The semi precious stones like Topaz, Golden Topaz, Yellow coloured tourmaline, zircon and pearls and citrina are very cheap and they can be used as substitution.

The Topaz or yellow sapphire is the stone of Jupiter-Guru, who governs yellow and gold colours. Its Sanskrit names are Pushya-rag, Pushpa-rag, Peetha-mani, Jeeva- ratna and Guru-ratna. Its Hindi name is PUKHRAJ. This gem resembles the Star Pushya, hence it is named as Pushya-raga.

 There are two varieties of Topaz

 the white coloured topaz os {ushyaraga and the gold coloured one is "Kanaka-pushya- raga". Kanaka means gold.

 Yellow or gold colour topaz is considered as the real Pushya-raga, because that is the colour of Jupiter.

 It is one of the five main gems- Pancharatnas and also the nine main gems-Navaratnas. The good topaz is pure, clean, shining, soft, smooth, solid, heavy and beautiful, without any spots, cracks, layers, holes or other defects. It will be brighter when rubbed on a polished stone.

The stone which is uneven, rough, dull, faded, dry, with spots, cracks and black, red, brown or yellow tints and does not radiate yellow rays, should not be worn. The defective stones cause many problems instead of giving good results. The topaz with webs and layers causegastric troubles. Red dots cause loss of money or assets and cracks in the stone cause losses by theft or raids. The topaz which looks dried up with depression creates mental unrest, fears and tensions. Milk-white gem may cause accidents and injuries. Mixture of black and white colours in the gem may destroy the wealth and live-stock of the person who wears it. The dull stone which does not radiate yellow rays will spoil the harmony in the domestic life and caused litigations, quarrels and enemity. Jupiter is the planet for progress, expansion, opportunity, optimism, wisdon, talents, prosperity and fame.

According to Hindu astrology, this planet governs money and progeny also. A person who wears real topaz gets the benefic results of Jupiter like financial gains, progeny, success in higher studies and intellectual professions and gets relief from financial difficulties, legal problems and worries caused by children. Women wear this stone, if marriage is long delayed. It is helpful to pregnant ladies who wish smooth delivery. The hardness of topaz is 8 and its specific gravity 3.53. The original Pushya-rag does not loose its luster even after dipping it in pure milk for about 24 hours. If it is put on a pure white cloth and exposed to Sun, it spreads yellow rays on the cloth. It removes the poison when it is placed on the sport of snake or scorpion bite. The powder of topaz is used in Ayurvedic medicine as a remedy for certain deseases like indigestion, piles, leprosy, bleeding, diabetis, head- aches, fevers, ailments caused by excess of phlegm and wind, insomnia and mental deseases. It acts as an antidote. The stones are found in Brazil, Japan, Scotland, Ireland, Rhodasia, Mexico, Tasmania, Srilanka and other places. The topaz found alongwith Ruby is considered the best. Brazil produces large of quantity of topaz. Yellow saphire, citrine, quartz, yellow tourmadine and yellow zircon are used as substitutes to Topaz. Citrine is a yellow quartz called Golden Topaz.

Pearl is one of the nine main gems-Navaratnas. It is of calcium carbonate, its hardness is 3.5, or 3.4 and its specific gravity ranges from 2.65 to 2.86. Mostly the pearls are found in the seas, generally formed in the shell-fish oysters. It is believed that the rains drops falled inside the shells of the mollusk become pearls when the Star Swathi is transited by Sun, opproximately from October 24 to November 6. The pearls produced by the oysters during Swathi rain are considered the best because they are clean, white, radiant and beautiful.

The real pearls shine well in the bright fortnight and appear to be little black in the dark half of the month. If the pearls are kept in cow's urine mixed with salt for sometime and rubbed with husk, they should shine well as before and should not break. If they loose lustre or break, they are not original pearls. The while pearl with pure watery shade is a good gem.

There are three types of pearls: 

1. Aani

2. Suthara  

3. Supani

classified according to the colour, shape, size and lustre by the ancient scholars.

 The Aani type is round in shape radiating white rays. 

The Suthara shines like a star and the

 Supani is very white, clean and radiant.
