Dear Richard,

Namaste

 

The crimson-yellow Sapphire is Padparadscha

(commercial name) described as

Karundaka in Garuda Purana could be akin to Kshatriya varna. Only the yellow

colour is.

What about the more reddish hue tinged with yellow,

known as Kaasyaayaka

(also padparadscha)? Considering the fact that Jupiter

and Mars are friends.

 

The corundum family came from Bala asura's skin - this

includes the Blue

hues in Indranila and Somaanaka.

The darker shade of the Blue Sapphire (Mahanila - the

special

cornflour-cobalt blue) comes from Bala asura's eyes.

It is said that if a

person who sights these drove away Yama away, so it

was buried. Do you think

these are buried in the Blue Hills in Jagannath Puri

as it does state

exactly where they were buried.

 

What's your take on Karketana?

 

Love,

Swee

Dear Swee,

 

Yes, hessonite is a garnet. And gomeda colors of

malaya and spessartite

are also garnets and called Gomeda. Vedic times they

didn't know the 4

garnet groups as different except in color. Like a

hessonite, if GREEN,

is actually a Tsavorite - gem for Mercury. Both

Tsavorite and Hessonite

are identical species and family (grossularite) of

garnet, and only

differ in color.

 

Another question is an Orange Sapphire also used for

Rahu? I think not

because Garuda Puranam mentions yellow sapphires as

also being orange,

and other texts attribute varna to yellow sapphire, with the golden

orange called, " Kauranda " in Kshatriya Varna

for Jupiter.

 

Best rgds,

Richard
