  For all remedial gemstones, be sure to cleanse the stone energetically with extreme attention to proper mantra.

  Flawless gems are expensive and hard to find. Use only a trusted Vedic-trained gemologist. It might be easiest to start with single gem and combine them as your finances allow.

  According to Dr. G.S. Kapoor (1994, p 91)

  • " It is very important for all gem stones that before wearing them they should be kept immersed for sometime in unboiled milk or Ganges water.

  • Afterwards the stones should be worshipped with flowers and incense, and the Mantras of the planets should be recited 108 times."
