The qualities of a mineral called a gem - abstract. Gems - Industrial Applications Gem Uses

Vedic Astrology is a completely new science for the Western man in the street. But it is also very good, as it gives a wide scope for research and bringing this "new" into our lives.

Wearing precious stones, in our life, is usually perceived as an opportunity to assert oneself, decorate, or, at best, are used as talismans, although the authority of the selection of an individual talisman often leaves much to be desired. But the ancient primordial science of gemology, described over 5,000 years ago, shows other benefits of wearing gemstones. Precious stones can be used: as talismans to improve one's fortune, to protect one's home, to be able to prevent accidents, to increase luck and wealth, etc.
Apart from this, gems are also widely used for astrological medical therapy. For some, this may seem ridiculous, especially for the staunch adherents of modern medicine. But reality remains a fact - stones are treated and healed quite successfully, even the most serious illness not curable by modern medicine.

I will give a few examples of the influence of gems. These stories, listed below, are real life examples. They show how the energy of the planets can be adjusted with precious stones to counteract the unwanted influences of the unfavorable planets in individual horoscopes, strengthening the strong planets, and in some cases the weak planets. Often, when people suffer from chronic, physical or mental illnesses that modern doctors or medicines are not able to cure, the main reason may be an acute deficiency, excess, or imbalance of planetary energies in a person's aura. Any qualified sidereal astrologer who knows the art of "invoking the good fortune of the planets with precious stones" will be able to help a person choose the gem that is best for him.

Story 1:

Several years ago, a famous businessman from Bombay suddenly contracted a chronic fever with very high temperaturewhich lasted day and night. The best doctors in the city came to him to diagnose and cure him, but it was all in vain. They tried Western and traditional Indian treatments, but his health deteriorated from day to day until he became partially paralyzed and permanently bedridden. After all medical attempts had failed, a famous sidereal astrologer was invited to examine him. When drawing up the natal chart of the patient's horoscope, the astrologer saw that the patient had just entered the main planetary period of the sun planet of his life, and also, he accidentally noticed on his finger right hand large red ruby \u200b\u200bring. The astrologer told the patient that in his natal chart the Sun is in exaltation, and that he has just entered the main period of the Sun, and the ruby \u200b\u200bon his hand enhances the energy of the Sun. The hot, radiant energy of the Sun, transmitted to the human body by the impeccable ruby \u200b\u200bon his hand, led him to a sustained fever. The patient removed the ring and completely recovered his health, without the help of any medication.

Story 2:

In India, in the city of Kanpur, there was a university scientist who suffered from painful boils all over his face. He tried various treatments, but nothing eased his misery. Subsequently, a careful study of his horoscope showed that his body accepts the negative energy of an unfavorable Mars in his horoscope. In addition, Mars rules fire, face and is usually associated with abscesses. He was advised to strengthen the influence of the moon by wearing pearls set in silver, and although he felt skeptical about this kind of traditional astro-therapy, he, feeling skepticism, decided to try astro-therapy for precious stones anyway, since this was his last hope. ... Within one month of wearing pearls in silver, his illness gradually began to disappear, the abscesses on his face disappeared, and he fully recovered his health.

Story 3:

Another story told by a sidereal astrologer from the West. The story of Ms. Chow Tungom from Taiwan: “In June 1992, when we were living in Thailand, my husband bought me a gemstone talisman to protect me from accidents and invisible negative forces. It was a beautiful Moonstone, in a ring of white gold... Two months later, in August, I returned to Taiwan alone to visit my family. My three sisters celebrated the beauty of my new ring. One evening, a week later, one of my sisters noticed a large crack in the middle of my Moonstone and this caught my attention. Fully convinced of the appearance of a crack in the stone, for some unknown reason, we all went to bed and forgot about it. The next morning, we wanted to take a closer look at the shattered Moonstone in sunlight, but when I looked at my ring, the stone was not there! Anyway, he disappeared from my ring. We searched the bed, the floor, the entire house, but found no sign of a stone. That same morning, a friend of mine came to see me to take me with old friends to shop in his car. After about 15 minutes, I suddenly remembered that I had to stop at the airline office to buy tickets back to Thailand and asked my friend to stop there. He offered to wait, but I did not want to disturb him and my friends, and told them to go without me, that I would meet with them later for breakfast. They drove on without me, and a few minutes later they got into a serious car accident, all of them were very seriously injured and hospitalized. A friend of mine lay motionless in the hospital for six months and almost lost his leg. When I heard about the accident the same day, I immediately thought about the crack in my ring and its subsequent disappearance the night before the accident, I heard similar stories about planetary talismans "deflecting" failure and preventing unforeseen disasters. When I returned to Thailand a few weeks later and told my husband what had happened, the first thing he did was pick up the phone and ordered another talisman ring for me! "

Story 4:

One married woman, in India, left her husband because she felt that he no longer loved her. After moving to her parents' house, she went to a famous astrologer to discuss her marital problem. After drawing up her horoscope and examining it, the astrologer told her that the current situation depends entirely on the weak position of Jupiter in her horoscope. In order to strengthen Jupiter and attract the favorable energy of this planet into her body, he advised her to buy and wear a flawless yellow sapphire, but not more than three carats in weight. Her parents immediately acquired this gem for her and inserted it into gold ring... Wearing this ring, she returned to her husband's house, and thanks to the power of Jupiter attracted by her new ring, she restored her husband's love and affection, and subsequently bore him two beautiful children.

Story 5:

Another example is from India, where the power of gemstones is taken for granted. It is believed that belief in planetary hemology can protect a person from premature death. In Uttar Pradesh, India, there was a gentleman who used to wear an emerald good qualitybased on the advice of your personal astrologer. One day, when buying a ticket on an airline to Bombay, he noticed a small crack in the emerald. Considering this fact as a bad omen, he immediately canceled the flight reservations, and the plane took off without him. The plane crashed and all the people on board were killed!

Story 6:

One American, because of his activities on the black market, was very afraid of the government. To ward off this danger, he bought himself a flawless gem, cat's eye weighing more than 3 carats. About six months later, the police caught him at the scene. After that, he began to cooperate with the government and, ultimately, it all ended with a probationary period for him. Then he was allowed to move away from his home, where he was freed from reprisals. The cat's eye, projecting the energy of the planet Ketu, helped him overcome his negative karma of government punishment and also saved from danger the hidden enemies he feared as a result of his cooperation. A study of his sidereal horoscope showed that the position of Ketu (the deity that ruled the cat's eye gem) was strongly negative. The increase in the energy of the planet Ketu, almost immediately proved to be harmful. It was an excellent quality gem that he must have preserved to this day.

Story 7:

One day, the owner of a nightclub came to an astrological showroom of talismans and gems in Bangkok. While waiting for her horoscope, she saw a Martian bracelet with a large red coral. She immediately put on the bracelet and left the store, saying that she would return to pay for the purchase. But less than 10 minutes later, she returned the bracelet, explaining that she had just had a big fight with her friend, who objected to her wearing red coral. After viewing her horoscope, everyone saw that Mars was in Leo, a very strong fiery position, indicating (among other things) romantic conflicts. The increase in the energy of Mars by wearing a large red coral immediately had a strong effect on her connection, which was apparently deep.

A story from the Puranas:

The ancient Sanskrit scriptures known as the Puranas contain a famous story describing the power of blue sapphires. Once, the famous king Dusyanta was hunting in the forest and accidentally met there a beautiful girl Shakuntala, who captivated him with her beauty. She was the daughter of a powerful sage living as an ascetic yogi in the wilderness. Wanting to marry her, the king gave her a beautiful ring with a blue sapphire to secure his engagement with it. He then told the girl that she could come to his palace any time she felt ready for family life. A few months later, she was standing on the banks of the river and collecting water for her father. Suddenly, the sapphire ring slipped from her finger and fell into the river, and there it was swallowed by a fish. When Shakuntala came to visit the king to accept his proposal for marriage, the king did not recognize her and could not remember his promise. Greatly upset, she returned to her father's hut in the forest. After a while, the fish that swallowed the ring was caught by fishermen, and a precious sapphire was found in its stomach. Thinking that it must be something important, the fisherman took the ring to the king. The king, looking at the stone, immediately remembered Shakuntala and his proposal for marriage. He sent messengers for her, and soon they got married and lived a long happy life, thanks to the precious stone that helped to fulfill their destiny.

Another of the most famous stories in the Puranas:

(She is described in the 10th Canto of the Great Maha Bhagavata Purana: Book 10, Chapter VII.)

More than 5,000 years ago, at the end of the Dvapara-yuga or "Copper Age", Lord Krishna appeared on this earth. During the last part of His sojourn on this planet, Krishna was involved in an argument over the wonderful ruby \u200b\u200bknown as Syamantaka. King Satrajit, who was a follower of Surya (the sun god), worshiped him for many years and as a reward for his devotion received from him a blessing and a gift - an unusual ruby. This ruby, known as Syamantaka, had the ability to produce eighty-five kilograms of gold daily for its owner. The luster of this stone was so strong that people took King Satrajit for the sun god, wherever he carried the precious stone. Once Satrajit went to see Lord Krishna in His kingdom of Dvaraka. Krishna, seeing Satrajit's inflated ego and attachment to the gem, decided to relieve him of this unnecessary attachment and asked him for this gem. When Satrajit refused, Krishna relented and said nothing more about it. But the inhabitants of Dvaraka were astonished at what Satrajit did, and soon the news spread throughout the kingdom. Later, Satrajit's brother Prasena borrowed the gem and went to the forest to hunt. While hunting, Prasena was attacked by a large tiger and killed him, in turn the great Jambavan, Tsar Medvedev, attacked the tiger and also killed him, taking the Syamantaka stone into his cave, and letting him play with his little son... Soon, news of the disappearance of the gem turned into ugly rumors that perhaps Krishna was the cause of the theft. In order to refute the false rumors about Himself, Lord Krishna went in search of the jewel, accompanied by a large group of followers. After a while, they found the dead bodies of Prasena and the tiger. Finally, they came to the Jambavan cave, and Krishna entered the cave alone, leaving his companions at the entrance. Seeing Krishna, but not knowing His greatness, Jambavan attacked Him. Their struggle continued continuously for 14 days and 14 nights. After such a long fight, Jambavan felt that he was losing, while Krishna did not show any signs of loss of strength, and moreover, he became even stronger. In this position, Jambavan realized what kind of person he was and offered Krishna the jewel and his daughter as an excuse. When Krishna returned with a glorious victory to Dvaraka, the truth became known and the Lord returned the Syamantaka jewel to King Satrajit. The legend of the gem does not end there, it continues further and further, but the most unforgettable part of the story is directly related to Lord Sri Krishna.

These are just a few of the amazing cases associated with the powerful therapeutic power of gemstones that can affect human health and longevity by enhancing, attracting and strengthening various types energies of the planets. In conclusion, it can be said that the gems for the planets that are malefic in the horoscope and also the gems of the planets that are of a tough nature, like Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu, can be used primarily to pacify these planets through the recitation of mantras and the performance of sacrifices. ... Used as a remedy for graha puja or invoking the welfare of the planets, gems help increase the effect of these treatments. But people can only experience disappointment when using gems, which represent a harmful planetary influence on their lives. Therefore, in order to pacify the planets using precious stones, one must observe all aspects of these rituals correctly. Otherwise, it is best to avoid gems that can have a harmful effect on your life. One of the most secret aspects of "Planetary Gemology" is the planetary deities who rule gems. These are graha-devas, they belong to the cosmic hierarchy and their influence is manifested, depending on the rasi (sign) and bhava (house) that they occupy in the horoscope, the main planetary period (approximate influence 60%) and their sub-period (approximate influence 30 %). There are many other points that must also be taken into account: periods of the Sun (30 days), lunar periods, aspects, masters of their own signs, transits, and many other subtle points that give an understanding of the horoscope as a whole. In the East, the understanding and conviction of the influence of the graha-devs or the "cosmic hierarchy" is deeply rooted in the ancient Vedic tradition. Where the use of precious stones as a way of invoking the ruling deity of the planet of the precious stone is still prevalent to this day. This most secret aspect of "gem therapy" is not for those who do not believe in karma or rebirth.

Finds of tools and ornaments made of ornamental stones are already found in the settlements of the Late Paleolithic and Neolithic. In the settlements of the Late Paleolithic, scrapers and spearheads made of jasper and rock crystal were found. The Neolithic is characterized by the widespread use of quartz, jasper, jade, obsidian, chalcedony, onyx and amber. These stones served as adornments, amulets, amulets, figurines of gods were carved from them. In the Bronze Age, the stone began to be placed in a metal frame. In many ancient cultures, gems were attributed to supernatural properties, used as amulets that protect from evil spirits and promote healing, or as talismans that bring good luck, success in business, victory in war. For example, in Ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle carved from lapis lazuli or carnelian was considered a symbol of the immortality of the soul. Prayers, spells were engraved on precious stones, they played an important role in religious rituals. In ancient times, seals carved into stone replaced a personal signature.

precious mineral stone deposit

Conclusion

In the course of my work, I studied the properties of precious stones, gave a general description of minerals. He studied large deposits of precious stones in the Urals. I considered the fields of application of precious stones and learned a lot for myself: precious stones are an important raw material for the jewelry industry and have always been appreciated in all countries of the world.

To write my work, I visited the Ural Geological Museum, where I learned a lot of information about my mineral and was able to see samples of precious stones that are located on the 3rd floor in the museum.

Topaz, garnets, amethysts, beryls, amethysts and many other precious stones, including alexandrite and chrysoberyl, are very widely represented in the museum.

Stones (minerals) created by nature, which are distinguished by their special transparency, hardness, beautiful appearance and tints of light on the edges, are called precious.

But this name can be considered conditional. Initially, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and pearls were called precious stones. The rest of these minerals are called "semiprecious" (although it is incorrect to divide them by price). Jewelers around the globe use the term "gemstone" to mean meeting the criteria for beauty and the presence of certain properties of the mineral.

Where are precious minerals used?

Beautiful stones have attracted human attention since ancient times. It used to be thought that minerals have miraculous properties. Allegedly, some of them helped from various diseases, others possessed a love spell, and others relieved of sorrow and troubles.

But the stones not only brought aesthetic pleasure and "healed", but were also necessary for the development of ancient man. From hard stones, which were tied to sticks, the ancient people began their labor activity (they began to make stone axes, knives and other tools).

Now precious minerals are also called gems, they are used in production jewelry (rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches, pendants); items of artistic value (ashtrays, vases); souvenir products; skillful handicrafts (boxes, vases, figurines). Gemstones have color, pattern, strength and hardness.

Gemstones are subdivided into stones for cutting and crafts. Cut stones are crystals of minerals that can be colored or colorless; have a clean tone; are transparent or translucent; have good hardness, resistant to chemical attack, amenable to grinding and cutting. They are used to make jewelry.

Stones for crafts are mainly opaque minerals that have an interesting color (sometimes monochromatic or variegated) with an unusual pattern. They can be sanded down with ease. They are used to create decorative products.

In addition to cutting and ornamental minerals, there are also jewelry and ornamental stones. They are used when jewelry-haberdashery and souvenir-stone-cutting items are made in large quantities for mass demand. Then jewelry items are processed as beads, plates, cabochons (their surface is smooth, convex, polished and without edges).

Precious stones are needed not only in the manufacture of jewelry and beautiful crafts... They are also collected as collectibles, and also used as financial assets and investments, so they become a sign of good wealth and prestige.

The history of the use of precious stones goes back millennia. People have always chosen something that delights the eye with its appearance and brilliance, is rare and lasts a long time.

Gems have always accompanied and helped humanity. Gems served as amulets and talismans. According to ancient legends, precious stones protect their owner from hostile forces, bring happiness and good luck. At the same time, it was not overlooked that each gem works in a special way. Some protect from evil, others keep health, others serve as an antidote, cause the mercy of higher powers. The sailors of the Middle Ages strongly believed that precious stones contribute to a safe return from sailing.

Both in ancient legends and in the studies of modern scientists, there is undeniable evidence of the effect of precious stones and metals on human health and mental state. However, for such an influence of precious stones to take place, the selection precious jewelry must be performed by a qualified technician. Jewelry should always be selected in detail and carefully, observing the reaction of a person. In ancient times, individual selection of precious jewelry was affordable only for the rich and influential people.

Few people know, but in ancient times, the person who possessed many precious stones was considered truly rich, and this is not accidental. Gems carry strength and power, giving their owner good luck. The brow of the rulers of any ancient state was necessarily adorned with a crown or other attire, set with precious stones. Ancient sources say that if the crown is made correctly, then it protects the ruler from all adversity. On the other hand, no one else can wear it without harm to themselves. Remember the famous Monomakh hat - after the death of the owner, no one was able to put it on.

The ancient Indian rajas were adorned with numerous precious stones to bestow courage, courage and good fortune. From time immemorial, detailed instructions for the selection of precious stones for the crown of the ruler have come down to us. The stones were selected in such a way as to endow the king with imperious strength and power emanating from them. In the Vedic chronicles, there is a case when the king, wanting to defeat the ruler of a hostile state, presented him with a crown, which a few days later caused an incurable disease in the king.

However, you should not go for examples in the jungle of historical chronicles. Any woman will tell you that one piece of jewelry is pleasant to wear, as if she had not taken it off for many years, another one wants to take off almost immediately. The subconscious desire to take off a ring or necklace is manifested in frequent touching of jewelry. We may simply not pay attention to such people, but one has only to think about it, as for sure an image of a woman fingering her earrings, as it may seem, out of excitement, or a man playing with wedding ring on your finger.

It is difficult to deceive the subconscious - it reacts to the most subtle influences. But not everyone knows how to discern this in human behavior.

How to choose your stone correctly? Your sympathy plays the main role here. You should like the stone. This may well be enough, because it is not uncommon for a person to subconsciously feel which stone is right for him.

Some people choose their stone based on their zodiac sign.

Many people make their choice based on this or that knowledge about stones.

In terms of quality, gemstones are divided into 3 groups: ornamental, semi-precious and precious. Precious stones are rare and in rather small quantities. Gems, in turn, are divided into 3 classes:

Diamonds (in faceted form called diamonds), various varieties of corundum - sapphires and rubies, emerald - alexandride, green beryl, euclase.
Aquamarine (greenish-bluish), topaz, amethyst (purple quartz), phenakite, almandine (red garnet), hyacinth (creamy zircon), uvvarovite (green garnet), noble spinel.
Garnets, cordierite, kyanite, epidote, turquoise, diopside, green tourmaline, smoky quartz, rock crystal, agate, chalcedony, carnelian, heliotrope, plasma, chrysoprase, moonstone, sunstone.

Mineral formations of organic origin also belong to the group of precious stones: corals, pearls, amber. And the stones of the third class are also called semi-precious. They have the same properties as precious ones, but only less pronounced, and they are also much more common in nature. Ornamental stones are minerals and rocks, having a beautiful color and, most often, a complex abstract pattern, which gives them rather high decorative properties. They polish very well. They are used to make various decorative items - boxes, vases, figurines, etc.

And Tiger Eye just loves money. The stone intensely begins to attract them and does not like to part with them. Once this young man went to an ATM to withdraw money and repay a debt to his friend.
