Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology!

Things we don’t like and you shouldn’t either- The Coral-Red/White that you are wearing might just be a Camel Bone or plastic and has no Jyotish Value. Scam watch alert. Cases leading to failure of Gemstone therapy!

In recent times we have come across Corals both white and red those are not corals at all. These are sold on various auctions websites and some astrology websites and we actually paid to procure them to unearth this sham.

What is a Coral?

Corals are actually the skeletal remains of a marine polyp. The fleshy skin polyps secrete a carbonic substance from which Coral grows like branches and trees in the warm waters of the ocean at a depth ranging from 10 feet to 500 feet.

Around 95% of the Coral is made up of Calcium Carbonate, around 3 % of magnesium carbonate and trace elements of iron.

There is heavy demand for organic Red Coral from Japan as it has the characteristic Bright Red Uniform color often referred to as the Mediterranean Ox Blood Color as this is much desired.

Heavy Demand leads to a Scam

Recently, we found out that some unethical elements are buying Camel Bone, bleaching it to make it pure white and then dyeing it with Red Dye and finally wax filling it and coating it to produce Red Coral Simulants that are being sold as Red Corals to unsuspecting public. These are priced anywhere from $2(INR 90) per carat $20(around INR 1000) per carat.

Please be aware that these are not Red Corals at all leave alone organic red Corals produced in the sea and have no Jyotish Value and will not deliver the planetary results of Mars. When we contacted many of the sellers on the auction website to ask about the organic nature of the Coral and why it was priced so low- We received Zero, yes Zero replies from the seller.

How to differentiate Real Organic Japanese Red Coral from a Fake One!

The answer lies in the nature. Generally the Ventral/Top side of the Coral is highly polished and is free from any marks or indentations. However the dorsal side/back side of the Japanese Red Coral has the characteristic tell tale wood grain effect- line/lines-white or brown in color, groove pits and striations.

Featured here in this picture is a fine Japanese Red Coral from our collection of fine Natural Planetary Gemstones and Talismans that has both the Ventral and Dorsal Views that will make the marks of nature quite clear. If the dorsal side of the Coral is virtually free from any marks you can be assured 99% of the time that it is not a natural Coral!

Please ensure that when purchasing a Red Coral the certificate should read Natural Organic Red Coral.

What is a Jyotish Quality Coral?

Jyotish quality Red Coral should be

- Fully Natural and organic. Precious Biogenic material!

- Created in the sea by marine polyp.

- Be free from any dyeing or wax filling.

- Should have even color.

- AND SHOULD NOT BE A CAMEL BONE OR PLASTIC.

We remain dedicated to the sacred art of planetary Gemology and our patrons.

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Patrons interested in entry level Jyotish Quality Gemstones should contact us directly with their requirements.

At the very outset we would like to clarify that the Planetary Gemstones featured on our blog as rings and pendants have already been shipped out. This is quite clear because we mention the patron location, price among other details related to the Gemstone. This can be verified in our testimonial section wherein some gracious patrons have written about their experience at Gemstoneuniverse.com. Still we receive some mails from patrons who want the same pice that has already been shipped out!

After some of the entry level Jyotish Gemstones were featured on the blog there have been a lot of enquiries from patrons worldwide. If you have seen some pictures of our inventory here on the blog as well on our Facebook page you would know that we carry huge amounts of inventory. It is just not possible for us to list the whole inventory because of several reasons on the website.

Even though the gemstones on our website are reasonably priced ( Yes 1/6^th of retail), and we bring in tremendous value with certification, appraisal and buyback we understand that  for some patrons even this price is out of reach and they would be interested in still lesser priced gemstones. Please do your research. We stand by our claim.

We would also like to point out that Description, taking the photograph of the gemstones and uploading other relevant details takes around 2 hours for one gem! It’s not possible for us to list entry level Jyotish Gemstones on the website.

Meanwhile what is an entry level Jyotish Gemstone?

- The gem has to be fully natural.

- The gem has to be fully treatment free.

- The gem should have a minimum clarity level of 75% and above.

- The gem should be able to provide the planetary energies of the planet it is intended for.

You can view some of the entry level gemstones by clicking the link below:

http://gemstoneuniverse.com/blog/?s=entry

When we procure gemstones or cut individual pieces all the gemstones are not equal. They vary on the 4C’s of cut, clarity, color and carat weight. Whatever we feel is exceptional is already on the website. But still there are gemstones which qualify on the criteria of the above 4 parameters of the entry level Jyotish Gemstone definition.

Patrons interested in entry Level Jyotish Gemstones should contact us directly through the contact form on our website or directly send us a e mail with their requirement and budget. An example may look like:

Interested in 2+ carat  Blue Sapphire in approximate price range of $500-$700.

Once we have understood your specific requirement we will search our inventory for something suitable and get back to you. If you evince interest we will ask you to make a deposit of around $50 which is fully refundable but acts as a security that we are not moving up a blind alley. We will send you pictures of 2/3 gemstones that match the criteria and proceed from there.

Please do not come up with unreasonable and unreal demands such as

I want a 5 carat Ruby for $200/-

For a demand like this please contact your jeweller and the astrologer who actually made this recommendation. They will make even a 10 carat bluff thermal diffused and glass filled ruby at $10. Don’t be obsessed with weight. Target clarity and lack of treatment.

Please do not waste our time. Do your research and then send us a mail. We want to give our best to interested patrons who really want to implement planetary Gemstone therapy properly.

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Guruji, Your thoughts on wearing Blue Sapphire in Gold, Silver and Asthdhatu and what is Pitambari Neelam? In which metal does Blue Sapphire gives best results. . Question asked by a patron on Facebook.

Natural Unheated Ceylon Blue Sapphire of 2.06 cts Gemstoneuniverse.com

Namaste Narendra,

I hope that you are doing well by the blessings of the almighty. I was travelling in the last 2 weeks hence was unable to take up your question.

At the very outset I would like to clarify that this question requires an in depth explanation that is beyond the scope of a blog post but still I will try my best.

Neelam/ Blue Sapphire the most powerful gemstone of Lord Saturn/ Shani is a very versatile gemstone. In general Neelam gives best results in Silver. Regardless of the position of Saturn in the horoscope Neelam generally gives good results in Silver.

Taking the sacred art of planetary gemstone therapy a notch higher would help us ascertain the perfect metal for setting the Blue Sapphire that would give us added benefits. For example is Saturn is a powerful  planet in the horoscope and Saturn is posited in the signs of Sun or Jupiter such as Leo, Sagittarius or Pisces the Blue Sapphire will give excellent results in Gold for these planets represent the metal gold and they have become the depositor of Saturn in the horoscope. Similarly if Saturn is posited in the sign of Cancer-the sign representing Moon then Silver would be the metal that will give best results.

Moving on to your mention about the Asht Dhatu or a mix of 8 metals- In general these 8 metals are  Gold, Copper, Brass, Platinum, silver, Aluminium, Tin and Iron. In some other texts this combination is given as Gold, Copper, Brass, Platinum, silver, Aluminium, lead and Iron. The latter combination is considered more authentic but I would like to point out three things:

- Setting of Blue Sapphire in Asht Dhatu is not mentioned in any of the sacred texts at all.

- Setting of the Blue Sapphire in Asht Dhatu has been mentioned in some sub standard books on Planetary Gems coming out of Haridwar and Bihar written by self proclaimed dubious tantriks and Astrologers. These are abundantly available at Bus and Railways stations.

- No ethical bench jeweller would ever mix lead in the 8 metal mix because pure lead will damage other metals. Even if someone says that lead is included in all probability it is a lie just to satisfy the clients desire.

Take it from me; setting of any gemstone in Asht Dhatu will not bring any miraculous effects. Yes, Gemstone might get damaged in turn.

Moving onto your second question about what is a Pitambari Neelam. I think it is a brilliant question and represents the crowning glory of the sacred art of Planetary Gem Therapy and is vital information available to only a selected few. Pitambari is a word derived from Peet( Yellow) and Ambar( Like Blue Sky).  Pitambari Neelam is a Bi colored Sapphire that clearly exhibits both the yellow and the Blue color. This beautiful gemstone is also known as Ganga- Jamuna( After the two sacred rivers) in common Hindi language.  A very powerful Gemstone it should be used when Saturn is posited in the signs of Jupiter or when Saturn and Jupiter combine together in the horoscope and Saturn period is in operation. The Same logic applies to Jupiter.  A very powerful Gemstone it is tobe worn only after proper recommendation. The consecration of this gemstone has some additional steps which render this even more powerful.

I hope I have addressed your questions.

With Blessings and Love

Guruji Shrii Arnav

Bollywood Stars and their favourite gemstones.

Kareena Kapoor wearing Yellow Sapphire and Natural Pearl-Gemstoneuniverse.com

Kareena Kapoor (Hindi: करीना कपूर; born on September 21, 1980),[1] often informally referred to as Bebo,[2][3] is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood films. During her career, Kapoor has received five Filmfare Awards and has been noted for her performances in a range of film genres;[4] these include her work from contemporary romantic dramas to comedies, period films to major Bollywood productions, as well as less publicised independent films.[5][6]

Born into a family where both her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and her elder sister Karisma were actors, Kapoor faced the media spotlight from a very young age, but did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee. Her melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham… became India’s highest-grossing film in the overseas market in 2001, and is one of her biggest commercial successes to date.[7] After receiving negative reviews for a series of repetitive roles, Kapoor accepted more demanding parts in order to avoid being typecast,[8] and was consequently recognized by critics for displaying greater versatility as an actress.[9][10] Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career[11] and she was later noted for her performances in the critically acclaimed Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006).

In 2007, Kapoor received her first Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance in Jab We Met, a romantic comedy directed by Imtiaz Ali. She went on to play the lead female role in the thriller Kurbaan (2009), for which she earned critical acclaim, and the drama 3 Idiots (2009), which became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time. Having done so, Kapoor has established herself as a leading actress of the Hindi film industry.[10][5] In addition to movie acting, Kapoor is a regular stage performer and has launched her own clothing line in association with being the brand ambassador for the retail chain Globus.

The gorgeous Kareena Kapoor uses the power of planetary gemstones for good luck and success. Her favourite gemstones are Yellow Sapphire the gemstone of Jupiter which is also the gemstone for knowledge, good luck, wealth and fortune and a Natural Pearl  that represents the positive powers of the moon which in turn represents intellect, intelligence, beauty and acceptance by the masses. A classical combination in the gem therapy this combination of Yellow Sapphire and Natural Pearl has helped several individuals amass wealth and fortune and helped them attain their objectives. Seen here in the picture Kareena wearing the Yellow Sapphire in the index finger and the Natural Pearl in the little finger.

When Did recession start and when did it end- Live report from 46^th Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Show- Unheated Lot of Burma Rubies- Lowest Grade starts at $3000 per carat and the Highest Grade at $9000 per carat- Where Will the common man who needs Gem Therapy the most afford these! And those consultants who recommend a 5 carat Ruby to the ignorant buyer should watch their step!

Imperial Pigeon Blood Burma Rubies Gemstoneuniverse.com

It is the 3^rd day of the 46^th Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Show and this fair evokes mixed feelings. Even though no major deals are happening the prices of natural gemstones are still going higher. This substantiates the fact that Gemstones are the best investment-better than stocks, land, gold or bullion but that story is for later!

The Asia Pacific Buying division of Gemstoneuniverse.com is participating in the show and our patrons who are attending the show and those who are in Thailand are welcome to meet us.

Coming back to the main subject of this report is this rare lot of Burma Rubies (Please see attached pic).  Each one of this pear shaped Imperial Pigeon Blood Burma Rubies has a Gem clarity grade of VV2 or higher. The lowest priced Ruby in this lot is $3000 per carat and the highest one is $9000 per carat.  Hence average price of this lot will be roughly around $6000 per carat (INR 3, 00,000 per carat). Think about it dear patrons- When this price is for hard seasoned professionals who have been able to get this price after hectic negotiations where does the normal individual with no background in Gemology stand. Each of these lovely miracles of nature is certified by GRS and the GIA.

We receive many calls from patrons who do a lot of research on the internet but have never seen or felt a natural ruby in their hand and when these patrons ask for specifics such as Imperial Pigeon Blood color it becomes so difficult to explain.

In addition there are many Astrologers with no knowledge of gemology and no knowledge of the sacred text either who mindlessly give recommendations such as wear a 5 carat Ruby. Here see the truth- it is in front of you.

If you see the natural Ruby inventory at Gemstoneuniverse the average price is $575 per carat( INR 28,750/-) . Don’t Let these go. They will be super effective for Gem therapy and remember we have listed them at this price because we are devoted to the cause and some of the finished rubies in our online inventory was fashioned from the rough that we owned ourselves.  Our online Ruby inventory can be viewed online at the link below:

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/index.php?cPath=2_5&page=1&sort=4d

Remember we told you some months back that we procured a small lot of White Sapphires that was totally natural and unheated after 2 years- we meant it.

Come to the show yourself and among more than a thousand suppliers get us 1 yes you are reading right 1 White Sapphire that is unheated and untreated and weighs above 2 carats. Same for the Natural Burma ruby, Give us a Burma Ruby that is certified Natural above 2 carats below $3000 per carat and we will buy from you.

This report has been written with you in mind. Yes many conclusions come out of this report –Gems as an investment tool and most importantly the future of Natural Unheated Ruby now is Mozambique and Madagascar ruby. Get them while the prices are low.

We at Gemstoneuniverse will still continue to work harder for our dear patrons! Many more pictures from our stall and other reports from the show in a couple of days!

God Bless!
