Since the ancient times precious and semi-precious gemstones were believed to have extraordinary enhancing and healing powers affecting mind, body and spirit and even influencing our fate and the course of our lives! In ancient India, a number of Sanskrit texts on gems have been written.

"Graha-Gocara Jyotisha", the "Garuda Purana", the "Brahat Samhita", the "Agni Purana" are the texts dealing with planetary gemmology.

Varieties

The precious stones are diamond; some forms of corundum (ruby, sapphire); and emerald.

The chief semiprecious stones are aquamarine, amethyst, topaz, garnet, tourmaline, spinel, peridot, zircon, chrysoberyl, quartz, opal, turquoise, moonstone, and jade.

The organic gems are pearl, amber and coral.

The unit of weight used for gemstones is the metric carat; one carat equals 200 mg.

The qualities sought in gems are beauty, rarity, and durability. The beauty of a gem depends primarily on its optical properties, which impart its lustre, fire, and color; the durability depends on hardness and resistance to cleavage or fracture.

Wealth, Creativity, Success, Marriage, Love and Compassion.
