In such case, the root chakra & heart chakra has to be balanced before ruby could be worn.

Gems in detail

Benefits Of Ruby

Ruby is a form of Aluminium Oxide known as Corundum. Pure Corundum is in fact clear, and Red Corundum, or Ruby, is made up of Corundum (Al2O3), and Chromium impurities (Cr3+), which are responsible for its wonderful red coloration. Ruby is the most valuable gem in the Corundum family.

The name Corundum is believed to originate from either the Indian word kauruntaka, or the Sanskrit word kurivinda. Ruby, the name for this particular type of Corundum, is taken from the Latin word ruber, meaning “red“.

Since ancient times, the Ruby has been known as the King of gemstones, and has been considered to be a protective stone providing the wearer with benefits such as invulnerability and preserved health. In addition to this, Rubies inspire creativity, wisdom and love, as well as enhancing self-reliance / confidence and increasing spirituality. It was believed that Ruby worn by men signified manhood and nobility. Rubies worn by women was said to invoke passion and power. Improved blood circulation is one of the major perceived medical benefits of Ruby.

Availability and Sources of Ruby

The highest quality rubies, the most transparent with best color, usually come from Burma, and can actually be as valuable as diamond, or even more. The ruby is actually very closely related to the sapphire, both being part of the corundum family. They are both made of the same mineral, but they have of course, different colors. The ruby is a little softer than the sapphire, which may seem strange as they are both made of the same mineral.

Thanks to modern gemstone enhancement and treatment, it is now possible to own wonderful, heat-treated natural Rubies that are available to meet demand, and also priced at a level making this beautiful king of gemstones available to most people.

Although the finest rubies come from the Mogok region in Burma, many beautiful rubies also come from Thailand, the main source for rubies. Thai rubies tend to be a little darker in shade; with a red so deep they are almost violet. The island of ShriLanka, which is the “island of gems”, has also been long famous for its rubies, which are of a lighter shade. Marco Polo once said that no other place had rubies as beautiful as those from ShriLanka. Rubies also come from India, Tanzania, Madagascar, Russia, Cambodia, Kenya, Mexico, Afghanistan, and U.S.A (North Carolina) and Pakistan.

Treatment done on Ruby Gemstone

Treatments are carried out on gemstone to lighten or darken the color or to improve its clarity, transparency and quality, in order to fetch a better price for the stone in the market.

More than 90 per cent of the rubies found in the market today are treated to enhance their quality. However, it is ethically important for a dealer, while trading, to disclose the treatment done on the gemstone trading. The most common treatment to which rubies are subjected is the heat treatment in which the ruby roughs are heated at a particular temperature in a furnace to improve their color.

Another less acceptable treatment (of notorious reputation) is glass filling. This treatment involves the filling of fractures inside the ruby with so-called lead glass, which dramatically improves the transparency of the stone making a previously unsuited ruby fit for use in expensive ruby jewelry.

Benefits of Wearing Pearl Gemstone

Pearl Gemstone benefits

The English word ‘Pearl’ comes from Middle English and from old French ‘Perle’.

The Greek word is Margarites. In ancient times, these were considered holy pearl names and Mararita was often used for baby girls of the pious and for beautified saints in the Christian lands.

Female forms of Margarites=Pearl

Italian: Margherita and Rita

French: Marguerite and Margot

German: Margarethe, Gretchen and Gretal

English: Margaret, Marjorie, Madge and Margie

Men’s titles derived from Margarites=Pearl

Gareth and Garrett

Two patron saints who were rechristened as “pearls,” were:

St. Margaret Aethling of Scotland

Margeret, “the pearl of Bohemia,” beloved of the Danes.

A pearl is a hard,lustrous spherical mass,whiter or bluish grey,formed within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living oyster or bivalre mollusc. Just like the shell of a mollusk, a pearl is made up of calciumcarbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly rounded and smooth, but many other shapes of pearls occur. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries, and because of this, the word pearl has become a metaphor for something very rare, fine, admirable, valuable or genuine.

Valuable pearls occur in the ocean, but they are now very rare. Cultured or farmed pearls from pearl oysters make up the majority of those that are currently sold in the international markets. Pearls from the sea are valued more highly than freshwater pearls. Imitation or fake pearls are also widely sold in inexpensive costume jewelry, but the quality of their iridescence is usually very poor and, generally speaking, artificial pearls are easily distinguished from genuine pearls. Pearls have been harvested and cultivated primarily for use in jewelry, but in the past they were also stitched onto formal or ornamental clothing worn on special occasions. Pearls have also been crushed and used in cosmetics, medicines, or in paint formulations.

Cultured Pearl is artificially created by planting a core or nucleus into pearl oysters. Today almost all pearls used for jewelery are cultured. They are usually harvested three years after planting, but it can take up to as long as six years before a pearl is produced. This process was first developed by KokichiMikimoto in Japan. He patented it in 1896.

The nucleus is generally a polished bead made from a missel shell. Along with a small scrap of mantle tissue from another oyester to serve as an irritant, it is surgically implanted near the oyester’s genitals. Oyesters that survive the subsequent surgery to remove the finished pearl are often implanted with a new, larger nucleus. They are then returned to water for another three years of growth.

Fresh Water Pearl is produced in fresh water (mainly in China). They are oblong and, due to lack of hardness, wear out very fast and lose their luster.

Pearl found in

The finest pearls are found in the Persian Gulf. Other notable sources of fine-quality pearls are the Gulf of Mannar between India and Sri Lanka, the waters off Celebes, Indonesia, and the islands of the South Pacific. In the Americas the Gulf of California, the Gulf of Mexico, and the waters of the Pacific coast of Mexico have yielded dark-hued pearls with a metallic sheen as well as white pearls of good quality.
Freshwater mussels in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere have produced pearls of great value, as for example those from the Mississippi River. Pearling is a carefully fostered industry in central Europe, and the forest streams of Bavaria, in particular, are the source of choice pearls. Freshwater pearling in China has been known from before 1000 BC.
Recent Pearl Production

China has recently overtaken Japan in Akoya pearl production. Japan has all but ceased its production of Akoya pearls smaller than 8 mm. However, Japan maintains its status as a pearl processing center and imports the majority of Chinese Akoya pearl production. These pearls are then processed, often simply matched and sorted, relabeled as product of Japan and exported in the international markets.

In the past couple of decades, cultured pearls have been produced using larger oysters in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. The largest pearl oyster is the Pinctada maxima, which is roughly the size of a dinner plate. South Sea pearls are characterized by their large size and warm luster. Sizes up to 14 mm in diameter are not uncommon. South Sea pearls are primarily produced in Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

A genuine pearl is supposed to have the following qualities: 
• Moonlike, shining white color
• Perfectly round, globular shape and size
• Spotlessness and freedom from blemishes (dents, scratches, ridges) and impurities.
• Compactness, which gives it a high specific gravity.
• Lustre, soft glamor, attractiveness and brilliance of reflection
• Smoothness, which gives an agreeable sensation to the eyes.

One who wears or possesses a pearl with all of the above mentioned qualities enjoys good fortune and is blessed by the goddess Lakshmi (the goddess of prosperity), lives long and becomes sinless, and obtains vitality and intelligence. He achieves high position by his wisdom and becomes famous. A pearl with a yellow lustre brings prosperity. Red-tinted pearls make one intelligent, shining white pearls bring fame, and a pearl with a bluish hue brings good fortune. A pearl devoid of lustre, that is, dirty, broken, having no gleam of circulating water, black or copper colored, partly white and partly colored, irregular, odd in shape having holes, dents, or
sports is defective and should be avoided.

Benefits of Wearing Yellow Sapphire

Scientifically, Yellow Sapphire is a mineral, with elements of aluminum, hydrosil, and florin in it. Australia, Burma, Brazil, Cambodia, East Africa, India (Himalayas), Sri Lanka, Thailand, United States, and Russia are the prominent sources of it. It is primarily found in yellow and different shades of yellow, besides in white and orange colors. It is considered as one of the most prominent and powerful stones in the astrology world. One of the reasons behind calling it so is because of its association with Jupiter.

Influencing Jupiter

The largest and heaviest planet of the planetary system, i.e. Jupiter, rules Yellow Sapphire or Pukhraj stone. Jupiter is a yellow colored planet, a ruler of north-east direction and a prime influencer on the day of Thursday. It is also known as ‘Guru’. Guru has been defined as the supreme and most apt term representing for a teacher. It is used so for Jupiter because it is believed to be the teacher of all Gods. It can also be stated as the minister of the nine planets. In astrology beliefs, there is no one close to Jupiter when it comes to the aspect of being intrinsically positive.

More often than not, it can be found residing in favorable positions. In such cases, it assists one’s growth on aspects of wisdom, wit, intellect, religion, and spirituality. One develops an individuality with which one strikes a positive influential mark on others. However, an exact opposite can occur in those very few cases when Jupiter gets positioned unfavorably. In either of these cases, Yellow Sapphire, which is the associated stone of this planet, can be strongly effective. In positive circumstances, the intensity of that positivity and favorable impacts can be further augmented to their extreme best, and in negative circumstances, no matter how intense the adverse impacts are, they can be nullified and eliminated with the help of this stone.

Benefits

The astrological qualities and physical and metaphysical properties of this stone make it an apt choice for all.

Benefits of Wearing Opal

The name Opal comes from three sources. One is the Latin word “Opalus”. The second one is from the Greek word “Opalliois” which means a change of colour and finally from the ancient Sanskrit word “Upala” which means precious stone. If one speaks of gemstone in these tongues the word Opal would be Opallious upala, which means precious stone. Which shows of various colours when shifted against light?

The gemstone Opal has been variously described. The great English poet Shakespeare called it the “Queen of Gems”. The Roman historian Pliny referred to it as a gemstone “having the fire of the carbuncle, the brilliant purple of the amethyst and the sea green colour of the emerald, all shining together in incredible union”.

The chemical composition of opal is hydrous silicate di-oxide (SiO2 + nH2O). It specific gravity ranges between 1.98 and 2.20 and the refractive index ranges from 1.44 to 1.46. The hardness of the opal on the Mohs scale is generally between 5.5 and 6. The opal is mostly made up of silica and is a very delicate stone. It also contains a significant amount of water (usually between 3 and 10 per cent). In most cases, the gem is accompanied by fair amount of cristobalite.

Opals are mined in the Czech Republic, Honduras, Mexico and Nevada (U.S.A) but chiefly in Australia. Most of the world’s opal production is mined in Australia, with Mexico being the nearest competitor.

Australia supplies more than 90 per cent of these gemstones to the world market. The main centers of production are Lightning Ridge in NSW and Coober Pedy and Andamooka in South Australia.

Less important centers are White Cliffs in far NW or NSW and WInton, Quilpie and Cunnamulla districts in Queensland and near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Opals are Australia’s most valuable gemstone exports. The current Australian production figures for uncut gems vary between a$100 million and a$200 million. A large proportion of Australia’s rough opal is exported to Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and Germany.

Even though they are located in the desolate arid interior of the continent, the opal mining areas have become popular tourist attractions where visitors can try their luck at fossicking or purchase stones from the local miners.

Care for Opal

Solid opal should be cleaned gently with mild detergent in warm water and a soft toothbrush or cloth. Avoid bleach, chemicals and cleaners. Doublets & triplets may be wiped with a damp soft cloth and mild detergent, but should never be soaked or immersed.

Never allow anyone to clean your opal in an ultrasonic cleaner, as the intense vibrations may cause cracking in a solid opal, and water penetration in a double or triple.

If your stone loses its shine or becomes scratched, bring it back to an opal cutter. After years of wear, small scratches and scuff marks cause an opal to lose its shiny polish and become dull looking. Professional polishing can bring new life to an opal which has become dull or scratched, and we can also check for claw damage and ensure the security of the setting.

Storing Opals

If you need to store your opal away for a period of time, simply place it in a padded cloth bag for protection and store it away. For longer storage periods, place your opal in cotton wool with a few drops of water, then into a sealed plastic bag just to be safe. The water is not intended to soak into the stone (as opal is impervious) but will prevent water coming out of the stone if it is exposed to very low humidity environments (for example, zero humidity storage safes).

Friendly signs are Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Pisces. Cancer and Leo are its enemy signs. Mercury, Venus, and Saturn are friendly planets. Rahu is an enemy of Sun, Moon, and Mars. Rahu gives auspicious results in Taurus and Libra.

Rahu is most effective between forty-two and forty-eight years of age. Although it gives beneficial results while posited in the above-mentioned signs and houses, the gains obtained during its major period do not last long and one always feels anxious and dissatisfied, even if one gets everything one desires. Rahu creates physical and mental illnesses that cannot be diagnosed and cured easily. It produces suicidal tendencies, fears, phobias, poisonous bites, murder, theft, imprisonment, and diseases like cholera, dysentery, skin diseases, swelling of the uterus, and constipation.
