Gemstones have healing powers and in astrology, gemstones are prescribed for remedial measures. Sometimes a particular planet in the chart is weak and due to this, the person experiences problems. The corresponding gemstone is then prescribed and beneficial effects are observed.

The gemstones have different colours and lustre. Sun is the source of all energy, and also affects human beings. If we observe the sunlight through a prism in a laboratory, we get a seven-colour spectrum. The other invisible two colours are infrared and ultraviolet. Thus the spectrum of nine colours is understood to be the cosmic matrix and is the very essence of nine planets. The nine planets are associated with these colours and the stones prescribed are also in consonance. It is important to note that the wavelength of coloured light emanating from the nine planets is believed to match those radiating from each planet's corresponding gemstone. Thus, prescribing gemstones is not out of synchronous with this energy system. A particular stone absorbs all kinds of solar and cosmic energy and allows a particular type of energy to pass through it and which is then absorbed by the body.  This restores their balance in him, and he finds improvement in terms of physical, emotional or holistic manner.
