Gemstone Jewellers in Sivakasi

The culture of the Indian subcontinent have used gemstones for millennia and many ancient texts detail the medicinal, spiritual and supernatural powers of various gems. Evidence, dating as far back as 5,000 years ago.

The Vedas, the oldest Indian scriptures, contain several references for the use of gems in ceremonial rituals and everyday life. They describe the powers of precious stones to influence subtle energies and connect the Earth to the rest of the universe. Because precious stones were closely associated with the Gods, they had the power to heal and influence destiny.

A gem is something that has been dug out from earth or deep sea and has many rare but miraculous qualities. A gem is unique and often rare because of its specific composition. It may differ in effects, colour, tinge and hues.

There are nine types of gems, according to the Rasaprakāśasudhākara, which is a 13th century Sanskrit literary work related to Medical Alchemy, or Rasaśāstra (Rasa literature).

  • Mauktika (‘Pearl’),

  • Tārkṣya (‘Emerald’),
  • Puṣparāga or Puṣpaka (‘Topaz’),

  • Nīla or Nīlamaṇi (‘Sapphire’),
  • Gomeda (‘Hessonite’),
  • Vaidūrya (‘Cat’s eye’)

Rasashastra (रसशास्त्र, rasaśāstra) is an important branch of Ayurveda, specialising in chemical interactions with herbs, metals and minerals. Some texts combine yogic and tantric practices with various alchemical operations.
