a weak Venus or Sukra will spoil your charm and personality.
* Karaka also signifies vehicles and a weak Sukra means heavy loses in matters pertaining to vehicles either through theft or accidents.
* Persons involved in the entertainment business will face repeated failures.
Effects of weak Sukra / Venus on your body
* In case of men, Sukra denotes sperms and a weaker nature can lead to low sperm count and thus affect reproductive system.
* The weakness of this planet will cause, lack of beauty, charm and grace, lack of taste or refinement, insensitivity and lack of love and affection. You may sometimes be offensive, crude and vulgar. For women a weak Sukra means low feminine qualities.
Specific details about the diamond to be worn
* It should at least be 1 carat in size
* It should be set in gold or white gold.
* It should be worn on the middle finger of the left or right hand.
Other unique features of diamond
* Diamond is the hardest substance known to man.
* It has the value of 10 on MOH's scale while Talc has 1.
* One of the main things that give diamonds such beauty is it's fabulous fire and sparkle. The quality of the gem's lustre termed adamantine is unique to diamond.
Other unique features of diamond
* It has a specific gravity of 3.52
* It has a refractive index of 2.42.
These guidelines can help you in selecting and testing a diamond for its originality. Substitutes are clear zircon (at least three carats) or quartz crystal. The latter is better used as pendants (at least five carats in size, preferably ten), or in strands.
Wearing your diamond for the first time
Wearing your lucky gemstone for the first time holds some significance. It is not advisable to wear your stone abruptly without paying due respect to it. You need to follow some strict norms if you want your stone to bring in maximum luck and good fortune.
Diamond should be worn first on a Friday during the 1st hour from sunrise, when the Moon is in Shukla Paksha or waxing, and Venus or Sukra occupies its house of exaltation, Meena or is in Vrishabha or Thula or in friendly signs, and not conjunct or strongly expected by malefic.
Wear it at the most auspicious time that has to be worked out as per your horoscope. Never choose the dates from a general panchang or almanac for that might not suit you. The dates referred in a panchang are based on broad perspective and may not match with your horoscope. To collect more details you can consult your astrologer.
Give life to your diamond
Any expensive gem is a piece of worthless coloured stone if it is not revered with respect and worn after performing certain rituals. Wearing a gem without proper mantras and poojas may not yield good results and serve the purpose. Follow the process honestly and avail all the benefits this mysterious stone has to offer.
* First wash your gem in rose water.
* Keep it immersed in milk for one hour during the first hour from sunrise starting from one Friday to the next Friday.
* Keep it in rose water until the chosen date.
On the chosen auspicious date invoke the blessings of Lord Vinayaka (Ganesh) and start off with recitation of his 108 names.
Mantra are associated with your planet Venue or Sukra and reciting them opens your way to Lord Sukra or Venus, who wears diamond on his crown.
Concentrate on form of Venus or any form of Venus you are familiar with and devoted to during recitation.
Recite the following mantra 108 times to acquire utmost advantage from your gem.
OM SIVA PUTRAYA VIDMAHE BHRUGU THANAYA DHEEMAHEE THANNO SUKRA PRACHODAYAT.
(OR)
OM DRAAM DREEM DROUM SAHA SUKRAYA NAMAHA.
This mantra should be recited every Friday during the first hour from Sunrise for 6 continuous Fridays. Lima beans indicate your planet so offer this seed in your pooja.
If you find all these steps confusing leave it to a qualified purohit.
Composition of diamonds
To most people, this is the finest gemstone of them all - and we have been amazed by its properties and beauties since earliest times. For its unsurpassed hardness - diamond is right at the apex of Moh's Scale - the Greeks gave the name adamas to this mineral, which means 'hard' and 'untamable'.

When should red coral be worn
Precious gemstones for time immemorial have been believed to change lives and bring in fortune and good luck. Specific gems have exclusive characters and fetch required changes if worn in a prescribed way.
If your horoscope finds the planet Mars as your weakest planet, then red coral is the ideal gemstone to be worn. You can also wear red coral when you face one or more of the following problems both related to you mind and body.
Effects of weak Mars/Kuja/Mangal in your personal life
* Lack of energy will disable your motivation.
* Continuous obstacles in work and inability to perform well will make it difficult for you to stand up for yourself.
* You may be over cautious and easily troubled by dominating people.
* You will be inexpressive and closed about your real feelings.
* You may be overly passive, easily controlled, and may be abused even physically.
Effects of weak Mars/Mangal/Kuja on your body
* Your immune system will be weak due to low appetite, poor food absorption. You will be low in weight with weak muscles, weak liver and small intestines. Hemorrhoids may be your major problem.
* You will be prone to frequent injuries, and healing would take a longer time.
* Men may lack sexual vitality.
Specific details of the red coral to be worn
* The colour of red coral is dark red.
* It should be at least 3 carats in size.
* It should be set in silver or in a alloy of gold and copper.
* It should be worn on the index or ring finger of the right hand.
* It should be of a good quality, without flaws and of bright red colour.
High quality red corals come from Naples, Corsica, Catatonia, Canary islands, Morocco, Algeria, Japan, Red Sea, Northern Australia, the Malaysian Archipelago.
The popular variety names of red coral are Arciscuro (also termed as Ox Blood because of its prominent dark red colour), Rosso Scuro, and Rosso. Red Coral stones are inexpensive and hence don't need substitutes, though carnelian can be used in this respect (generally as a large pendant).
Pink coral can also be used and has a more balancing and subduing effect, but has less strengthening effect on Kuja energy than the red coral.
When to wear your red coral for the first time?
To extract maximum benefits out of your gemstone you need to follow some custom before you wear it for the first time. Never wear your gemstone at the jeweler's place, which most people do out of old habits.
The best time to wear is during the first hour from sunrise, when Kuja is the strongest, on a Tuesday when Moon is waxing, preferably when Kuja is in its own sign or exalted.
Don't try experimenting with panchang or almanac to choose your day for it may not suit your horoscope as they give only a general perspective. Your astrologer can help you in deciding the period to wear your red coral.
Mantra for red corals
Any Gem is just an expensive piece of coloured stone, and wearing it without proper mantra and poojas will not serve the purpose.
Give life to your gemstone
* Wash your gem with rose water.
* Keep it immersed in milk for one hour during the first hour from sunrise starting from one Tuesday to the next Tuesday and place it again in rose water. Replicate this procedure for a week.
* On the chosen day invoke blessings of Lord Vinayaka(Ganesh) and recite 108 names of him.
* At the chosen time recite the following mantra that are associated with planet Kuja or Mars.
* Red coral also happens to be the gemstone studded on Lord Kuja's (Mars) crown.
* Imagine the planet in its form during reciting.
* One of the following mantra has to be recited 108 times.
OM MANGALAYA VIDMAHE. BHOOSUTHAYA DHEEMAHE THANNO SASISEKHARA PRACHODAYAT.
(OR)
OM KRAAM KREEM KROUM SAHA BHOUMAYA NAMAHA.
This mantra should be recited every Tuesday during the first hour from Sunrise for 9 Tuesdays continuously . The main ruling deity for red coral is Bhoomi or Earth Goddess and the main deity is Lord Skanda, the commander in chief of the army of Devas. The Mars God who rules red coral has a goat as his vehicle. The main grain pertaining to Lord Kuja is RED DHALS hence include them in all your poojas pertaining to red coral.
It would be a welcome idea if you could perform all these rituals by a qualified purohit.
For more details and guidance please consult your astrologer.
Composition of red corals
Close examination of red coral reveals that it is made of an aggregate of red coral polyp skeletons. These polyps are minute living creatures that live in vast colonies. When they die their skeletal remains - mostly calcium carbonate - build up to form massive red coral reefs.

Composition of red corals
Close examination of red coral reveals that it is made of an aggregate of red coral polyp skeletons. These polyps are minute living creatures that live in vast colonies. When they die their skeletal remains - mostly calcium carbonate - build up to form massive red coral reefs.
When should yellow sapphire be worn
If planet Jupiter happens to be your weakest planet according to your horoscope, then probably you cannot miss wearing a yellow sapphire. You can also wear a yellow sapphire if you face the following problems related to body and mind.
Effects of weak Jupiter / Guru on your personal life
* Guru is the lord of all auspicious celebrations and indicates wealth, and hence a weak Guru is the most unsuitable feature.
* Also called as Dhanakaraka, a weak Guru can give rise to permanent cash crunch.
* As the energy level is low, a weak Guru gives rise to lack of joy, enthusiasm, weak will and lack of faith. Life would be devoid of meaning and optimism. Depression, anxiety, melancholy, moodiness and self-pity would be felt through out. You may lack compassion, friendliness or congeniality. Since Guru also rules the creativity and production abilities of an individual, you may not be imaginative.
* Children will give you sleepless nights due to their stubbornness and unpleasant companies as guru indicates them. As guru also denotes husband, marital relationship will get a set back for women due to lack of energy in the spouse.
Effects of weak Jupiter / Guru on your body
* Guru rules major glands like liver and pancreas and lack of energy to thrive will lead to malfunctions of these glands leading to chronic diseases and nervous disorders.
* All these tribulations can be overcome if you act smart now and start wearing a yellow sapphire
Specific details of the yellow sapphire to be worn
* Yellow sapphire is golden yellow in colour.
* It should be set in Gold.
* It should be worn on the index finger of the right hand.
* It should be at least 2 carats in size.
* Its hardness on the Moh's scale should be 9 (highest is for Diamond-10)
* Its specific gravity is 4.00
* Its Refractive index is 1.76 - 1.77.
* Its crystal structure is Trigonal.
Yellow Topaz is a substitute of almost equal energy. Citrine, is a weaker one, and should be worn in a large ring (five carats), a pendant or strand. Yellow Zircon can also be used.
Wearing your yellow sapphire for the first time
* Your sapphire should be first worn on a Thursday during the first hour of the sunrise since Guru or Jupiter himself rules it. Never try your gemstone at the jeweler's place.
* On the first day you wear the stone, the Moon should be in a waxing phase and the Guru in its own sign exalted or in a friendly sign, in an exalted Navamsa.
* It is best if Guru is in conjunction with, or in an angle with the Moon. A nearby astrologer can throw more light on these mystifying concepts. Select an auspicious time to wear your stone that can be worked out as per your horoscope. Never choose the day by using a general panchang or almanac. The auspicious time published in a panchang is not specific and need not suit you and your horoscope.
Mantra for yellow sapphires
Your gem holds no meaning and is just a piece of expensive stone, if you do not follow certain norms before you start wearing it.

OM GURU DEVAYA VIDHMAHE, PARABRAHMANE DHEEMAHEE, THANNO GURU PRACHODAYAT.
(OR)
OM HRAAM HREEM HROUM SAHA BRUHASPATHAYE NAMAHA
[/size]
This mantra should be recited every Thursday during the first hour from sunrise for 9 continuous Thursdays. Guru or Jupiter is the preceptor of the Devas or Gods. His other names are Indra and Brahma, the ceator. His vehicle is the elephant. His legume is the chick peas, which can be included in your poojas.

Composition of yellow sapphires
The basic material of sapphire is known as corundrum - a colourless material formed from aluminium oxide. It is the addition of titanium and iron during the formation of the sapphire crystals that produces the beautiful yellow of this corundrum variety. Crystals of sapphire are found as hexagonal bi-pyramids - hexagonal pyramids arranged base to base. Because of its distinct shape, the sapphire is placed in the trigonal crystal system. Raw sapphire gemstones are usually water-worn, which gives them the appearance of miniature barrels
