Most people like either to wear gems (mostly but not exclusively females) or to see them on others. But beside of their look they have a special character. This is what we call their healing, psychic or even disturbing capacities. If you follow healers, gems are not only precious and can be seen as jewelry, but they have also impressive side effects. Interested? Then read on.

There are said to be two strong kinds of gems. The projective ones are supposed to destroy disease, strengthen consciousness, courage, increase strength, physical energy, and help for luck, and success. It’s good to use eg ruby, diamond and topaz for this purpose. Other ones, the so-called receptive stones, help calming, soothing, meditating and encourage wisdom and peace. Some examples for that are aquamarine, emerald, lapis lazuli and sapphire.

Some gems corresponding with your chakras
You know the chakras? Yes? Otherwise may we will look at them another time.

1st chakra: red/black: ruby, garnet, onyx.
2nd chakra: orange: carnelian, coral
3rd chakra: yellow: amber, topaz, citrine
4th chakra: green: emerald,
5th chakra: blue: turquoise, aquamarine, lapis,
6th chakra: purple: amethyst
7th chakra: clear: diamond

The mentioned stones are the ones described here, but they are not all. For example quartz is an all-round stone. It can be substituted for any gem and has very strong healing energies.

How should this kind of gem be worn? Well always a part of the surface should touch the skin and an other part should be exposed to the atmosphere. The gem may be studded in a ring, in a way that the lower surface touches the skin and the upper side is open, to attract the radiation from the atmosphere. Women and girls may wear the stone as a pendant so that the lower surface touches the skin and the upper surface is open.

Any semiprecious stone should be initially worn for a three-day test period. If its beneficial effect is evident, it may be worn permanently. If during the trial period you feel some untoward or adverse effect, it should be discarded at once, and another piece tried in a similar manner after a few days.
The blue sapphire and the cat's eye are very potent, both for their beneficial effect and their adverse influence and, therefore should be worn only after a period of trial.
The pearl, on the other hand, does not need a trial run. It always has a beneficial effect. The coral, emerald, ruby, diamond, and yellow sapphire are generally beneficial, but it is still recommended that they be worn permanently only after a trial.

But suppose you try to wear a blue sapphire and find, that instead of a happy event or good news during the trial, you receive perturbing news or agitating and disturbing developments take place. This would imply, that the particular piece of blue sapphire does not suit you. You should, therefore, return it to the jeweler immediately, without waiting for the three-day trial period to be over this does not, however, mean that a blue sapphire does not suit you. It only means that that particular piece of blue sapphire does not suit you. You should, therefore, try another piece of blue sapphire after a few days.
