Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Dear Sri Chandrashekhar, Sincere thanks for your kind response. I was just wondering about those golf ball sized sphatik beads because these are mainly used for Devi worship and also to magnify vibrations when worn with Rudraksha Siddha Malas or garlands of Gauri Shankar. Much appreciate your feedback about the small sphatik beads having milky white partitions/inclusions. I take it that these are the Round beads you saw? Not the diamond-cut beads? Please pardon my questions. This is because I'm very particular and fussy about sphatik beads, especially clear quartz. I'm only doing personal research on the different grades that are sold in different places, mainly to satisfy my curiosity. All feedback helps, thanks again!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Dear Chandrashekharji and Syji: Last summer Dharma Devaji gave me some splendid totally clear faceted sphatik that were golfball size. They were the inspiration for the Crystal Devi collection and can be seen on the malas as the Center bead on the website. They are hard to get, unfortunately. Perhaps Neetaji can get them now. I replenished my inventory with slightly smaller but equally clear large faceted beads from a supplier callled Fire Mountain Gems. www.firemountaingems.com. They also have excellent quality in other varieties of Sphatik such as amethyst, rose quartz, citrine..all in large sizes, but not golf ball size..

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Respected Syzenith, Thank you very much for your mail. I have seen such inclusions in small sized diamond cut beads also but I have not seen such inclusions in Sphatik Shree Yantra or Shiva Pindi. If I could get any information in connection with characterisation of Sphatik, I will let you know. I would suggest you to contact Geology Section, Science Museum, London. I have been to this museum in 1991. You can get here each and every information about precious stones. It is nicely displayed there from raw mineral material to the finished product. However, I do not have any idea about service they provide. It is a common practice in the UK that their institutions provide guidence on variety of querries by paying small fees. You can also contact Natural History Museum, London. They also provide such services. You can check their websites for more information. For botanical problems I use to take help from Kew Botanical Gardens and for mycological problems from Imperial Mycological Institute, London. I personally have very good experience of these institutions. Thanking you and with regards.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Respected Kantiji, Thank you very much for your mail. As mentioned in my other mail to Syzenith, I have seen totally clear Sphatik items like Shree Yantra and Shiva Pindi. I have also seen large sized round but not diamond cut Crystal balls made from Sphatik. If required, you can also try informaion eiether from UK or also from Smithsonian Research Institute, USA. Thanking you and with regards.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Respected Sri Chandrashekhar Sincere thanks for sharing this great information. Yes, the museums of course, and the Smithsonian in Washington DC! You're a gem (this is an Aussie term to mean 'great/wonderful person')! Kew Botanical Gardens and Imperial Mycological Institute ring some bells.. Many years ago I was studying a little about Pitcher Plant species from Borneo where I traveled around Sabah and Sarawak. I might have used references from these two highly respected establishments, I'm pretty sure. But sometimes my memory isn't very good. Also looked into the world's largest flower, the Rafflesia. Truly one of the 7 Wonders of the world botanically-speaking. The bud alone is the size of a football. Some natives of the land use these plants medicinally in remote locations. Once again, thank you for your kind darshan and information. Om Namah Shivaya Sy , chandrashekhar phadke <chphadke> wrote: > Respected Syzenith, > > Thank you very much for your mail.
