What is Gemology? Science Behind Gemstones by Dr. Sheelaa M Bajaj
Gemology is the scientific study of natural and artificial gemstone materials. A natural gemstone is a mineral, stone, or organic matter that can be cut and polished or otherwise treated for use as jewelry. A precious gemstone has beauty, durability, and rarity, whereas a semiprecious gemstone has only one or two of these qualities.
A gem is a gemstone that has been cut and polished. Diamond, corundum (ruby and sapphire), beryl (emerald and aquamarine), topaz, and opal are generally classed as precious stones, and all other gemstones are categorized as semiprecious. Gemstones occur in most major geological environments and are further categorized into mineral and organic gemstones. Mineral gemstones are more durable than organic gemstones.
Gems are the storehouse of plenty of energy that helps human beings overcome various hurdles that they face in their everyday life. Gemstone recommendations are generally provided in two forms: one by month, commonly known as Birthstones, and the other by horoscope (Kundali).

Gemology According to Planets
The Science of gemstone astrology is based on the fact that cosmic forces of planets rule the human body and life. The cosmic arrangement of our birth chart defines how much help we will get from fortune in the course of our lives. Our birth chart and the position of planets make our physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and even karmic self, and are the key deciding factors of the gemstone one should wear.
The birth chart is made up of some genuine dominant planets and some that are actually weak. Hence, gemstone suggestions are given to enhance a particular weak planet, thereby removing the malefic effect.
Gem recommendations are done on the basis of the positioning of the nine planets, their chakras, and the placement of the ascendant and trine on the birth chart of a person. Dr. Sheelaa M Bajaj thoroughly evaluates the position of each planet at the time of a person’s birth and provides gemstone predictions by date of birth.
There are nine gemstones in correspondence with nine planets, and each of them carries special characteristics to offer to the ascendants of their respective planets. It is always advisable to wear the gemstone by consulting an astrologer and following all necessary rituals to achieve maximum benefit. As each gemstone corresponds to a respective planet, one can wear multiple gemstones by verifying the compatibility, as wearing the wrong gemstones will yield awful results.
Gemstones are prized not only for their exotic color and physical properties, but they are highly acknowledged for their persisting astrological powers. Each gemstone has its own lifespan, and, generally, it has positive power for 3 to 4 years.
