Astrological testing of Gemstones

The gemstones are tested before being worn by a native to find out whether it is suitable for the native or not. There are various techniques described on the basis of folklore or tradition for testing of gems. These are used by many astrologers even today very frequently. Most of these techniques are rudimentary in nature. The most widely used method is to keep the prescribed stone wrapped in a piece of cloth and kept under the pillow for 7 days. The colour of the cloth varies with the type of stone. If the native does not experience any bad dream or he experiences good dreams, then he is asked to wear it permanently.

Another system used is that the stone is wrapped in the cloth and worn on the upper arm (bicep). If nothing untoward happens, or good things happen, then they are asked to continue the use. Similarly some other techniques are practiced by astrologers in various parts based on local traditions.

Both these practices have no scientific basis at all. In all these techniques, the stones are covered with cloth; hence the sun energy cannot be transmitted. Moreover, the stones take their own time to affect the native. Keeping it near the pillow or on the arm for few days cannot be used as a method to decide the efficacy of a gemstone. It is only very rare that the stone is very powerful for a particular native depending on the dasa running and the position of various planets in the horoscope and gives the effect instantly.

The best way out is that the stone should be tested by actually wearing it. If the ill effects are experienced, then the astrologer should be consulted. If the astrologer is competent, then he will already know these effects. He actually has to balance between the negative and the positive effects of a stone in such a way that the positive things outweigh and native is benefited. Sometimes, the negative effects of a stone can be counter weighed by using another stone in combination as per the horoscope indications and the dasa and antardasas effects. This gives rise to combination stones.
