Famed Kashmir Color Blue Sapphire.gemstoneuniverse.com

Good News. Natural Sri Lankan Blue Sapphire lot acquired today that is very close to the famed Kashmir Color.Gemstoneuniverse.com

A small lot of beautiful, fully Natural Blue Sapphires have been acquired today. What makes these beauties special is that they come close to the famed Kashmir color. The Soomjam Mine that closed several years ago produced these beauties that are still heavy in demand due to their distinctive color.

This lot comes close to that color and is nearly eye clean.

Currently under the process of classification and certification. It should be uploaded to our online inventory of Blue Sapphires in around 3 weeks time.

You can access the Blue Sapphire inventory online at the following link:

Natural White Sapphire lot that is natural, colourless, top quality white and most importantly unenhanced. Gemstoneuniverse.com

Finally we get a Natural White Sapphire lot that is natural, colourless, top quality white and most importantly unenhanced. Gemstoneuniverse.com

Our patrons have asked us several times in the past two years that Why the White Sapphire section has been empty.

Actually, for the past two years we have evaluated several lots of White Sapphires but all of them had some flaw that renders them ineffective for Jyotish Purposes. Some had several inclusions, some had a shade of brown or yellow and most of them had been heated.

Natural Unheated White Sapphires in today’s market are very hard to come by. Fortunately, we have been able to procure a small lot of top quality white colourless White Sapphires. Each of these is a beauty and some of the pieces remind of big sized famed Golconda diamonds of the Yore. Each piece is perfect with scintillating lustre.

This lot is currently under the process of certification and classification and should be in the online White Sapphire inventory in roughly about 2 weeks time.

White Sapphire is the preferred alternative for Diamond as per sacred texts and gives excellent results for Venus-the planet of beauty and luxury. You will experience beautiful Venus energy in this lot of fine White Sapphires.

Experience Citrine Magic and learn about two important things related to this widely available gemstone. Gemstoneuniverse.com

Grab this before it goes.

Brazil Citrine-No Heat . Lot of 1080 carats. Gemstoneuniverse.com

Trust Gemstoneuniverse.com to come up with unbelievable offers. This gorgeous Brazil Citrine lot is a total of a whopping 1080 carats. Each citrine is Gem quality with no heat. The final price per carat is $3, hence this total lot is available for $3240/-.  This would be of great use for those involved in crystal therapy and healing practices.

Each of these gemstones would retail individually anywhere between the price band of $25 to $75. Individual pieces are not for sale. This price is for the whole lot.

Citrine is basically Yellow Quartz. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the earth’s crust while the first one is Feldspar. Citrine is nowhere related to Topaz and the term Golden Topaz is a misnomer. ,

Unscrupulous dealers have given false name for Citrine so unaware buyers think they are buying more valuable Topaz. Citrine and Topaz belong to two different families of gemstones.

In the Indian subcontinent citrine is sold under the false name of Golden Topaz and as a substitute for Yellow Sapphire. Nothing can be more farther from the truth. This gemstone which is also known as Sunela/ Sunhela in the local language gives very poor results when it is used as a substitute for Yellow Sapphire. Most commercially available citrine is artificially heated Amethyst or treated quartz.

This gemstone should best be avoided as a Yellow Sapphire substitute. Yellow Heliodor gives far better results for planet Jupiter.

Our statistically collected data shows that individuals who have used Heliodor as a Yellow Sapphire substitute have got very good results.

Citrine though is a beautiful gemstone and has tremendous healing potential and has its importance in crystal therapy.

1)     Citrine/ Sunhela  is not Golden Topaz. The name Golden Topaz is a misnomer.

2)     Citrine gives very poor result/ no result as a Yellow Sapphire substitute.
