Gem Stones-- Difference between Lab Created Gem Stone and Natural -- SWEE

[Guest guest]

Jaya Jagannatha

 

Dear Haracharan,

Namaste

 

Bala's aura was refulgent with penance and though Indra killed him, so very,

very powerful was the " essence " of Bala's body, it was involved in a tug of

war by Devas, Yaksas, Siddhas, Serpents etc., different parts of his body

turned in different gems and they all have special powers and purposes.

(Some of these will be given in the Delhi Workshop in Jan 2006, so do try

and attend :-))

Thousands of year before lab grown Chatham Emeralds and lab grown Ruby came

into existence, it was already mentioned in the Purana!

So, what is the difference??!!

 

Love,

Swee

[vedic astrology] Gem Stones-- Difference between Lab Created Gem

Stone and Natural -- SWEE

 

Hello Experts,

 

Please explain about the difference between a LAB Created Gem Stone and

a Natural Gem Stone. How much effective is a LAB Created Gem Stone say

e.g. Blue Sapphire.

 

Most of the Stores in US keep Lab Created Gem Stones fitted in low

quality gold. Whether these act as an ideal substitute for a natural

Blue Sappire in Silver or Pure Gold.

 

 

Kind Regards,

Harcharan

Not the first instance either of something modern finding a mention

in a Hindu epic, dear Swee.

 

The Kauravas were conceived in pots, the closest you can get to a

test-tube situation. The pushpak in Ramayana was the first known

mention of an air-travel vehicle for humans. I also feel that the

brahmastra and other comparable ammo were the earliest weapons of

mass destruction, which is what they wreaked.

 

You can dig around today and find cables, but nothing to be found in

puranic times... wireless, perhaps? ;o)

 

Take care,

Dear List members,

 

Along the same lines (as discussed below), I found the following :

 

" The Indian civilisation gave us the concept of zero and modern

numbers. Brahmagupta, an Indian mathematician, (598 – 665 AD) can be

accredited with the initial work on algebra and negative numbers.

The trigonometry terms sine and cosine have there origin in

Sanskrit, the ancient language of India. "

 

Could someone please explain origin of the terms sine and cosine in

Sanskrit.

 

Thanks.

 

Regards,

Sonali

Dear Bharat,

 

Namaste

 

?

 

These are the names I have retrieved from Garuòa Purana for Emerald

substitute:

 

?

 

Bhallataka ?which is a very close imitation of emerald in features, colour

and quality but its colour fades and changes when air is blown over it.

 

It can be Green Beryl from Brazil, whose colour is not stable. It loses its

colour when it has been exposed to Air/Sun. The other one that loses its

colour is Spodumene. Zambian and Nigerian Green Beryls are stable in colour.

 

?

 

Putrika loses its brilliance when rubbed with a silken cloth. This can be

either Apatite or Peridot. Apatite’s colour is greener (less of the  y

ellowish tinge) but both Apatite and Peridot are very soft stones. After

wearing for about a year, you might as well throw away the Peridot. :-) Most

Apatite workings are around the same mining area where Aquamarine (Beryl) is

found.

 

?

 

In Emerald mining areas, mostly green Tourmalines are found. I have also

found something that maybe of interest for budding miners:

 

That if your Tourmaline finds are very good, then the finds for the

Aquamarine is mostly eroded. (Usually,  these finds are close by). Vanadium

is the compound that colours the blue beryl (aquamarine) green. (One can

also find the same compound in green Chrysoberyl).

 

?

 

I think we can safely conclude that, because Emerald comes from the Beryl

family, the best substitute is the Green Beryl which is a fraction of the

price of Emerald.

 

?

 

Love,

 

Swee

Namaskaar Sri Swee

 

Presently, I do not know the Sanskrit names for Peridot and Tourmaline. One

of the articles with me from GII, Mumbai states that Peridot is derived from

the word " Faridat " . This is said to be an arabic word which means " Gem " .

 

Tourmaline comes from the Sri Lankan Singhalese word " tura mali " . Tura Mali

means a gem of many colors. Tourmaline is actually found in many different

colors. Some beautiful tourmalines are of mixed colors.

 

If I come to know of their sanskrit names, I shall share it with you.

 

Thanks and Regards

Bharat

Dear Bharat,

 

Namaste

 

 

If you want ideal substitutes then, it is best to go in for semi precious

gemstones. For example, instead of a Emerald use Peridot or a Green

Tourmaline.

 

Thanks and Regards

Bharat

 

 

 

Please give me the Sanskrit names for both Peridot and Green Tourmaline.

 

?

 

Love,

 

Swee
