Since
Gems
are so powerful, they should be chosen very carefully
& meticulously. Just as the right stone can prove beneficial,
the wrong Gem
Stone can prove equally detrimental.
Be
careful to look for the following properties/qualities in your
Gem stone....
Before
Buying______
Ensure
you are selecting the Right Gem, only after expert
Astrological consultation & thorough analysis of your Horoscope.
Though each Gem has numerous individual benefits, but it
is recommended to decide which one is ideal only after an
expert has analyzed the present 'dasa' periods, position of
planets and various other astrological factors..
The
Gem should be of the prescribed Weight and Size. It can
be above the minimum size and weight, but wearing a Gem below
the minimum weight will yield no benefit. Never wear fractions
of 3/4, since it is very inauspicious.
The
Gem should always be Untreated and Unheated. Any
chemical or heat treatment of Gem stones negatively affects
their basic natural properties, their astrological power and
spiritual benefit. When choosing Vedic Gems, don't go for
their transparency, because most of the totally transparent
Gems are treated to cure their imperfections.
There
are always some Gem stones which are dead stones, incapable of
yielding any astrological benefit. This property is not
visible thru' a naked eye. Only an expert can distinguish
between a dead and a Pro-active Gem stone. Some stones
are so pro-active, it is difficult to hold them for long
between the tips of two fingers - they slip or jump out of
one's hands.
After
Buying and While Wearing______
Ensure
that the Gem stone has been set in the Right Metal in
such a way as to allow rays to pass thru' without any
hindrance. Ideally, the setting should be such that the gem
stone touches the skin.
The
Gem stone should always be worn on the Right Finger in
order to derive benefit.
The
Gem stone should be worn on the prescribed Day and Time.
The
Gem stone should be worn after following proper procedure and
rituals, which include washing with holy water, purifying with incense
and reciting appropriate Mantras for it 108 times.
After
Wearing______
Gems should be removed from the body, if
they have been worn for astrological benefit, since they
instantly loose their positive effect, which might have taken
months to accumulate.
The
Gem stone should
not be worn beyond a particular period of time, specially if
it has been worn to counteract
the malefic effects of a planet. Gem stones should never be
worn interminably, and their time frames should be confirmed
from an expert Astrologer, because the planetary positions
keep changing.
