Nowadays, wearing a gem stones has become quite fashionable. In order to prescribe any gem to any individual his or her birth chart should be thoroughly examined to see which of the malefic planets are in chidra bhavas or are functional malefics ( malefics on account of the lordship of inauspicious house i.e., the 6th, 8th and 12th). If we will prescribe a stone for any of such planets, we will be only strengthening and accelerating their malefic tendencies. Therefore, the stones associated with the planets that are functional malefics for an individual should never be recommended. |
