Gemstones

Gems are precious stones which are loaded with specific energies. Gems may take in different coloured rays and filter them all, but finally they keep a specific ray only. For example, Ruby is a gem in Dark Red colour. This gem will filter all other colours except Red, which is accumulated into it. When we wear Ruby, we get the Red coloured rays being absorbed into our body, and hence the effect of these rays will produce certain results. It has been experimentally proved that the Red colour increases Will-power, Anger, Dynamism, Blood flow, and the Soul is strengthened. So it is better if the people with a lack of confidence and with feelings of inferiority wear this gem.
All gems are connected to Planets in Astrology. Of course Astrology advocates that everything in this world is connected to Planets finally. What is the relation between gems and Planets? Each planet has a type of energy which is fully absorbed in a particular gem on the earth. Thus

• Sun’s energy is absorbed in Ruby.
• Moon’s energy is available in Pearl.
• Mars’s is in Coral.
• Jupiter’s is in Yellow Sapphire.
• Saturn’s energy is seen is Blue Sapphire.
• Mercury’s is in Emerald.
• Venus’s is in Diamond.
• Rahu’s is in Hessonite.
• Kethu’s is in Cat’s eye.

When there are any deficiencies in the energy levels of a Planet in a human being, the related problems concerned to that Planet will result. So it is wise to fill these deficient energies, by wearing gems. This is the route to achieve health, happiness and prosperity in life.
