Guard yourself against Useless Fake Pearls for Jyotish Gemstone Therapy-Don’t deceive yourself. Keshi Pearls, South Sea Pearls & Chinese Pearl are cultured and Non Natural Pearls.

Guard yourself against Useless Fake Pearls for Jyotish Gemstone Therapy-Don’t deceive yourself. Keshi Pearls, South Sea Pearls & Chinese Pearl are cultured and Non Natural Pearls.

A Sad event and several time wasting similar communication prompted this post. Last year a patron had taken a Gemstone recommendation from us. Her primary motive for reaching out to us was to bring some harmony in her marital life and relief from stress. Now she has Moon in Scorpio- a debilitating position discussed in detail by Guruji Shrii Arnav. You can access that resource at the link below:

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/planetarypositions.php

To cut a long story short, she was recommended to wear an unheated Yellow Sapphire and a Natural Pearl. This year June 2011 we hear from her saying:

I have been wearing Pearl and Yellow Sapphire as per your recommendation but things have gone bad to worse and my Husband has filed for a divorce

Now these Gemstones were not sourced from us. In most of these cases of failure and incorrect therapy we try to be as factual as possible and asked her to scan across her Gemstone certificates including the X Ray Radiography for the Pearl so that we could assess if she was actually wearing  Jyotish Quality Gemstones or not.

Her reply was: Do I need to get the radiography report now that He has already filed for Divorce?

We have hundreds of such case studies and we shall now be starting a section for the same!

But again request all of you the nth Time- Read the Article-Do Gemstones Work – No They Don’t for 90% of the People by Guruji Shrii Arnav and you shall find your solution there. If you read it a hundred times you shall get a new message that has the potential to alter the Karmik Life Map. Please click the link below to read the article:

http://www.gemstoneuniverse.com/gemsdontwork.php

Keeping our discussion short and crisp about these Pearls featured below. Check out the Video below  for the exhibits information. All these Pearls are imitation Pearls with zero value in Gem Therapy. They cannot be used for Moon energy. They will deliver absolutely zero results to be used as a Moon Gemstone. They are 100 % cultured imitation pearls. Cheap, beautiful but zero results.

To know more about what exactly is a Real Natural Pearl please click the resource below:

http://www.p-g-a.org/pearls.html

To be used in the sacred science of Jyotish and Planetary Gemology a Pearl has to be fully natural, made in nature by accident, full of lustre and not by irritating a living organism and calling it culture? Just visit a Pearl Farming area and see how surgery is performed on the mollusc and what extra things are done to increase yield. You will never wear or patronize these Pearls again.

Exhibit A

Keshi Pearl: A keshi pearl is a non-beaded pearl formed by accident as a by-product of a pearl culturing operation. Among all these Pearls this one is used by unethical traders citing it as original due to its irregular surface. Keshi has its use in jewellery but for planetary Gem therapy purposes it is useless. Some traders even go a bit further in their sales pitch and call it as a Burmese Pearl which again is not a natural pearl. We did a detailed story on Burmese Pearl and that can be found at the resource below:

http://gemstoneuniverse.com/blog/?s=burmese+pearl

Exhibit B

South Sea Pearl

A South Sea pearl is pearl produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk. They are currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, primarily in Australia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Myanmar. Unethical traders cite the dots on the Pearl or a protrusion to peddle it as Natural. Most auction sites will have vendors with the higesht quanity of cheap south sea pearl. They sell it calling it as Moti and 100% real. Ask for a X Ray certificate and these vendors shall vanish in thin air. This is the highest selling pearl by unethical elements.

Most of the south sea pearls are cultured and only a few rare ones-the miracles of nature are natural.

And if they are natural they will be accompanied with a X Ray Report  to find out if there are really natural or not.

Exhibit C

A cheap Chinese Tissue nucleated button Pearl. This is the most commercially abused Pearl quality especially in India. You can buy a Kilo of them for Rs. 1000($22), Yes 1 Kg for Rs.1000 should you reach the right source. Again it is not natural and Zero Value for planet moon.

Exhibit D

A Pearl Stand necklace from Hyderabad. Under the royal Patronage of the Nizams Hyderabad developed as a major Pearl centre. Pearls come in many shapes and of particular interest is the ‘rice-pearl’ – a tiny variety, available in great depth in Char Kaman, Gulzar Haouz and General Bazaar. Around 300 years ago there was a rich influx of Arabian Pearls in Hyderabad. But now Hyderabad is known for rice pearls. Most of the Natural Pearls have gone and what is traded are the above 3 varieties in the desolate hope to  cash on the fame of the past.  More than 99 percent of pearl coming is cultured pearl which again is cheap and is of no value as a Moon Gemstone. Here is what Wikipedia has to Say about Hyderabad Pearls.

In the village of Chandanpet just outside Hyderabad, almost the entire population is engaged in the delicate art of drilling pearls. A skill they have practiced for generations, making Hyderabad one of the largest drilling centres in India. Once the pearls are drilled, they are boiled for about four days to bleach them and rid them of their dark color. They are placed in glass bottles containing hydrogen peroxide, water and ether and sunned for four or five days in glass sun boxes with a mirror base. Finally they are washed and separated through series of different shapes and sizes.

Now are these natural?

Use these Pearls as Jewellery or as adornments. But don’t bluff yourself into believing that this cheap material will work. It will not.

Always wear a Natural Pearl to get good results from Gem therapy and Insist on a Certificate cum x ray report. That single report will cost more than all these exhibits put together. Everything in that video put together will cost less than a proper certification cum xray.

If you budget does not allow you to wear a Natural Pearl then opt for a Natural Blue Sheen Moonstone.  If your budget does not allow that too then wait and accumulate funds slowly for a Real natural Jyotish Quality Pearl -a miracle of nature capable of creating a miracle in your life. Don’t deceive yourself.

How to clean your Astrological Gem ring or pendant!  Days and Method for cleaning the Gemstones. Gemstoneuniverse.com

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Recently we received a question from one of our patrons that says:

I was reading Guruji’s article about gemstone therapy and not removing one’s gemstone after wearing it at an auspicious time. I have tried to follow this rule but have one question. After prolonged use, soap scum and lotion residue build up beneath the gemstone in the area where the gemstone touches the finger. Is it alright to remove the gemstone for just a few minutes (occasionally, let’s say once every month) to clean the gemstone and wear it again on the auspicious day for the gemstone?

Also – sometimes the gemstone slips off of the finger by accident for a few seconds – can one put the ring back on immediately after it slips off the finger?

Such questions are received periodically by us, hence this write up:

How to clean your Planetary Gemstone ring

Here is the method that gives good results:

- Clean your gemstone rings and pendant once every month so that scintillation remains and the gemstones provide maximum reflection of light besides looking beautiful.

- Choose the correct day for cleaning. Each Gemstone has its unique day. The list is given below.

- Use a gentle soft solution or a mild detergent as the cleansing solution. Keep away from harsh detergents and Jewelry cleaning solutions.

- If there is not a lot of dirt then simply take the ring till the edge of the finger and use a new cotton ear bud to wipe off the dirt.

- If there is a lot of dirt take a new Toothbrush with Gentle bristles and dip it in the mild soap solution. Take the Gemstone ring till the edge of the finger and clean the below surface. Keep this toothbrush separate as a part of your Gemstone cleaning kit.

- Wash with plain, clean water after clearing the dust and the dead skin if any.

- Push the ring back into its original position.

By using this method in no manner your ring leaves body contact. With a little bit of practice you can do it easily.

Days for cleaning your Gemstones:

Special Care:

Be very careful when cleaning Organic Gemstones like Red Coral and Natural pearl and also Gemstones that have less hardness like Emerald. Use a mild soap solution, mild detergent solution or solution of your bathing bar. Stay away from harsh detergents and Jewelry cleaning kits.

Putting the Shine Back

Sometimes the lustre and shine of your Red Coral or Emerald may appear less after cleaning. This is quite natural. Just apply a tiny bit of your face cream to the surface and your gemstone regains its glitter and Shine.

Accidental slipping of the ring

Just put it back right away. No effects on the results are noticed.

Are you wearing your Gemstone in the correct hand /the correct finger and some other secrets of sacred planetary Gemology. Gemstoneuniverse.com

There are three things that have motivated me in writing this article.

1) I have received thousands of mails from Gem Lovers and those interested in planetary gemology after I wrote the article Do Gemstones Work – No They Don’t for 90% of the People. I take this opportunity to thank each one of you through this medium for your appreciation, since sending individual mails to each one of you would be quite difficult. Among that multitude of Messages there were several messages that asked questions like I am wearing Hessonite in Middle finger of left hand. Is it correct or should it be the right hand and many others on the same lines. Even though this question sounds innocuous-it isn’t and correct implementation of Gemstone therapy is also dependent on wearing the Gemstone in the correct hand and fingers.

2) A mail message received yesterday from an existing Gemstoneuniverse.com patron that says,

None of the 7 points in the checklist to avoid a failure in gem therapy and get good results from your gem, mentioned certain gems must go with certain fingers. Kindly clarify if the gems could be worn in any finger and still will achieve the beneficial planetary effect.

3) Meeting with an individual who came to consult me yesterday evening and who was wearing a Blue Sapphire in the ring finger of the right hand.

Note: The ring finger represents the Sun which in turn represents the Law. Blue Sapphire is the gemstone of Saturn and is generally worn in the middle finger. Incidentally this Gentleman and his family have been involved in a messy litigation after he started wearing the Blue Sapphire in the ring finger.

Ardhanariswara-The divine Shiva representing the sacred Feminine and Masculine that together represent One Entity

In Which Hand should I be wearing my Gemstones?

In Hinduism, Ardhanari or Ardhanarishvara (Sanskrit: अर्धनारीश्वर, Ardhanārīśvara), is an androgynous deity composed of Shiva and his consort Shakti, representing the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies. The Ardhanari form also illustrates how the female principle of God, Shakti, is inseparable from the male principle of God, Shiva. Ardhanari in iconography is depicted as half-male and half-female, split down the middle. The masculine part is the right side and the feminine part is the left side. Full expression of both these halves leads to complete self realization.

In General, all shastras- sacred texts have the unanimous view that Gents should wear the Gemstones in the right hand and Ladies should wear the Gemstones in the left hand. This is the thumb rule that gives good results.

Exceptions, Sure, Yes!

Gents who use the left hand primarily as their working hand, for signing documents etc. should wear the Gemstones in the left hand.

What are the correct fingers for wearing Gemstones?

The planets are clearing marked on one’s palm and have specific and exact positions. Gemstones should be worn in the correct fingers to get good results.

No results are better than bad results( Such as the case of the Gentleman wearing the Blue Sapphire in the ring finger.

Table indicating the correct fingers for wearing Gemstones as per sacred texts.!

The internet is full of copy and paste jobs regarding this. This table below is the definitive guide.

Exceptions to the above rules

The crowning of sacred planetary Gemology lies in its ability to give tangible results. Certain implementations and Knowledge like wearing a red Coral in the middle finger during challenging Saturn periods or wearing a White coral and Natural Pearl for a debilitated Moon or changing of hand due to exceptional combinations created by retrograde planets or wearing mutually inimical gemstones due to unique planetary positions is very special knowledge capable of creating exceptional breakthroughs and cannot be found in the regular texts. These are transferred from a Guru to a deserving Shishya/ Disciple. Yes, these exceptions exist but only to the tune of 1% and such recommendations are available to the masters.

With Blessings and Prayers,

I remain

Gemstoneuniverse-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

Oh you live in West Bengal, Assam or Orissa. We think we can say what gemstones you are wearing without even looking at your hands, and, yes we do not have esp. abilities- Individuals residing in these States beware of a scam in the name of planetary Gemology.

India is the mother of the sacred science of Planetary Gemology. This is the only developed system of Gem recommendation that has such an extensive methodology and wherein the results obtained sometimes are phenomenal.

Ask some of those individuals who have experience d the  power of a real Blue Sapphire or a real Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl and you will get some wonderful stories about how strange events after wearing the Gemstone bough about a desirable change in several aspects of life.

At Gemstoneuniverse, Planetary Gemology is a passion and it pains us when we see a blatant abuse of Gem Therapy.

That brings us to the subject of Gem recommendations in the states of West Bengal, Assam, Orissa. It’s a pity that such things happen in areas that were once the seat of Indian tantra.

The top 3 bluff gemstones worn by individuals in West Bengal, Assam or Orissa:

1) Hessonite- Also called as Gomedh or Gomedhaka.

2) Pearl- Also called as Moti

3) Red Coral also known as Moonga

The 4^th spot is a close fight between a huge color dyed Yellow Sapphire or a grey colored Cat’s Eye Quartz.

This bring us to question several things the chief among them would be:

1) How come 90% of the people in these states manage to get the same gemstone recommendation.

2) How come none of them ever question the quality of the recommendation or the gemstone.

As per a survey conducted by us neither people were confident about talking about the results they experienced after wearing these gemstones neither there were any positive events after implementation of this therapy.

The answer to his question is mass commercialization and the unholy nexus between bluff Astrologers and equally unethical Jewellers.

As they say , a picture speaks a thousand words, Here are some sample of Gemstones worn by individuals in name of planetary Gemology. Next time you are travelling to these states or have a friend from any of these states have a look at the stones (yes stone, they are not wearing gemstones), 99.99% you will see stones of which pictured are produced below.

Bluff Gomedh/Hessonite

Sold on an auction website as 4.34 carats Natural Gomed Hessonite Rashi Gem for Rahu.  Certified Stone.

When we talk about Jyotish Quality Stones we talk about clarity and lack of treatment. This is nowhere a Jyotish Quality Gemstone. It is an ugly rock and not a beautiful gemstone. Can you see any light passing through the dense mineral matrix! Look for marks on the surface and lack of lustre/ polish. This is a sample of mineral Hessonite Mined  in Gaya in Bihar.

Bluff Pearl/Cultured Pearl

Listing on an auction website as Huge 14.20 carats Pearl (Moti): Stone for Moon. Very Good results of Chandra.

The Value of this pearl is not even INR 20/$.40. This is a bluff cultured pearl. The strangest way pearl therapy is implemented in these states is that we get to get Individuals wearing Pearls in Index finger/ ring finger/ Little finger.

You must click here to read about what exactly real Natural Pearls are and also check some of the talismans on the blog. This Pearl will not give any results for Moon.

And yes, we get some queries from People who call up and ask whether a 12.25 ratti Pearl is available as He has been recommended one by his Astrologer.

To explain what a natural pearl is to this individuals would be like re-inventing the wheel

A) A Good Astrologer who knows gemstones never makes recommendation in Rattis.

b) If a Natural pearl of 12.25 rattis or more would be available it value would be able to fetch 2-3 prime properties in any of the CBD’s any part of the Globe.

Please wear a Clear Moonstone instead of wearing a fake pearl.

Synthetic Coral from Taiwan

The third abused Gemstone is Red Coral. In these states it is generally observed that Red Coral is worn in ring finger in Gold, Silver or copper. Most importantly the sizes are huge and the certificate does not read Organic Coral. Most of these Corals are sourced from Taiwan and are synthetic and of very poor value.

See Sample Below:

Listed on a Auction website as Red Coral/ Moonga/ Rashi ratna for Mars/ 6.25 ratti.

A fight for the 4^th place is a close one between huge 5+ carats Dyed Yellow Sapphire and a Grey colored Quartz Cat’s eye.

What is the truth?

1) None of the gems listed above are anywhere Jyotish Quality.

2) All of them are poor quality products.

3) The cost of procuring this inventory is very low.

4) There is an unholy network between non qualified Astrologers and Jewellers.

5) We see this daily day in day out-still we could not figure out why everyone is wearing the same kind of gemstones.

Please be careful while purchasing these goods in the name of Vedic Gemstone Therapy. Vedic Planetary Gemology is a very powerful science and since time immemorial individuals have used the power of gemstones to achieve their goals and for realization of their desires!

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.

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

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.

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
