According to ancient Vedic authority, natural gemstones transmit and resonate astral or piezoelectric powers (like radio crystals transform sound vibrations)! Fine, flawless gems promote good fortune, while poor quality gems havethe opposite affect . The power of gems emanates from the nine planets (nava-graha ) recognized by the ancient, "Sidereal" science of astrology.
The nine planets and their associated gems are Ruby for the Sun, Pearl for the Moon, Yellow sapphire for Jupiter, Hessonite for Rahu (the ascending node of the Moon), Emerald for Mercury, Diamond for Venus, Cat's eye for Ketu (the descending node of the Moon), Blue sapphire for Saturn, and Coral for Mars . These "planets" influence different aspects of life and, as luminous bodies, also radiate specific cosmic colors. According to ancient belief the colors radiated by the nine planets are identical to the cosmic colors of the different gemstones. Sometimes the cosmic colors are obvious while in other casesthis is not so. Thus red is the cosmic color of rubies, while orange is the cosmic color of pearls.
Gems strengthen planetary powers and will boost their specific influences in three ways. The first way is by adding "cosmic color" to one's own aura. The second way iby "astrologically" enhancing their associated area of one's life. For instance, Moon (pearl) influences mind and emotions while Venus (diamond) rules art and sex. The third way isby attracting the attention of their ruling planetary deities, the Sun-god,Moon god,Mars,Jupiter, etc.
The single biggest obstacle to the worldwide, modern day practice of "Planetarygemology" is widespread acceptance of the so-called birth stone system from theWest. . It is no secret that thislist of birth stones was created by the American National Retail Jewelers' Associationin 1912. The origin of this system is attributed to the early Hebrew civilization and has nothing whatsoever to do with any system of astrology. Furthermore, birth stones cannot be based on a list of months because birth signs change on or about the 22nd of each month. Thus two different signs rule each month according to the date of one's birth.
The color hue of each gem will almost always fit into one of the 4 social-economic- intellectual categories (varnas ). Everyone is advised to use the color that best suits their needs.
It our hope and belief that this ancient knowlege of planetary gemology we are presenting will soon become and important part of popular world culture and will be remembered and practiced for at least 1000 years in to the forture
