The Astral Gemstones
One Ratti = 120 mg

One Carat = 200 mg
Natural Gemstones are found in the womb of the earth. Since time immemorial,
Gemstones have been the valuable possessions of the rich and the kings. There are
many kinds of Gemstones found in nature. Some of them are precious stones, because
of their rarity and subsequently their value. The others were categorized as the
semi-precious stones, because of their ample availability and subsequently their
price. Each of these stones have their own quality and property, by way of colour,
luster, clarity, and appearance.
Here, I shall only describe the astrological Gemstones, their qualities,
properties, appearance and merits. The value of these Gemstones will vary from
country to country, and it is generally difficult to fix a price for a particular
Gemstone, specially the precious ones. However, there is a general yardstick by
which all the Gemstones are assessed and evaluated. They are the four C's. Namely
Colour, Cutting, Clarity, and Carat. A stone may generally be of some colour,
but the depth of the colour would make a difference. For example, an Amethyst is
generally of a violet colour, but from some different mines, it may be of a deep
violet or purple colour. Then the cutting makes a difference. A Gemstone sparkles
and reflects it's own light because of it's cutting. The cutting is called facets.
These facets reflect the colours. Greater the facets, greater the reflection.
Clarity means transparency. All Gemstones have some inherent inclusions and spots.
Again, greater the clarity, higher the value. Lastly, the weight. All Gemstones
are measured in Carat weight. Therefore, bigger the Gemstone, bigger the bill!
The quality of gems are graded on the basis of four qualities, known as the "four
C's." They are1. Color
2. Clarity
3. Cut
4. Carat (size)
The foremost things to understand by gems are that they are graded on the basis of
their rarity. What is best for a native may not be the top or rarest grade of a
gem. Hence the term "quality" does not necessarily mean that one gem is better
than another.
There are plenty of varieties found in a mineral deposit. So one of the first
things to notice is the size variation. Conversely, simply being larger does not
mean that it is better. For Purpose of astrological gems the most important
criteria are as follows:
Let us learn more about the 4 Cs
Color
Colors are described by three factors:
Hue- (red, green, blue, etc.)
Saturation- (strong or pastel, red or pink.)
Tone- (light to dark.)
Usually, stones with high values possess pure hues and strong rich colors. With
high value gems, subtle variations make a significant difference in price. It is
not possible for a layman to see the difference, but to the expert grader it is
important. On moderate priced gems, color has less affect on value. It is the
other factors of size; clarity and cutting that determine the gem's value.
The best example can be taken of diamond whereas the color is concerned. Diamonds
are evaluated on how close they are to being colorless. There are three grades of
colorless that only vary by subtle differences in transparency. Then there are
four grades of white. It takes an expert in laboratory surroundings to
differentiate between these grades, excluding each represents a change in value.
Clarity
Gemstones contain a wide variety of inclusion, like little bits of minerals,
hollow areas, or fractures. An inclusion is defined as anything that will hamper
with the free passage of light.
Tiny color differences have a significant affect on value. Again the best examples
of this are diamonds. There are several rankings where the inclusions are
invisible to the naked eye and have no affect on the beauty of the stone. Yet the
difference in value is significant because something that is very difficult for an
expert to find with 10-power magnification and something that is easy to find with
enlargement hold enough importance.
Most colored stones are simply graded as "eye clean," slightly, moderately, or
heavily included. Gems with eye visible inclusions are always lower in value,
but the change is not applied equally. The clarity of certain gems cannot be
compared with other gems. If you want a certain gem without any eye visible
inclusions, you are restricted to go for small stones. Similarly if you want a
larger gem then you will have to accept a certain amount of inclusions and get its
value through it color. But fractures and cracks are not at all permitted in
astrological gems.
Cut
The cut of a gemstone is also one of the most important factors in its appearance.
It is also one of the most complicated factors for the amateurs to judge due to
the number of disparities involved.
Usually some gems are cut in free form but most are planned to be cut in a
symmetrical shape. Primarily it should be proportioned in all directions. It is
for the wearer to decide that what will be the effect of the shape over the
appreciation of the stone.
A gem should be always inspected with magnification. The areas of light reflection
should be smooth and mirror like. If it is a faceted gem, look at the part
junctions also. A well-cut stone will be crisp and collaborate on a single point.
The individual facets sometimes also affect the brilliance of the gem.
A fair idea of the cutting quality of a gem can be acquired by comparing it with
other gems, but within similar stones. A topaz will never have the brilliance of
an amethyst and dark stones will not be as bright as light colored ones. A cutting
can have great effect on the two different gems; one might have much more
brilliance and sparkle than the other on because of expert cutting.
Carat
Here a simple rule is followed; larger stones are less common than small ones.
Hence, they demand
a superior price per carat. For example a half-carat gem will be of half of the
rate than that of
a full carat gem. The choice of the correct size can be subjective. Large gem
mirrors are more
suitable for daring and energetic individual, whereas, small stones are suitable
for natives with
subtle and understated flavor.Smaller stones have a significant advantage over
pricing and budget
. The reason is that volume goes up faster than the outside dimensions.Small gems
are often
clustered to give the illusion of more gemstone. But for astrological purpose a
single diamond is
necessary and not clusters of small diamonds making up the weight.

Clarity Scale
IF
Extra Fine Quality. These gems have microscopic inclusions which are difficult to
slightly difficult to see under a loupe with 10X magnification.
VVS1
Extra Fine Quality. Small pin-pricks are just visible to the scrutiny of the
close nake eye. However, the beauty of the gem is not diminished in anyway
VVS2
Very Fine Quality. Small pin-pricks are just visible to the scrutiny of the close
nake eye. However, the beauty of the gem is not diminished in anyway
VS1
Good Quality. Small pin-pricks and feathers are just visible to the scrutiny of
the close nake eye. However, the overall beauty of the gem is still not diminished
VS2
Good Quality. These gems have inclusions which are fairly easy to see to the
close naked eye. However the overall beauty of the gem is still high.
SI1-2
Good to the medium qualities. Included gems with internal features that range
from eye visible to easily seen to the naked eye.

Dr. Prem Kumar Sharma
Throughout the ages, gemstones have been seen as representations of wealth and
power. Symbols of supremacy like crowns and richly decorated clothes and robes
have traditionally been adorned with jewels. But gemstones are not just for the
wealthy or scientifically-minded researcher, the common man can also to enjoy the
beauty of these gems. The gemstones appeal initially due to their mysterious
nature, lustre and colour. This makes them exquisite but their rarity, hardness
and durability makes them very valuable.
Gemstones are minerals. Out of a total of more than 2500 different minerals, only
about 60 odd are commonly used as gemstones. Other minerals are unsuitable as gems
because they are too soft and get scratched easily.
What are gemstones: For a mineral (or occasionally an organic mineral) to be

called a gemstone, it must be beautiful in its appearance and colour. A gemstone
has to be durable i. e. it should be hard enough to survive constant use and
handling, without getting scratched or damaged. Finally, it must be rare, because
its scarcity makes it valuable. Read On!

Science of gemmology: Gems are scientifically fascinating too. Gemologists make a
complete study of each stone, both as it is found in the rocks and after it has
been cut and polished. That is why during the formal study of gemology, both
aspects are given due importance. This it easy to distinguish between two similar
looking stones. Read On!

the names are not given on the basis of the astrological consultations by people
and the prescription of a gemstone. Read On!
Types of Gemstones
Organic Gemstones: Organic gemstones have their origin either from plants or from
animals. Like natural Pearls form around foreign bodies that have made their way
inside the shells of marine or freshwater shellfish. Cultured pearls are produced
artificially in large fisheries, many in the shallow waters off the seashores.
Shells, which are regarded as gems, may come from animals as diverse as snails and
turtles, living in the ocean, in fresh water or on land. Coral is made up of the
skeletons of tiny marine animals called Coral Polyps. Bone or Ivory from the teeth
or tusks of mammals, may come from recently living animals or from fossils
thousands of years old. Amber is fossilized tree resin, collected from soft
sediments or the sea. Jet is fossilized wood, found in some sedimentary rocks.
Synthetic Gemstones: Synthetic gemstones are made in laboratories or factories,
not in rocks. They virtually have the same chemical composition and crystal
structure as natural gemstones and consequently their optical and physical
properties are very similar. However, they can usually be identified by the
difference in the inclusions in them. Many types of gems have been synthesized but
only a few are produced commercially, generally for scientific or industrial use.
Because of the way the synthetic gems are made, they show subtle differences in
shape and colour that help to distinguish them from their natural counterparts.
Similarly, the synthetic gems have inclusions, which are different from the
natural inclusions. The experts can identify them and distinguish.

Effects of gemstones
That gemstones work for the betterment of ones life is a known fact. But many
people do not believe in their effects. These days people, especially the younger
generation, looks for scientific links between the gems and their effects. All
astrological reasoning fails to impress many people to accept the benefits of the
gemstones.
There are laws in pure science which have not been proved but are accepted as
their effects are observed by us day in and day out and they are called laws
conversely also as they have not been proved otherwise. The simplest example being
Law of Gravitation. It is a law because it is observed daily by us and also it has
not been proved through experiment to be not true.
Similarly the effects of the gemstones are observed by those who use them under
proper prescription. Since the effects are very individual in nature, they are not
in the scrutiny of public and people do not believe in their beneficial values.
The gemstones have different colours and luster. Sun being the source of all
energy, also affects human beings. If we observe the sunlight through prism in a
laboratory, we get seven-colour spectrum. The other invisible two colours are
infra red and ultra violet. Thus the spectrum of nine colours is understood to be
the cosmic matrix and is very essence of nine planets. The nine planets are
associated with these colours and the stones prescribed are also in consonance. It
is important to note that the wavelength of coloured light emanating from the nine
planets is believed to match those radiating from each planets corresponding
gemstone. Thus prescribing gemstones is not out of synchronous with this energy
system. A particular stone absorbs all kind of solar and cosmic energy and allows
a particular type of energy to pass through it and which the body then absorbs. If
prescribed properly, this actually helps the individual. This restores the balance
in him and he finds the self-improving.
Moreover, the effects of gemstones have been proved conversely also. If a person
is prescribed a wrong gemstone, it has been observed to adversely affect him as
long as he wears it and the effect goes away once the stone is removed. Thus the
efficacy of gemstones do not require laboratory experiments just the way some of
the pure science laws do not require experiment in their support.
Prescription on the basis of 'Janma Rashi' or the 'Moon sign'

In this system of prescription the gemstone is prescribed on the basis of the
zodiacal sign in which Moon was posited at the time of birth. This system can lead
to prescription of appropriate stone many times but wearers, who have worn stones
prescribed this way, have many times received adverse results. The basic flaw in
the system is that it does not take care of the position of other planets in the
zodiacal ecliptic and also loses sight of many other astrological factors. The
table below gives the results of the first method. The Indian names for the
planets and the stones have also been given for convenience of the readers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------The Vedic View on Gems
Varha Mihir, the famous astrolager of ancient India, who flourished in the 1st
century BC, has devoted a full chapter to gems and precious stones in his
monumental work Brihat Samhita. He has given detailed characteristics of diamonds,
blue sapphires,emeralds, and other gems. He has also explained how different gems
are associated with different deities, and has prescribed the colour of gem
suitable for each caste.
According to the Vedic system, there are nine basic gems: (i) ruby; (ii) pearlreal, not cultured; (iii) coral; (iv) emerald; (v) yellow sapphire called Pukharaj
in India; (vi) diamond; (vii) blue sapphire (viii) Gomed (Sanskrit name)- it is
like a garnet in appearance but different from it; (ix) Cat's eye.

Gemstones
As my last post was about Mr Bachchan and his blue sapphire stones, I thought I
will write something about gemstones and their importance in Astrology.
Based on the planetary positions in an astral chart, i.e. janma kundali, a planet
is believed to bring to focus :
a particular behavioral trait
signify the effects of the planets running period
Gemstones are prescribed to either strengthen or balance the energies of these
planets in question, i.e. strengthen weak planets so that they do create some good
effect, or further strengthen already strong planets, such that their effect is
more pronounced. As an example, someone may want to strengthen Mercury to cure any
speech impediment or skin inflammation, as a weak Mercury is known to cause these
ailments. A person may want to strengthen Saturn if it is a Raj Yoga causing
planet, in that case, in Saturns dasha or bhukti, the results given by Saturn
multiply. Surely all good and bad effects multiply at the same time, there is a
need for balance.
How do people wear these stones? These stones have to be of specific weight (in
carats, or in ratti). They are worn either in gold or in silver in appropriate
finger, during Shukla Paksha, when the planet is in own/friendly sign, on the
planets day of the week, in the morning before 7:00 AM and after chanting the
ruling gods name 108 times. Needless to say, these gems should be flawless as
much as possible and should be of good quality.
Name Stone Weight
Wear in
Sun Ruby (Maanik) 2 Carats Gold, in ring finger
Moon Pearl (Moti) 2 Carats Silver, in ring finger
Mars Red Coral (Munga) 3 Carats Gold (pref. 18 carat) or Silver, in ring finger
Mercury Emerald (Panna) 1.5 carats Gold, in ring or little finger
Jupiter Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) 2 carats Gold, in index finger
Venus Diamond (Heera) 1 carat Gold or silver in middle finger
Saturn Blue Sapphire (Neelam) 2 carats Gold, in middle finger
Rahu Garnet(Gomed) 3 carats Gold or Silver, in middle finger
Ketu Cats eye (Lahsuniya) 3 carats Gold, in middle finger
When deciding which finger the gem should be worn on, astrologers always consult
the planetary friendship table. Mercury is a natural friend of Sun, therefore you
can wear Emerald in the ring finger, which belongs to Sun.
A Diamond is not for everyone! Firstly, you should always consult an astrologer
before you decide to wear a diamond. Secondly, it should not be worn on the ring
finger as all of us are made to believe by the cool and jazzy television
commercials. It is a natural friend of Saturn, therefore it should be worn only on
the middle finger. It is not a natural friend of Sun and hence ring finger is not
the place for it.
Are there any alternatives to wearing these gemstones? Yes, there are:
There are cheaper alternatives available in the market. e.g. you can replace
Pukhraj with Yellow Zircon for Jupiter. Clear Zircon can be substituted for a
diamond etc.
You can choose to worship the ruling deity e.g. to strenghten Mercury, you could
worship Lord Vishnu.
You can also adjust the lifestyle accordingly. e.g. if you do not prefer to wear a
stone for Saturn, you could wear dull colours, e.g. brown, black, gray etc. Change
the life style to bring in more discipline, meditation, etc.
To tell you the truth, I always believe that changes in lifestyle, along with
worship/meditation always work better than wearing gemstones. Oh, you know what, I
dont have time for the morning pooja, can I wear a stone instead? It is like
taking shortcuts, not always advisable
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subject: 6/4/1955 which finger of which hand gomed/rahu ring to wear
Response from: rathindra bharati,
Council Member on Ammas.comWear gomed in middle finger of right hand with five
allow, for sugetion
gem we need birth details, it is rathier than better to wear Gomed al
one(with no any other stone).
Response from: Sakshi Sharma,
Council Member on Ammas.com
Dear
Gomed stone can be worn in the middle finger or in the little finger and in case
you are male then wear it in the right hand side and female wear it in the left
hand side. I cannot tell you about wearing it with pearl or coral without
verifying from your horoscope, as you have not supplied complete birth details.
Gomed should be worn in the form of a silver ring on the middle finger on a
Saturday after washing it with unboiled milk and gangajal after reciting the rahu
mantras. The mantra for Rahu is
"Aum ram ravahe namah". This should be repeated 18 times at the time of wearing
the Gomedh. The maximum effects of wearing Gomedh are derived upto 3 years from
the date of wearing it.
Gomedh- gemstone for Rahu
The gem stone of Rahu is Hessonite. This stone is also referred to as Gomedh,
Gomedhak, Raju ratna and Ping Spatik. All the ill effects of Rahu in Horoscope
can be remedied by wearing Gomed. The name 'Gomedh' is a sanskrit word which means
'of the color of the cow urine'. Wearing Gomed gives one mental peace and freedom
from worries. It is also said to avoid problems due to snakes and false
allegations.Gomed is obtained by mining. In India Gomedh is available in Kashmir,
Shimla, Kulu,Bihar, Orissa and Mysore. It is also available in Srilanka, Burma and

----------------------------------------------------------------------GEMOLOGY
ABOUT GEMS:- The Gems are classified as precious and semi-precious stones based on
their cost. Gemstones are minerals with definite crystalline structures and
chemical compositions. They are composed of atoms of energy. Each & every gem has
its own chemical configuration, refractive index and physical properties. It is
like a filter prism. It filters a specific ray according to its chemical and
physical property. The specific wavelength absorbed by the gem stimulates our body
cells. The right gem helps to ward off the evil effects and acts as a protective
talisman. Gems are classified into two categories, cold and hot. Pearl, blue
sapphire and topaz are referred to as cold gems, while ruby, diamond, cat's eye
and red coral are known as hot gems. How Gemology works: - Gems generate
constructive vibrations in the body. This helps counter the negative malefic
powers released by the planets. When a specific gem is worn, it emits positive
energy and provides a protective aura for the wearer. Duration: - Every gem has a
specific life span. After this period, one should change the gem as it loses its
impact for that particular individual. Nevertheless, the same gem will be
effective for another person. Wearing of gems: -Gems should be worn after a proper
selection. One should wear gems based on the planetary positions in the
individual's horoscope. A trial period should be incorporated before any gem is
worn. The proper purification and activation of a gemstone makes it effective.
Gems should be worn after a pooja is performed in order to ward off negative
planetary influences. It takes several months before the positive vibrations are
activated, but the moment it is removed, the beneficial effect is instantly lost.
Note:- Gems should be cleaned with salt-water at least once in a month to take
good result.

prescribe any gem to any individual his or her birth chart should be
thoroughly examined to see which of the malefic planets are in chidra
bhavas or are functional malefics ( malefics on account of the lordship
of inauspicious house i.e.,the 6th, 8th and 12th).If we will prescribe
a stone for any of such planets, we will be only strengthening and
accelerating their malefic tendencies. Therefore, the stones associated
with the planets that are functional malefics for an individual should
never be recommended.
----------------------------------------------------------------------Yellow Sapphire, Sapphire birth stone
Jupiter rules the Pukhraj or Yellow Sapphire. It is of yellow color and whatever
class it belongs to, it is used for getting the benevolent blessings of Jupiter.
An unblemished yellow sapphire (often-called Topaz, a substitute semi-precious
stone) gives the wearer, good health, wisdom, property, longevity, name, honors
and fame. The wearer is blessed with children. It gives protection from evil
spirits. It is believed that if there are obstructions in getting a suitable match
for a girl, she gets married early by wearing a yellow Sapphire. Blemished
gemstones are the cause of many troubles. A stone with cracks invites threats or
theft. One without luster and transparency creates enemies and causes disharmony
in the family. A milky stone invites injuries to the body. The one with a web
causes stomach disorders. The one with red dots on it destroys wealth. The stone
with a depression causes anxiety and disturbs peace of mind.
Who Should Wear A Yellow Sapphire?

Yellow Sapphire is the gemstone ruled by Jupiter. There is some difference of
opinion whether the Sapphire assigned to Jupiter is the white Sapphire or the
yellow Sapphire.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Go with what you feel first. In my opinion.
Different websites will give you different stones; have yet to find many who
agree.
If you want money or peace , go for the green stones : emerald, green jasper,
peridot, jade etc.
Citrine is a good stone for money ( you are a Taurus !) and calmness.
If you want some zest : go for "red" stones : ruby (courage), coral etc.
Tiger' eyes is good for ambition.
Amber smoothes and is supposed to bring good luck in general.
Clear crystal quartz is lucky.
Rose quartz for love.
Hematite/sodalite for feeling grounded.
Turquoise for intuition.
Amethyst is generally very good for healing.
etc etc...there are website over there describing the qualities of stones ( I do
not have time to write more now)
But first : feel the stone and do not pick one you just do "not" like. And purify
it first in salt water ( careful of the stone though..depends on its hardness) or
in the sun to get rid of negative vibrations brought on by other people.
It is said that the stones "choose" you instead of the reverse....dunno about that
much but food for thought..
Be careful of "fake" stones though...
@ sarah below : you are quite a connoisseur. !
I took your test also.........accurate ! my favorite stone is topaz :-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------Gemstones and jewelry have been sacred and meaningful to mankind since its
beginning. Even early cavemen picked up interesting stones and wore them as
ornaments. There is something that these precious stones provide us with and for
that reason we are intensely attracted to them.
Most gemstones are very old (sometimes millions or billions of years old), and
have endured some kind of miraculous traumatic force of nature that was necessary
to create them. For this reason, they are very powerful and when we wear them, we
can be near that power. Learning more about gemstone symbology and meanings can
enhance our lives.
Most gemstones are crystaline structures. Crystals are mysterious and beautiful
things: naturally formed geometric bodies with interesting optical properties.
Each kind of crystal is a bit different in structure and composition. These
differences make them unique both in how they appear and in how humans can use
their energies.
Here are some general ways in which human beings have traditionally used gemstones
symbology in their lives:
Birthstones
Many cultures throughout history have associated particular gemstones with certain
months of the calendar. In the modern western world, we have adopted a belief
that the stone that correlates with the month of our birth is symbolic or
meaningful in our lives. People often seek jewelry made of this stone to wear for
this reason.
Month Modern Birthstone

January garnet
February amethyst
March aquamarine
April diamond
May emerald
June pearl , moonstone
July ruby
August peridot
September sapphire
October opal , tourmaline
November topaz , citrine
December turquoise , blue topaz, zircon
In India, the tradition is even stronger and more complex. An astrological chart
or reading is usually done to a person either when they are a baby or at some

Since ancient times, gems and precious stones have been associated with the zodiac
signs and continue to be credited with possessing power to bring luck and change
the course of an individual's life. A gem is like a filter prism and it filters a
specific ray according to its chemical and physical property. The specific
wavelength absorbed by the gem stimulates our body cells and affects us at a very
subtle level.
In the ayurveda the integrated tre atment of ailments by mani(gemstones), mantra
and Aushadhi( herbal medicine)- gems play a very important role. Gems and herbs
are used to balance the planetary influences and it is more or less likely to open
up to the power of intelligence behind the universe. The birth chart is not the
only way to see the planetary forces in our lives. A good astrologer can recognize
planetary influences just by looking at a person or talking to them.
Gems and colours affect us at a very subtle level . The seven vital colours of the
spectrum constitute the human body and deficiency of any colour vibration creates
physical, mental and psychological imbalances. Gemstones are said to be colour
vibrations in their purest forms and are highly sensitive radioactive crystals and
are are perfect for filtering out the particular rays. They pick up the cosmic
rays and transmit it to the body as a result of which it functions well,

EMERALD GEMSTONE
Emerald derives it's glorious green color from the presence of chromium and
vanadium. Emeralds are rarely flawless, therefore stones are often enhanced by
oiling them to hide the imperfects. As well, the step cut (or emerald cut) is used
to maximize the stone.
Ancient mythology teaches us that the emerald was associated with the Mercury, who
was known to be the messengers of the gods, and of travel. It thus makes perfect
sense that the emerald is commonly referred to as the Travelers Protection Stone.
A lesser known "odd" fact of the emerald is that when subjected to heat, it will
actually sweat or expel water. Ancient writings speak of this extraordinary
phenomenon.
Mystical Properties:
Emerald is a stone of love and romance. It brings and enhances joy, cleansing,
clairvoyance, memory, and faith. It also benefits intuition and communication, and
promotes truthfulness. Emerald is associated with the heart chakra.
The emerald is the sacred stone of the goddess Venus. It was thought to preserve
love. The emerald has long been the symbol of hope. It is considered by many to be
the stone of prophecy. For some the emerald acts as a tranquilizer for a troubled
mind. The emerald is said to bring the wearer reason and wisdom. The strongest
time for the powers of the emerald is said to be spring.
Lucky for love, give your lover an emerald to stay faithful.
In several cultures the emerald was the symbol for fertilizing rain. In the
Christian faith it is the symbol of faith and hope.

the stones were used for ornaments in early Egypt where some of the first emeralds
were mined.

Good emeralds are the most highly valued of gem stones. India, Zimbabwe, and

Emerald is known as a tonic for the body as it aids in alignment of all the
bodies. Extremely balancing for anyone seeking the truth. Emeralds are said to
ward of negativity and to strengthen spiritual insight, and when used as a scrying
stone can also foretell the future.
If you would like to bring love into your life, purchase an emerald, charge it
with your magical need through visualization, perhaps by using a green candle as
well. After the ritual wear or carry the stone somewhere near your heart, but do
it in such a way that it can not be seen by others.
Emeralds have been used in spells and rituals for business to promote sales and
increase public awareness of the firm. For best results for any magic use, as told
and recorded by old magicians, the emerald is best set in silver or copper. An
emerald set in a sterling silver ring, for one example is definitely an eye
catching piece of jewelry, but the stone married with the metal will also help
sensitize the wearer to intuitive ideas and psychic aid, particularly in the field
of creative arts.
