Gemstones: Myths, Facts and How to Choose Safely

A gemstone is prescribed for a planet that is weak or well-placed in your chart, never by Sun sign alone. Any recommendation should come with a reason you can follow.

Buy only stones with an independent lab certificate listing origin, carat weight and treatments. Heated or dyed stones should be disclosed.

Powerful stones like blue sapphire are usually worn on trial for three days first. If you feel uneasy or have bad dreams, remove it and speak to your astrologer.
