Can one wear a Red Garnet (Rhodolite) gem stone for strengthening of Sun in a chart ? I am little confused, because Garnets are also meant for Ketu. If yes, how much weight one should prefer ?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Om Krishna Guru Dear Sarajit, That's what I thought, until I was corrected by Sanjayji. Sanjayji also says that a Ruby is too hot for a lady, so a red garnet is the next best. I have now for my collection Garud Puran under Sanjayji's instructions. Hoping to have informed you.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Respected Sanjayji, Sweeji, and members : Is it ok for a male to wear a Rhodolite Garnet for Sun ? And if yes, how much weight in carat should one prefer for an 165 lb weighing man ? Thanks for your replies and patience with me.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Om Krishna Guru Dear Kumar, Rhodolite is pinkish in colour. In the gem industry, premium is paid for the blue over tones [from presence of too much magnesium], which you may like to avoid. It maybe better to get the lighter coloured one [much cheaper]; commonly called Rose Garnet [not Rose Quartz]. Rhodolite is from the pyrope family, and it's absorption rate is about 45% higher than Ruby, so I do think it pertinent that at least double the recommended size of Ruby will increase it's effulgence. +/- 9 carat in weight would suffice. Ruby almost equates the wave lengths to that of Diamond, and a garnet equates to half of that. I do not know of any type of garnet family that has been taken to represent Ketu, except for the [micro crystalline; chalcedony] quartz family group. Grossular Garnet, better known as Hessonite is the normal recommended gemstone for Rahu, though if you are looking for a much clearer colour than that, then spessartite/orange garnet can be the alternative. Though in my opinion, Tourmaline that comes in a myriad of colours would be the best alternative, as it's absorption rate is much lower than any of the alternatives. [i.e., it is about +/- 20%, though some of the green colours equate that of white diamonds], so similar weights for these can be prescribed.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Dear Sweeji, I am indebted to you for your in depth response. I will try for a Tourmaline of 4.5 carats, before finalizing Rhodolite Garnet. Respectfully, Kumar , "Swee" <swee@c...> wrote: > Om Krishna Guru > > Dear Kumar, > > Rhodolite is pinkish in colour.
