There are great confusions prevalent in the world regarding many topics. Existence of ghosts, dead ancestors, and influence of planets on human life and wearing of stones to do away with the fears of ghosts or adverse influence of the planets are some of the topics about which confusion reigns supreme. Of these topics, wearing of stones perhaps has the maximum confusion for it is directly related to increase in fortune.

 

In the present materialistic society, everybody wants to reap maximum profits in minimum labors. Hence people are inspired to wear stones. But at this juncture, their ignorant but logical conscience puts a question: "Is it really fruitful to wear stones?" Most of them then begin to believe that stones and confusions related to them are means of livelihood for the astrologers and jewelers. If everything is possible by wearing a simple stone what is the use of action then, they ask.

 

Gemology is an important part of astrology and it has never been mentioned in it that one, who wants good fortune, should give up his efforts and come to depend upon the fortune entirely. In fact, both fate and action are two sides of the same coin and have their own importance. Neither of them is complete alone. Only working together action and fate can give synergic results. If only action were enough everybody, who works hard eight or ten hours a day, would be a millionaire. In reality, we see that most of the rich people do not work so hard; but they skillfully make the others to work for them. On the other hand, it is also seen that poor people or laborers work very hard from dawn to dusk but could earn their daily bread only with difficulty. Miraculous change is, however seen in the position of such poor people when they consult learned astrologers and begin to wear gem or stones prescribed by them. As soon as they wear stones, their fate takes the lead and raises them to the great heights wealthiest. There are also known incidents when some beggar finds a stone in the path and becomes the lord of many palace-like houses and inaccessible wealth. Often some official who deserves promotion does not get it for many unknown reasons. Then he/she consults a gemologist.

Gemologist prescribes him/her to wear a particular stone and the official makes unprecedented progress since then. Isn't it a miracle? There are scores of incidents to corroborate the miraculous property of gemstones; hence wearing of the stones cannot be rejected as mere superstition. Stones do have a capacity to remove the hurdles caused by faulty positioning of planets in one's horoscope. Negative influence of the gemstones also supports their miraculous properties. Often a rich and well to do person wears just any stone out of curiosity or suggested by an imposter astrologer. Since the very moment such a person wears a stone, his fortune begins to wane. He loses his wealth and lives in a beggar like condition or faces other kinds of problems. Still some people may reject such incidents as mere coincidences. But when the sufferer removes the stone, he begins to regain his fortune. Thus on the basis of these and other related incidents, we can say that wearing of stones is not a superstition only. Besides unless and until you have tested a theory yourself, you should not reject it on the basis of rumors only.
