Gems have curative power. They have elemental power to pour in
fortune, too, by driving away evil impact of planets. Some of them have magical
powers to heal, to make life happier by gearing up prosperity, status,
knowledge, good health and name and fame.
Westerners believe that amber (a
yellowish translucent fossilized resin gotten from dead trees and used in
jewellery cures rheumatism. For them jewels have been made of the tear drops of
a Greek god. Germans make their infants wear garlands of ambers around their
necks. In Greece they believe that if they drink in cups made of amethyst, it
does not make them intoxicated. Romans used chains made of Coral pieces to
nullify evil effects of planets. In Greece woman wear Blue Sapphires to avoid
impure things entering their minds.
All one has to do it chose the correct gem and wear it at the
appropriate time after completing necessary rituals.
Sun-rays have seven colours which influence human life in many ways. There is
close relationship between colour and light. The living beings in the world and
others take up their colours from the seven colours of the Sun. The planets are
also seven in number; so are the days in a week and also the prominent gems from
which are precious stones.
For example ultra-violet rays of the Sun do harm human body. If a person
wears a piece of Ruby on his/her person, the Ruby would keep those rays off from
the human body and thus the human arteries and veins would function normally.
Like sun, planets also send rays which affect human life on earth. Gem and
jewels have been worn from ancient times, not only for make-up or to display
wealth but also as a means to cure ailments.
The ancient Ayurvedacharyas used
gems in the form of ashes and powder to treat human beings. Likewise,
astrologers have been taking into account the powers of gems. Varahamihira, the
great astrologer of his time, has recognized the miraculous affect of gems and
jewels. It is mentioned in ancient books that if one wears a favourable gem, he
reaps benefits. But if an unfavourable gem is worn, it brings in bad days.
