Pearls and gemstones for my mala

08-13-2003, 04:05 AM

I was advised to use pearls and a 6-carat topaz in my personal mala.

After reading an article on pearls by http://p-g-a.org/pearls.html ,
I am wondering if I should forget about the pearls, since those from
Rudra Centre are standard cultured pearls.

I understand that the gemstones from Rudra Centre are unheated and
untreated. However, I received no information about the 6-carat
Topaz. Does color make a difference in the astral effect of Topaz? I
saw Yellow Topaz listed at the website, but price is much less than
the stone I was recommended per carat. How many different colors are
Topaz available in?

Thanks,
Ole

Namate Oleji,

Please scroll below….

Ole: I was advised to use pearls and a 6-carat topaz in my personal
mala.

Ole: After reading an article on pearls by http://p-g-
a.org/pearls.html ,I am wondering if I should forget about the
pearls, since those from Rudra Centre are standard cultured pearls.

Sy: I took a look at the site. Shree Richard S. Brown in Bangkok,
Thailand, is one of the world's foremost gemologists to the rich and
famous. He has high knowledge, skill and immense talent. And special
siddhi. Many of the gems from him are of possibly the super-finest
quality so some of them may cost serious big bucks. While I'm not
disputing the specific article or "statement" on Shree Richard's
site, may I humbly share the following from a very humble perspective
using an example: Let's imagine we have the same parents and you are
born healthy but I was born abnormal. While Maa was carrying me, she
consumed say, alcohol and had to take medications for ailments that
are beyond her control. The chemical interferences produced an
abnormal ("cultured") child. But we are of the same womb. Would we
not then, be siblings? By the same token, the same "Shell" (oyster)
produces both natural and "cultured" pearls.

Sy: When a sand particle at the bottom of the ocean drops into an
oyster, it produces "tears" to alleviate it's pain. Over time, the
substance formed round the sand particle turns into a pearl. Because
the pearl was originated from a sand particle, it is still no less a
pearl. The "core" (sand particle) still become a pearl. Its value
and price depends on the formation, size, luster, weight, etc. Some
oysters only produce tiny bits of pearl in different shapes and
sizes – these are also called natural pearls but they are a grade
that is given little importance by pearl farmers (mostly mega-rich),
merchants and the market. (We have a big pearling industry in
Australia.)

Sy: Rudra Centre has various types of pearls of different quality
grades. The type used for making recommended Personal Malas are
not 'standard cultured pearls'. They are most likely to be natural
pearls. It is best to specify your requirements clearly and state
whether you want cultured pearls or natural pearls, when you order.

Ole: I understand that the gemstones from Rudra Centre are unheated
and untreated. However, I received no information about the 6-carat
Topaz. Does color make a difference in the astral effect of Topaz?

Sy: Generally yes. (Any expert gemologists and Jyotish
practitioners on this List? Please correct this if I'm wrong…..)

Ole: I saw Yellow Topaz listed at the website, but price is much
less than the stone I was recommended per carat. ^^^^^^^^^^

Sy: Like pearls, gems and semi-precious stones from Rudra Centre
come in different grades of quality. They range from superfine,
fine, and medium grade, etc. It is up to the individual to decide on
which grade he/she would like to have. This can be specified and
requested by contacting Miss Neeta.

Ole: How many different colors are Topaz available in?

Sy: Generally topaz comes in yellow, orange and brown. I heard it
is associated with Jupiter and a substitute for Yellow Sapphire.
Also heard in some cases, they can also be found in white, green and
blue. Fired or heated topaz becomes a red color and is sometimes
mistaken for spinel ruby. Precious topaz is transparent, light and
gold with a touch of red. Brazilian topaz is supposedly the finest.

Hope the above info helps. Above all, please use your intuition as a
guide. All things on earth, the oceans and the cosmos, are of
Shakta/Shakti.

Very humbly yours,
Om Namah Shivaya Shivaya Namah Om

Hello - on topaz - most common color of topaz is clear (colorless) and in
this form it is considered something of a substitute for diamond. Yellow or
golden topaz is a gemstone for Jupiter and yes, like all gems, the intensity
of color as well as its clarity and cut, all affect its energetic qualities
as well as its cost.

About gems - in general (with exceptions, of course) - the quality is
revealed by the cost per carat. A topaz selling at $2 per carat is not
going to be an exceptional gem by any means. Normal cost for a really high
quality yellow topaz would be more like $70 - $150 per carat. For a yellow
sapphire of astrological quality, it would be more like $300 - $600 per
carat. That is not to say that the lower cost gems are of no value
whatever. But it is to say that usually, you get what you pay for.

If a high quality yellow sapphire is beyond your budget, for example, I
always recommend the best quality yellow topaz you can afford rather than a
lower quality yellow sapphire - just to have a sapphire.

Hope this helps.....

Dear Mr. Ole,

Gem stones are available in different quality and shades. There is also
tremendous variation in their rates per carat. Topaz is a substandard stone of
Jupiter. Yellow saphire, which is also used for Jupiter is more costly than
that of the Topaz. Cost depends on colour shades, clarity, inclusions of the
stone etc. I hope this satifies your querry.

With best wishes.

With due apologies every gemstone shown at Rudra center website is not of the gem quality. Pearls are definitely cultured pearls and not real. They are piece of stone and not gemstone and hardly carry any astrological effect.

Moreover rudra center's topaz are of normal and average quality and topaz is already very cheap in the market so their prices does not make any difference.
