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.

Sun

Generally, Ruby stone is seen in dark red color and sometimes in light pink also. This gemstone suggestion is given to those whose birth chart shows the sun is not good. Ruby stone will help to cure diseases related to the bones, stomach, gallbladder, and eyes.

Moon

According to gemstone astrology, the pearl gemstone helps to overcome depression, thereby diverting the mind towards positivity. Mainly, the weak moon in the horoscope proves inauspicious for students as it diverts the mind from studies, leading to poor performance in academics. Wearing pearl stones will help in increasing concentration, thus achieving favorable results.

Mars

Red coral stone stores the positive energy emitted by planet Mars within it and facilitates curing some common diseases such as indigestion, fever, smallpox, acidity, etc. Italian corals are the most accurate gemstone recommendations for achieving the best results.

Mercury

Emerald has excellent therapeutic powers and hence helps to enhance blood circulation and control diseases like asthma, diarrhoea, ulcers, and mumbling. It helps in controlling insomnia, thereby increasing positivity. It is also treated as a favorable stone for students since it increases their memory power and confidence level. Zambian and Colombian emeralds yield good results.

Jupiter

Saturn

Blue Sapphire is an expensive gemstone connected to planet Saturn and considered the most effective and fast-acting gemstone. One has to be very careful while wearing this, as it will not suit all. This gem recommendation will help you achieve good wealth, luck, opportunities, and career growth. It is believed that the blue sapphire of Ceylon will give the finest results.

Venus

Venus is the nearest planet to the Earth and signifies spirituality, truth, self-respect, courage, love, and ethics. The elegant diamond is recommended for planet Venus. It is being said that wearing a defective diamond will have a negative impact on the individual, thereby inviting new troubles.

Rahu

Also known as the shadow planet, it plays a very important role in one’s life, and it is mainly responsible for delays in the work we execute. Rahu signifies the north node of the moon and the lower half of the snake. Wearing Hessonite/gomed helps to speed up work, shield from evils, thereby increasing an individual’s energy.

Ketu

This planet represents the south node of the moon and the upper half of the snake. It signifies Spirituality, peace of mind, wealth, happiness, and prosperity. The Cat Eye Stone is recommended for those who have the wrong placement of Ketu in their birth chart. This stone will significantly protect from scandal and help to get a good reputation.

How Personalized Gemstone Recommendations Are Done in Gemology

With reference to gemology, a personalized recommendation is based on a blend of astrology, planetary calculations, and gemstone expertise. Each recommendation is not generalized but tailored to an individual’s birth details and life goals. Guided by Dr. Sheelaa M. Bajaj, this process ensures correctness, authenticity, and meaningful aims.

Birth Chart Analysis

By employing the person’s date, time, and place of birth, a meticulously detailed chart is created. Health, career, and human relations are very clear. The gemstone prediction by date of birth can ease the influence of planets. That lays the basis for personalized gemstone choice. 

Planetary Strength

Each planet in the birth chart is checked for strength, weakness, or hurt. After the Lagna and Rashi, the Moon is the most Important planet. Accurate gemstone prediction helps distinguish which planetary energies need enhancement or harmony. This ensures that gemstones are prescribed only in the right places.

Dasha Periods

The dasha phase shows which planet is in the current or next voice of life. Even a well-positioned planet can sometimes cause problems in its dasha. With current and upcoming dashas analyzed, the gem recommendations are timed for maximum effect. This ensures the gemstone supports both present and future life transitions.

Gemstone Quality and Certification

In order to have a successful life with the right gemstone, one must be sure that it is of good quality. Origin, clarity, cut, weight, status of treatment, etc., all these are very important factors. But as long as you have a trusted expert, you can be sure that only natural gemstones, which have been certified and are of the best quality, can be recommended to you online. Authentic certifications are also what confirm astrological effectiveness and lasting value.
