Precious Stones & Their Astrological Effects

The modern day categorization of the gemstones is criticized by most of the gemmologists and mineralogists. The reason for this criticism resides in the base of the categorization.  The main basis of this categorization depends upon the cost of these gems. Hence, as per this categorization, there are 4 precious stones and all the rest are considered semi precious. The category of precious gems includes Diamond, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire. But, what makes this categorization incorrect is the fact that there are a number of semi precious gems that cost more than the precious ones.

The precious stones and their astrological effects are:

Diamond: The hardest material and mineral known to the humans, Diamond is considered indestructible and a metaphor for beauty. With a perfect score of 10 out of 10 on the Moh’s scale, this gemstone gets such hardness from Carbon, with which it is completely composed of. The beauty of this precious stone is treasured worldwide and why it won’t be? Diamond is ruled by the planet of beauty, the Venus. The wearers of this stone receive abundance of wealth and luxuries. Symbolizing love and purity, this stone brings happiness, love and satisfaction in the wearer’s life. Also, Diamond is known for strengthening the nervous system and brain functioning.

Emerald: Portraying the nature in its truest sense, Emerald is a green colored precious stone. Known for its brilliant looks and included beauty, this gemstone is treasured worldwide for its unique properties. Though the precious stones prices depend upon the value, but the properties of Emerald are worth praising and considering it a precious stone. This stone helps in reviving the lost spark of love and attract the lover back towards oneself. Enhancing confidence and self-esteem, Emerald diminishes the inferiority complex.

Ruby: The beauty of this stone is cherished when its color matches the color of blood. Indeed, this red marvel of nature, Ruby reflects the fire and fury of the Sun perfectly. In simple words, Ruby is a red colored Sapphire by properties. The loose precious gemstones mined from Myanmar are considered to be the best and known by the name of “Pigeon’s Blood Rubies”. Ruled by the mighty Sun, this precious gemstone brings out the valour of the wearer. Providing with the strength and fury, this gemstone makes its wearer brave, confident and dependable. Ruby has a unique property to relieve and calm the hyperactive people.

Sapphire: Found in almost every color of the rainbow, Sapphire is the highest selling colored gemstone. Though all the colors it is found in are equally mesmerizing, the blue and yellow colored Sapphires are considered to be more beneficial and are prized globally. The Blue Sapphire acts as a protective stone, protecting the wearer from the wrath of Shani Dev. Also, this gem helps in focusing the mind and releasing unwanted thoughts and tensions. The Yellow Sapphire is beneficial in providing the wearer with an ability to take better decisions and helps in reasoning.
