Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 GEM CLARITY: A safe test is to see the flaws in a gem and consider that if the same type of flaw was in your body, would you be healthy, sick, or dead? Only use healthy gems. Rubies are "transparent" red corundum. If NOT transparent then it is industrial-quality named "red corundum" (junk) and cannot be called ruby. In Shastra it is stated: "A ruby, although genuine, should not be worn if it has strong color banding, excessive inclusions within like numerous internal cracks, a sandy appearance, a rough surface, or is dull and lusterless. Anyone using such a flawed ruby, even out of ignorance, will suffer from disease, or loss of fortune." ---Sri Garuda Puranam: Chap. 70. Todays Indian rubies come from Mysore and Hyderabad and they are NOT auspicious nor Jyotish quality, nor they can be called rubies. They are industrial junk and used to make grinding powder. For rubies you must have transparent. These come from Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka. Africa also has transparent rubies. NOTE: Jyotish quality rubies are VERY costly, therefore it is better to use flawless Lalri (red spinel) or red garnet.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Respectfully, I have to say this doesn't seem to make sense. I don't understand. If a substance has certain qualities, then it has certain qualities. Copper conducts electricity, and therefore it always conducts electricity. If you mix impurities into the copper it may interfere with the efficiency of the copper's conductivity, but it will still be conductive, because it will still be copper. Indeed, to make copper non-conductive, you would have to add so many impurities as to make the copper unrecognizable as copper. The same should naturally apply to gemstones. A good quality ruby will transmit the energies of the sun, and a poor quality ruby will transmit the same solar energies, although less efficiently. Whether or not the energy is beneficial will be determined by the situation, not the ruby. The energy will either be beneficial or not depending on the situation it is directed into, just as the electricity directed by the copper will be dangerous or helpful (or wasted,) based upon how it is used, not how pure the copper is. This is how I understand it, at least. sacred-objects, "Richard Shaw-Brown II" <rsbj66> wrote: > > GEM CLARITY: A safe test is to see the flaws in a gem and consider > that if the same type of flaw was in your body, would you be healthy, > sick, or dead?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Dear Srmanji, Namaste!!! Ours is not the path of speculation. We have accepted Shastra as self evident. In Shastra Itihas-purana such as Sri Garuda Puranam it states repeatedly that flawed impure defective bad quality gems are harmful (not weak but harmful), so we have accepted this as fact. It also accords with common sense that a bad gem will have a bad effect, and a good gem will have a good effect. This is not an issue for speculations... In "Gemology" there is a HUGE difference between a bad diamond and a good diamond, regardless of power. A one carat D/IF diamond might sell for $12,000, but a one carat HI/ L junk bad quality diamond might sell (with difficulty) for $12. So the diamond dealers have no problem seeing the difference between a GOOD clean diamond and a BAD junk diamond. This is easy to understand.
