The Most Common Questions on Wearing Gemstones : Part I

The Most Common Questions on Using Gemstones : Part I

 

For centuries, it is believed that gemstones bring good luck, wealth, health and prosperity. The fact is that the stories are much more connected with old traditions; some of them are influenced by a fallacies and spiritual misunderstandings. Nevertheless, the modern science itself proves that Gemstones synthesize the visible light naturally and transform it into positive energy. The energies transmitting toward the Earth by other planet also affect the energy of gemstone. The variation in the effect of gemstone onto the user/wearer is equally influenced by the transmission of energy of planets and synthesis of visible light into positive energy.

The story of Gems is not that much simple. It involves real mysteries; sometimes you may find it bit mumbo jumbo stuff. But as far as equivalence of traditions and modernization is concerned, both of them cannot be neglected. Moreover, even people who have interest in gemstones (wearing and collecting) have some common but mystifying questions. These questions are sometimes related with the Gemstones and sometimes with their usage.

Here, I am giving you a complete guide to those common questions which may be mingling in your mind for years, sometimes these questions are quiet common but they might have an exceptional and uncommon answer.

 

Q: Does raw gemstones (uncut & unpolished) have similar effects in comparison with properly cut and polished gems?

Ans: Well, as far as raw gems are concerned. Raw gems have silica (Sand) and other impurities fused with them. So the synthesis of light doesn’t take place properly. They might synthesize the light and transform it into usable low cosmic energy up till an extent. But in comparison to cut and polished gems, raw gems have least tendency to provide positive effects. In the case of raw gems, the energy loses are remarkable.

Q: Is it fine to wear raw gems?

Ans: For the sake of wearing raw gems for fashion is a good idea, but for major purposes its not! The fact is that raw gems have impurities (mainly silica) which block the synthesis of energy. For betterment, wealth, prosperity and health, only polished gems should be used.

Q. Can all gems be worn in a pendent or in a ring?

Ans. Well, the Vedic astrology has no bounds, according the concepts of Vedic astrology the gem would come up with the same effect whether the wearer wears it in a ring or as a pendent. The formal gemology proves it wrong; Most of the gems can be worn in a ring but not in a pendent.

Q: Can gemstones be worn in all metals?

Ans. As I have said above that Vedic astrology has no bounds, most of the Vedic astrologers advice people to wear the gems in “Gold” rings and Punj Dhaat (alloy of five metals). The formal astrology clashes in this matter too. The formal gemology has no such concept of Punj Dhaat. An original gemologist may advice different people to wear different gems in different metals (including Gold, Silver, Copper & Platinum). But there is no such concept of using five metals at the same time. Gemstones should be worn in specific metals only so that the energy of gems would be enhanced upto a particular extent.

Q: Can gemstone we worn in any finger of any hand?

Ans. I am afraid to say but the answer is “NO”. To get maximum positive effect, gemstones should be worn in particular fingers as prescribed by a Gemologist or an Astrologist. The Vedic astrology also shares the same concept of wearing particular gems in specific fingers only.

Q: What are Birthstones? Do the birthstones really help?

Ans. Birthstones are gemstones which are prescribed by “Astrologers” for people who are born under the specific sun sign. These birthstones help to eliminate the diseases, anger, emotional breakdowns of the particular sun sign. With every Sun Sigh there is a specific gem, sometimes the astrologers suggest two gems. But that’s fine! Wearing a gemstone prescribed by gemologist for a certain purpose can somehow do a better job.

Q:. Is it okay to rely on the Sun Sign Gemstone Chart which the one that jewelers usually have?

Ans. Well, in this case if a person is serious about wearing a gem for a purpose. He/She should consult a gemologist because in astrology there are some conflicts over gems. Consulting the concerned person may solve all the tension.

Q: What are Name Stones?

Ans. Name Stones are actually those gemstones which are prescribed by a Numerologist by a specific calculation of a person’s name, date of birth, day of birth, time of birth and place of birth. Wearing Name Stones is fine.

Q: Does every precious gemstone have a substitute gem?

Ans. Well, some of the precious gemstones have a substitute stone that may provide 55-60% of the same effects as the original stone. Wearing a precise gem for a specific matter is advised by Astrologers, Vedic Astrologers and Gemologists, but sometimes things aren’t on the financial side. In that case, it’s not a big deal to wear a substitute stone after consulting your astrologer.

Q:. Are there any substitute stones for Diamond?

Ans. Diamond being a precious gem has substitutes. Most astrologers suggest and consider White Zircon as the Diamond substitute, while some consider Kunzite as the substitute gem for Diamond. In this case, one should consult his astrologer, as per the substitution wearing a White Zircon or a Kunzite can satisfy the wearer.

Q: Some people consider Garnet as the birthstone for the month of January while others consider Alexandrite? Which one to wear?

Ans. Different astrologers have different concepts on which they design the birthstone chart. Some astrologers (mainly Vedic astrologers) consider Traditions far more important then discoveries of the modern science. Wearing Garnet (sometimes Green Garnet but only in specific cases) can give 100% positive effects while wearing an Alexandrite can also help in specific cases. The controversy can be resolved out easily by consulting a gemologist, the actual mystery is on which date and time did the wearer born. On this basis, the gemologist suggests whether the person should wear a Garnet or an Alexandrite.

TRINITARIANS: do you get your doctrine from…?

Star Wars?

Luminara Unduli said to her Padawan learner, Barriss Offee:

“The crystal is the heart of the blade; the heart is the crystal of the Jedi; the Jedi is the crystal of the Force; the Force is the blade of the heart. All are intertwined. The crystal. The blade. The Jedi. You are one.”

Muldah: I think it’s funny that you use that verse. It’s one of the only verses that ever mention the three together so it MUST prove the trinity!
1) That scripture never says they’re coeternal.
2) It never says they’re all equal.
3) It never says they’re all “God.”

Actually it says quite the opposite. It says in “the name of the Father”, the name of “the Son” and the name “of the holy spirit.” If these were all the same, why wouldn’t they just say “baptize in the name of God”?

I got it from the WT Kingdom Interlinear at John 20:28 where in the Greek it says: “The Lord of me, and the God of me.”

I learned a long time ago; NEVER argue with the Greek from the Kingdom Interlinear; especially if it disagrees with the NWT.

As far as Stars Wars goes: “The Force” is a term used in the ‘new age movement.’ I actually heard a JW elder use this term (he called it a “life force:” not found in the bible) when describing the spirit in the Kingdom Hall when he’s worshipping Jehovah.

Makes you wonder WHO Luke Skywalker worships when he’s using “The Force?” LOL!

Are Quartz Crystals aquarium safe?

I have some clear quartz, some Rose Quartz, some amethyst, and some colored glass bottles that I want to put in my tank… I am worried about the stones more than the glass, because I have heard many people put glass bottles in their tanks just as long as I boil the labels off.

Has anyone ever put crystals in their tank before? I know not to put things like geodes in with limestone on them, but everything seems pure except the amethyst which has some sort of black stone left from which it grew off of… and has some veins of the same stuff… Could I just sand it off with a dremel tool?
Thank you for the answers so far, but what about the other parts of stone on the amethyst? I have submerged them in water for the past week to see how they did and one has some green and white oxidization forming on the bottom, while the other hasn’t changed.

Quarts and Amethyst is safe, just make sure they are not too sharp where they are a danger to the fish.

However, amethyst is often related to high iron contents (where the purple comes from) and the base rock that is changing colors is most likely from this iron content found around the amethyst. I would certainly remove the non-amethyst base of the amethyst. It wouldn’t hurt to do the same to any base on the other crystals.

Also gypsum sometimes looks like a quartz and sometimes like broken glass but is not safe for aquariums as it is reactive in water. So no gypsum.

Topaz is one of the favored gems by jewelers and the public alike. Like other gemstones, its popularity can be attributed to its colors, and the orange-yellow type or Imperial Topaz is the most precious and most expensive form of topaz. Also, the pink varieties are the most commonly sought after in the industry. It is also acknowledged as the birthstone for November. This gem can be found in the countries of Pakistan, Japan, Sweden, Mexico, Afghanistan, and Brazil as well as in the US.

The name topaz has Greek origins. It originated from the Greek word “topazos,” which means to seek. It is also the name given to an island found in the Red Sea, which was said to be hidden and hard to locate. This island was the source of topazes during the olden times, and it was said that large yellow stones of topaz could be mined in this island. But it was later believed that what the ancient period thought of as topaz was actually a yellowish olivine. During the Middle Ages, this term was used for labeling all gemstones colored yellow.

Characteristics of Topaz

Like other gemstones, topaz has a specific chemical composition. It is made up of aluminum fluorohydroxyl silicate. Its appearance is semi-transparent to transparent. Although a pure topaz is seen as transparent, it usually has impurities, which lends it its color of wine or straw colored. Other colors available for topazes are green, blue, pink, white, yellow, and gray. After heating a yellow topaz will turn a reddish-pink. When irradiated, this gemstone changes to a light shade of blue. The hardness of Topaz has been measured at 8 based on the Mohs scale. Its gravity is about 3.4-3.6.

Topaz as Jewelry

Topaz has been used in jewelries and is one of the favorite gemstones for hundreds of years. Jewelers nowadays manufacture topazes that show iridescent colors. They do this by applying a layer of titanium oxide to the stone through the process of physical vapor deposition. The most renowned of this creation is named as the Mystic Fire Topaz, which name the company Azotic Coatings patented during the late 1990s.

Because it is the birthstone for November, topazes became one of the favorite gifts given to anybody whose birthday falls on November, and the most purchased color of topaz is the blue topaz. Topaz not only found its way into being one of the favorite stones incorporated in silver and gold jewelries, but this precious stone has also made its way into watches and other accessories.

The stones from Siberia slowly fade in color on extended exposure to sunlight. Stones as these are advised to be kept in dark areas at all times. This fading type is generally not considered desirable by buyers so caution should be taken when purchasing topaz.

To date, the biggest topaz ever excavated was tagged as El Dorado, which was found in Brazil in the year of 1984. The El Dorado weighed a heavy 6.2 kg and is a known collection of the British Royal family.
