天铁又称镍铁陨石
化学成份：镍与铁，硬度：4，比重：7.87，熔点：1600—1800。
据说陨石都来自外太空，在通过大气层时表面已被高达2000摄氏度的温度给轻微融化了，当将其切开时可以看到里面镍铁组合而成的错综复杂交织的纹面，这是与平常的铁的区别，当然用磁铁也是可以将天铁吸附的，通常天铁表面均有细微的沙孔和黑中夹带灰白或微黄等颜色；极象平常的铁。
天铁的能量勇猛刚烈，蕴藏着无与伦比的力量，密宗称之为“天铁”，即是“来自天上的铁”之意，多用来制造成金刚杵、普巴杵等法器。
天铁 – 灵性作用
1.天铁的能量极强，佩戴天铁饰物，是极佳的护身符和辟邪物；若能在平时使用时持之念咒、诵经一段时间效果更佳；
2.将天铁放置于家中，如挂在房门、窗边、阳台、病床、书桌前或车上等，有压制不协调、不稳定的能量场的“镇宅”之功效，使得空间安详、平安如意；
3.由天铁制成的各种法器，具有极大的力量，可用于驱魔、除邪、制煞、解厄等，亦可用于祈福、祈愿、修法等，易于与法界沟通，配合念咒、诵经效果更佳。
4.可以用来作为其它水晶消磁、充电之工具，其本身的消磁可用檀香或沉香消磁。

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Color in gemstones breaks down into three components: hue, saturation, and tone. Hue is most commonly understood as the “color” of the gemstone. Saturation refers to the vividness or brightness or “colorfulness” of the hue, and tone is the lightness to darkness of the hue.[5] Blue sapphire exists in various mixtures of its primary (blue) and secondary hues, various tonal levels (shades) and at various levels of saturation (brightness).
Blue sapphires are evaluated based upon the purity of their primary hue. Purple, violet, and green are the most common secondary hues found in blue sapphires.[6] Violet and purple can contribute to the overall beauty of the color, while green is considered to be distinctly negative. Blue sapphires with up to 15% violet or purple are generally said to be of fine quality. Blue sapphires with any amount of green as a secondary hue are not considered to be fine quality. Gray is the normal saturation modifier or mask found in blue sapphires. Gray reduces the saturation or brightness of the hue and therefore has a distinctly negative effect.[6]
The color of fine blue sapphires can be described as a vivid medium dark violet to purplish blue where the primary blue hue is at least 85% and the secondary hue no more than 15% without the least admixture of a green secondary hue or a gray mask.[5]

斯里兰卡的梵文意思是“宝石之国”，它以盛产红宝石、绿宝石、猫眼石、蛋白石和蓝宝石名闻天下。
在这当中又以蓝宝石最为著名。二十世纪八十年代初，有人在斯里兰卡的拉特纳普拉地区发现一巨大蓝宝石，经加工打磨之后尚重三百六十二克拉，为世界第三大蓝宝石，被命名为“斯里兰卡之星”，作为国宝收藏在科伦坡的国家博物馆里。
这个国家宝石虽多，但并非人人都识宝。有人终日与宝石厮混，但穷得无法餬口；有人孜孜以求，宝石竟避而不见；有人无心寻宝，却意外地大发其财。不过真靠宝石发财者，毕竟是那些对宝石的特点了如指掌的行家。
有个珠宝商生有慧眼，能在十英尺外鉴别宝石真伪优劣。有一天，他在乡下见一女子在河中沐浴，用石擦背，目不转睛地盯着看。那女子始 而羞怯，继而狂怒，责问他为何如此无礼。此人答道：他并非是对异性沐浴的轻薄儿，而是喜欢她擦背用的石头，愿以重金买下。女子以为他神经有病，执意不卖。而 他则认为女人有意抬价，便不断加码。当他出到一百三十五美元时，女子见他真心想买这无用的石块，便卖给了他，但提出一个条件：他必须把钱放在原地，退离百 步之外，不许回头偷看。待她上岸取走了钱，确认他没有歹意时，才将石块扔到岸上，由他自己去捡。这些认真而又可笑的条件，认宝人都接受并且照办了，最终得 到了女子手中的石块。
那女子哪里知道，她认为毫无用处的石块原来是一块难得一见的高级蓝宝石毛坯，识宝人后来将它卖出，整整赚了一万六千美元！不久，人们根据这一线索，在她拾取这块宝石的地里发现了一个蓝宝石矿。
宝矿井中的采石技工
虽然世界已经进入高科技时代，斯里兰卡的蓝宝石开采仍很原始。矿井深达几十公尺，下矿井犹如下地狱。井壁上只用木桩支撑，随时都有 倒塌将矿工活埋的危险。工具也很简单，无非铲、镐、铁、撬棒等物。人们下到矿井底下，将可能藏有宝石或矿砂的泥土用筐子吊出井来进行筛选，一个个把眼睛睁 得溜圆。虽然采宝石要办理特许手续，卖宝石也只有国家批准的国营公司有权。但实际上，谁想采谁都可以去采，谁想买卖，谁都可以去干，只是别去招惹警察。

Gemstone Sri Lanka Cat's eye
Cats Eye or Lehsunia is the stone of planet Ketu, the Dragon’s Tail. Ketu is the trunk part of the planet “Rahu”. In Vedic Astrology, Rahu is said to be a shadow planet. He is the son of “Sinhika” the daughter of “Hirnyakashayp”.As per Hindu Mythology, at the time of “Sagar Manthan”, the devil “Rahu” managed to drink the immortal fluid “Amrit” along with holy angels “Devtas”. Lord Vishnu became angry and cut his head using his “Sudarshan Chakra”. But as Rahu managed to drink “Amrit”, he could not die. As the result the head and the trunk of his body were still alive. Afterwards, these two parts of his body became the shadow planet by the name of “RAHU” and “KETU”.
