Correct procedure for wearing gems
Before explaining the effects and significations of precious stones or metals, we wish to briefly explain the correct procedure to be followed in wearing precious stones.
The precious stone or the gem is usually studded in a ring or other ornament. No matter where and how the precious stone is used it should be remembered that part of its surface should touch the skin and another of it exposed to the atmosphere. The upper part of the stone should be open to attract the radiation from the atmosphere and the lower part should touch the skin so that the radiation could pass into the body.
Free from any blemish
If a jewel, gem, or a stone is to give its full beneficial effect, it should be free from any defect, a spot, a crack or any other blemish.The gem should be genuine, not cultured or artificial.
