THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GEMSTONES
Gemstones work, but they are not magic. They take their time. But when a substance of such strong vibration touches your body, day and night, it certainly affects the body and especially the Nervous System and the spiritual aura of an individual.
Just like medical science, the success of gemstone therapy too, depends on how properly and correctly it’s implemented. If you’re new to the world of gemstones and want to be benefited through the amazing science of astro-gemology, the following points can be quite helpful for you.
Some factors of effectiveness of Gemstones are:
1) Treatment and Man-Made Gems:
All that glitters is not gold. And all colored stones are not astrological gems.
Synthetic, or in other words lab-manufactured gems may look similar to natural gems but they have no astrological significance.
Also, nowadays there is a widespread malpractice of applying “treatment” to the natural gems to enhance their clarity and looks.
This too reduces or nullifies the gem’s power and renders it useless for astrological use.
2) Test and Wear Approach:
Many astrologers suggest their clients to test a gemstone before wearing it to confirm if it suits the individual. The methodology is found to be followed especially in case of Blue Sapphire (Neelam).
A real gem has the capacity to do significant damage even during testing if it doesn’t suit you. The approach is suggested by astrologers who either don’t have sufficient astrological knowledge or are not confident of their skill.
Your horoscope contains all the information required to determine which gems suit you (without any testing). The only thing you need to do is – consult the right astrologer.
3) Correct Recommendation:
In Vedic Astrology, there are 9 planets and there’s one gemstone for each of them. As per your horoscope some planets are your friends while others aren’t (malefics). It is advisable to wear gem of your benefic planets only; else it may do more harm than good.
4) Ratti/Weight:
Firstly, ratti is not the standard unit; carat is. So till date if you’ve been buying gems in rattis, it’s better to switch to carats to avoid being cheated.
Secondly, weight of the gem is not the only factor which determines its power. There are other important parameters as well like colour, clarity and cut. They too should be considered.
