The Astral Gemstones One Ratti = 120 mg One Carat = 200 mg Natural Gemstones are found in the womb of the earth. Since time immemorial, Gemstones have been the valuable possessions of the rich and the kings. There are many kinds of Gemstones found in nature. Some of them are precious stones, because of their rarity and subsequently their value. The others were categorized as the semi-precious stones, because of their ample availability and subsequently their price. Each of these stones have their own quality and property, by way of colour, luster, clarity, and appearance. Here, I shall only describe the astrological Gemstones, their qualities, properties, appearance and merits. The value of these Gemstones will vary from country to country, and it is generally difficult to fix a price for a particular Gemstone, specially the precious ones. However, there is a general yardstick by which all the Gemstones are assessed and evaluated. They are the four C's. Namely Colour, Cutting, Clarity, and Carat. A stone may generally be of some colour, but the depth of the colour would make a difference. For example, an Amethyst is generally of a violet colour, but from some different mines, it may be of a deep violet or purple colour. Then the cutting makes a difference. A Gemstone sparkles and reflects it's own light because of it's cutting. The cutting is called facets. These facets reflect the colours. Greater the facets, greater the reflection. Clarity means transparency. All Gemstones have some inherent inclusions and spots. Again, greater the clarity, higher the value. Lastly, the weight. All Gemstones are measured in Carat weight. Therefore, bigger the Gemstone, bigger the bill! The quality of gems are graded on the basis of four qualities, known as the "four C's." They are1. Color 2. Clarity 3. Cut 4. Carat (size) The foremost things to understand by gems are that they are graded on the basis of their rarity. What is best for a native may not be the top or rarest grade of a gem. Hence the term "quality" does not necessarily mean that one gem is better than another. There are plenty of varieties found in a mineral deposit. So one of the first things to notice is the size variation. Conversely, simply being larger does not mean that it is better. For Purpose of astrological gems the most important criteria are as follows: Let us learn more about the 4 Cs Color Colors are described by three factors: Hue- (red, green, blue, etc.) Saturation- (strong or pastel, red or pink.) Tone- (light to dark.) Usually, stones with high values possess pure hues and strong rich colors. With high value gems, subtle variations make a significant difference in price. It is not possible for a layman to see the difference, but to the expert grader it is important. On moderate priced gems, color has less affect on value. It is the other factors of size; clarity and cutting that determine the gem's value.

The best example can be taken of diamond whereas the color is concerned. Diamonds are evaluated on how close they are to being colorless. There are three grades of colorless that only vary by subtle differences in transparency. Then there are four grades of white. It takes an expert in laboratory surroundings to differentiate between these grades, excluding each represents a change in value. Clarity Gemstones contain a wide variety of inclusion, like little bits of minerals, hollow areas, or fractures. An inclusion is defined as anything that will hamper with the free passage of light. Tiny color differences have a significant affect on value. Again the best examples of this are diamonds. There are several rankings where the inclusions are invisible to the naked eye and have no affect on the beauty of the stone. Yet the difference in value is significant because something that is very difficult for an expert to find with 10-power magnification and something that is easy to find with enlargement hold enough importance. Most colored stones are simply graded as "eye clean," slightly, moderately, or heavily included. Gems with eye visible inclusions are always lower in value, but the change is not applied equally. The clarity of certain gems cannot be compared with other gems. If you want a certain gem without any eye visible inclusions, you are restricted to go for small stones. Similarly if you want a larger gem then you will have to accept a certain amount of inclusions and get its value through it color. But fractures and cracks are not at all permitted in astrological gems. Cut The cut of a gemstone is also one of the most important factors in its appearance. It is also one of the most complicated factors for the amateurs to judge due to the number of disparities involved. Usually some gems are cut in free form but most are planned to be cut in a symmetrical shape. Primarily it should be proportioned in all directions. It is for the wearer to decide that what will be the effect of the shape over the appreciation of the stone. A gem should be always inspected with magnification. The areas of light reflection should be smooth and mirror like. If it is a faceted gem, look at the part junctions also. A well-cut stone will be crisp and collaborate on a single point. The individual facets sometimes also affect the brilliance of the gem. A fair idea of the cutting quality of a gem can be acquired by comparing it with other gems, but within similar stones. A topaz will never have the brilliance of an amethyst and dark stones will not be as bright as light colored ones. A cutting can have great effect on the two different gems; one might have much more brilliance and sparkle than the other on because of expert cutting. Carat Here a simple rule is followed; larger stones are less common than small ones. Hence, they demand a superior price per carat. For example a half-carat gem will be of half of the rate than that of a full carat gem. The choice of the correct size can be subjective. Large gem mirrors are more suitable for daring and energetic individual, whereas, small stones are suitable for natives with subtle and understated flavor.Smaller stones have a significant advantage over pricing and budget . The reason is that volume goes up faster than the outside dimensions.Small gems are often clustered to give the illusion of more gemstone. But for astrological purpose a single diamond is

necessary and not clusters of small diamonds making up the weight. Clarity Scale IF Extra Fine Quality. These gems have microscopic inclusions which are difficult to slightly difficult to see under a loupe with 10X magnification. VVS1 Extra Fine Quality. Small pin-pricks are just visible to the scrutiny of the close nake eye. However, the beauty of the gem is not diminished in anyway VVS2 Very Fine Quality. Small pin-pricks are just visible to the scrutiny of the close nake eye. However, the beauty of the gem is not diminished in anyway VS1 Good Quality. Small pin-pricks and feathers are just visible to the scrutiny of the close nake eye. However, the overall beauty of the gem is still not diminished VS2 Good Quality. These gems have inclusions which are fairly easy to see to the close naked eye. However the overall beauty of the gem is still high. SI1-2 Good to the medium qualities. Included gems with internal features that range from eye visible to easily seen to the naked eye. Opaque/Translucent Highly included,Translucent

Symbols of supremacy like crowns and richly decorated clothes and robes have traditionally been adorned with jewels. But gemstones are not just for the wealthy or scientifically-minded researcher, the common man can also to enjoy the beauty of these gems. The gemstones appeal initially due to their mysterious nature, lustre and colour. This makes them exquisite but their rarity, hardness and durability makes them very valuable. Gemstones are minerals. Out of a total of more than 2500 different minerals, only about 60 odd are commonly used as gemstones. Other minerals are unsuitable as gems because they are too soft and get scratched easily.

What are gemstones: For a mineral (or occasionally an organic mineral) to be called a gemstone, it must be beautiful in its appearance and colour. A gemstone has to be durable i. e. it should be hard enough to survive constant use and handling, without getting scratched or damaged. Finally, it must be rare, because

its scarcity makes it valuable. Read On! Science of gemmology: Gems are scientifically fascinating too. Gemologists make a complete study of each stone, both as it is found in the rocks and after it has been cut and polished. That is why during the formal study of gemology, both aspects are given due importance. This it easy to distinguish between two similar looking stones. Read On! How gemstones are formed. Read On!

Types of Gemstones Dr. Prem Kumar Sharma

Organic Gemstones: Organic gemstones have their origin either from plants or from animals. Like natural Pearls form around foreign bodies that have made their way inside the shells of marine or freshwater shellfish. Cultured pearls are produced artificially in large fisheries, many in the shallow waters off the seashores. Shells, which are regarded as gems, may come from animals as diverse as snails and turtles, living in the ocean, in fresh water or on land. Coral is made up of the skeletons of tiny marine animals called Coral Polyps. Bone or Ivory from the teeth or tusks of mammals, may come from recently living animals or from fossils thousands of years old. Amber is fossilized tree resin, collected from soft sediments or the sea. Jet is fossilized wood, found in some sedimentary rocks. Synthetic Gemstones: Synthetic gemstones are made in laboratories or factories, not in rocks. They virtually have the same chemical composition and crystal structure as natural gemstones and consequently their optical and physical properties are very similar. However, they can usually be identified by the difference in the inclusions in them. Many types of gems have been synthesized but only a few are produced commercially, generally for scientific or industrial use. Because of the way the synthetic gems are made, they show subtle differences in shape and colour that help to distinguish them from their natural counterparts. Similarly, the synthetic gems have inclusions, which are different from the natural inclusions. The experts can identify them and distinguish.

gemstones. There are laws in pure science which have not been proved but are accepted as their effects are observed by us day in and day out and they are called laws conversely also as they have not been proved otherwise. The simplest example being Law of Gravitation. It is a law because it is observed daily by us and also it has not been proved through experiment to be not true. Similarly the effects of the gemstones are observed by those who use them under proper prescription. Since the effects are very individual in nature, they are not in the scrutiny of public and people do not believe in their beneficial values. The gemstones have different colours and luster. Sun being the source of all energy, also affects human beings. If we observe the sunlight through prism in a laboratory, we get seven-colour spectrum. The other invisible two colours are infra red and ultra violet. Thus the spectrum of nine colours is understood to be the cosmic matrix and is very essence of nine planets. The nine planets are associated with these colours and the stones prescribed are also in consonance. It is important to note that the wavelength of coloured light emanating from the nine planets is believed to match those radiating from each planets corresponding gemstone. Thus prescribing gemstones is not out of synchronous with this energy system. A particular stone absorbs all kind of solar and cosmic energy and allows a particular type of energy to pass through it and which the body then absorbs. If prescribed properly, this actually helps the individual. This restores the balance in him and he finds the self-improving. Moreover, the effects of gemstones have been proved conversely also. If a person is prescribed a wrong gemstone, it has been observed to adversely affect him as long as he wears it and the effect goes away once the stone is removed. Thus the efficacy of gemstones do not require laboratory experiments just the way some of the pure science laws do not require experiment in their support.

Prescription on the basis of 'Janma Rashi' or the 'Moon sign' Dr. Prem Kumar Sharma In this system of prescription the gemstone is prescribed on the basis of the zodiacal sign in which Moon was posited at the time of birth. This system can lead to prescription of appropriate stone many times but wearers, who have worn stones prescribed this way, have many times received adverse results. The basic flaw in the system is that it does not take care of the position of other planets in the zodiacal ecliptic and also loses sight of many other astrological factors. The table below gives the results of the first method. The Indian names for the planets and the stones have also been given for convenience of the readers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------The Vedic View on Gems

Varha Mihir, the famous astrolager of ancient India, who flourished in the 1st century BC, has devoted a full chapter to gems and precious stones in his monumental work Brihat Samhita. He has given detailed characteristics of diamonds, blue sapphires,emeralds, and other gems. He has also explained how different gems are associated with different deities, and has prescribed the colour of gem suitable for each caste.

According to the Vedic system, there are nine basic gems: (i) ruby; (ii) pearlreal, not cultured; (iii) coral; (iv) emerald; (v) yellow sapphire called Pukharaj in India; (vi) diamond; (vii) blue sapphire (viii) Gomed (Sanskrit name)- it is like a garnet in appearance but different from it; (ix) Cat's eye.

(images) Gemstones As my last post was about Mr Bachchan and his blue sapphire stones, I thought I will write something about gemstones and their importance in Astrology. Based on the planetary positions in an astral chart, i.e. janma kundali, a planet is believed to bring to focus : a particular behavioral trait signify the effects of the planets running period Gemstones are prescribed to either strengthen or balance the energies of these planets in question, i.e. strengthen weak planets so that they do create some good effect, or further strengthen already strong planets, such that their effect is more pronounced. As an example, someone may want to strengthen Mercury to cure any speech impediment or skin inflammation, as a weak Mercury is known to cause these ailments. A person may want to strengthen Saturn if it is a Raj Yoga causing planet, in that case, in Saturns dasha or bhukti, the results given by Saturn multiply. Surely all good and bad effects multiply at the same time, there is a need for balance. How do people wear these stones? These stones have to be of specific weight (in carats, or in ratti). They are worn either in gold or in silver in appropriate finger, during Shukla Paksha, when the planet is in own/friendly sign, on the planets day of the week, in the morning before 7:00 AM and after chanting the ruling gods name 108 times. Needless to say, these gems should be flawless as much as possible and should be of good quality. Name Stone Weight Wear in Sun Ruby (Maanik) 2 Carats Gold, in ring finger Moon Pearl (Moti) 2 Carats Silver, in ring finger Mars Red Coral (Munga) 3 Carats Gold (pref. 18 carat) or Silver, in ring finger Mercury Emerald (Panna) 1.5 carats Gold, in ring or little finger Jupiter Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) 2 carats Gold, in index finger Venus Diamond (Heera) 1 carat Gold or silver in middle finger Saturn Blue Sapphire (Neelam) 2 carats Gold, in middle finger Rahu Garnet(Gomed) 3 carats Gold or Silver, in middle finger Ketu Cats eye (Lahsuniya) 3 carats Gold, in middle finger

When deciding which finger the gem should be worn on, astrologers always consult the planetary friendship table. Mercury is a natural friend of Sun, therefore you can wear Emerald in the ring finger, which belongs to Sun. A Diamond is not for everyone! Firstly, you should always consult an astrologer before you decide to wear a diamond. Secondly, it should not be worn on the ring finger as all of us are made to believe by the cool and jazzy television commercials. It is a natural friend of Saturn, therefore it should be worn only on the middle finger. It is not a natural friend of Sun and hence ring finger is not the place for it. Are there any alternatives to wearing these gemstones? Yes, there are: There are cheaper alternatives available in the market. e.g. you can replace Pukhraj with Yellow Zircon for Jupiter. Clear Zircon can be substituted for a diamond etc. You can choose to worship the ruling deity e.g. to strenghten Mercury, you could worship Lord Vishnu. You can also adjust the lifestyle accordingly. e.g. if you do not prefer to wear a stone for Saturn, you could wear dull colours, e.g. brown, black, gray etc. Change the life style to bring in more discipline, meditation, etc. To tell you the truth, I always believe that changes in lifestyle, along with worship/meditation always work better than wearing gemstones. Oh, you know what, I dont have time for the morning pooja, can I wear a stone instead?

The right gem helps to ward off the evil effects and acts as a protective talisman. Gems are classified into two categories, cold and hot. Pearl, blue sapphire and topaz are referred to as cold gems, while ruby, diamond, cat's eye and red coral are known as hot gems. How Gemology works: - Gems generate constructive vibrations in the body. This helps counter the negative malefic powers released by the planets. When a specific gem is worn, it emits positive energy and provides a protective aura for the wearer. Duration: - Every gem has a specific life span. After this period, one should change the gem as it loses its impact for that particular individual. Nevertheless, the same gem will be effective for another person. Wearing of gems: -Gems should be worn after a proper selection. One should wear gems based on the planetary positions in the individual's horoscope. A trial period should be incorporated before any gem is worn. The proper purification and activation of a gemstone makes it effective. Gems should be worn after a pooja is performed in order to ward off negative planetary influences. It takes several months before the positive vibrations are activated, but the moment it is removed, the beneficial effect is instantly lost. Note:- Gems should be cleaned with salt-water at least once in a month to take good result. BIRTH & GEMS
