Gems and
Precious
Stones |
|
|
Gem and
precious
stones are
perennial
source of
inexhaustible
energy.
Astrologically
they have
the
potential to
increase the
potentiality
of a
particular
gem for a
particular
planet. They
are
generally
worn for
health,
wealth,
power and
popularity. |
|
|
From times
immemorial,
gems
(previous
tones) have
been used by
royalties,
nobles and
women to
adorn
themselves.
Astrologically,
these gems
have the
potential to
increase the
potentiality
of a
particular
gem for a
particular
planet. |
|
|
|
|
|
Normally,
depending on
the birth
chart, a gem
is suggested
to be worn
for
increasing
wealth,
power and
popularity
apart from
averting
diseases. In
ancient
times, Kings
used to
collect the
best of gems
(Kohinoor
etc.) to
protect
themselves
from bad
evils to
stay in
power and
also for
increasing
longivity. |
|
|
|
|
|
The
rationale
and purpose
of gems
would depend
on the
characteristics,
colour and
vibrations
of planets
as most of
the major
important
gems stand
attributed
to one of
the Planets/Nakshatra.
Colour of
the gems
also play a
major role
and
influence
the native
and others
who see the
gemmed ring
on the
finger of
the native.
It may be
mentioned
that our
saints/sages
had
mentioned
that the
malefic
power
released by
the planets
is always
negative
whereas the
power of the
gem/precious
stone is
always
positive.
When the
negative
meets the
positive.
both are
neutralized.
Briefly, it
would be apt
to refer to
the gems
attributed
to the
planets: |
|
|
|
|
|
Ruby - The
Sun, Pearl -
the Moon,
Red Coral -
Mars,
Emerald -
Mercury,
Yellow
Sapphire -
Jupiter,
Diamond -
Venus, Blue
Sapphire -
Saturn,
Gomedha -
Rahu, Cat's
Eye - Ketu. |

Do not call
gems as
"Stone" or "Pather"
- they are
Nav-ratna-
Call them "Ratans"
and they
need to be
properly
worshipped
before
wearing. |

considered
auspicious
to ensure
happy
conjuugal
life and

become cause
of poverty
and other
miseries,
including
diseases. |

Pearl with a
Yellow
lustre is
considered

bestow fame
and name
apart from

(fortune).

not harmed
as good-luck
