Iran Persian Natural Neyshabur Firoozeh Shajar Turquoise Sterling Silver 925 Ring

Why Wear Feroza:

Feroza is a beautiful stone which is found in Tibet, China, Australia, Mexico,
Peru, Chile, Turkistan, Afghanistan, but the best has been mined
in Iran (formerly known as Persia) for over 5000 years in Ali-Mersai mountain
range of Nishapur, Mashhad of Khorasan province.

Tradition states the mines of Nishapur, in northeastern Iran, described in
1300 AD as having belonged to Isaac ,son of Abraham .

In Iran, Feroza is called “Ferozah”, which translated means “victory”.
It is Iran’s national gemstone. It is believed that the first specimens of
Feroza to which the Europeans were exposed probably came from Iran via trading posts
in Turkey. The best of Iranian Feroza is rich blue, with less matrix than most Feroza
mined elsewhere. It is also distinguished by white patches. Feroza is never
a hard mineral, but Iranian Feroza is usually harder than Feroza mined in other locations.

The Persians classified Feroza into three quality groups:

· Angushtari. This is first quality, suitable for the finest jewelry. These stones
had the rich blue “Persian Feroza” color with little marking or matrix.

· Barkhaneh. This is second-quality Feroza, much like Angushtari but with
more markings and matrix.

· Arabi. These stones were considered third-rate due to a pale blue or
green shade or unwanted speckles. (Spots in Persian Feroza tend to be white,
not black.)

The benefits of Feroza:

It helps to create joy in the heart. It helps improve eyesight, the brain & the heart.
Feroza gives strength to the eyes, expands the breast, and strengthens the heart. Whenever a momin goes for some work with Feroza ring on his finger, his work is done. The great philosopher, Aristotle, said Feroza helps to create humbleness & pity for others and is good for diabetics. It protects from the stings of scorpions, snakebites, lightening & drowning.

one who wears Feroza.

· Tradition says Imam Musa e Kazim says that a Feroza stone was brought
by Jibrail as a gift from heaven to the Holy Prophet . The Prophet had passed
it to Ali and it had come down to him through his Holy line of ancestors.

· Imam Jaffar e Sadiq has said a person who wears a ring set with Feroza
will never become dependent on others and will not see poverty.

· Tradition states that someone had married but no children were conceived
he went to Imam Muhammad Taqi to obtain his advice. The imam told
him to wear a ring with Feroza set in it with the following inscription:
‘O My Lord! Leave me not alone (without an issue) though Thou are
the best of Heirs.’ (21:89) Before the year ended, they were blessed with
a son from the same wife.
