We are all fond of fashion jewelry, sometimes made by using gemstones. Many of us even wear gemstones for astrological purposes. However, some exciting facts about gemstones are likely to take every single one of us by surprise!

Gemstones, while being distinctively attractive, pleasing to the eyes and magically charismatic resonate with our bodies and are possessed with extraordinary healing powers. They can heal our minds to make it calmer and infuse our everyday existence with peace and joyfulness. Alternately by using gemstones, even our bodies and physical existence can achieve higher levels of comfort. From thousands of years, healing properties of gemstones have been tried, tested, verified and used by sages, practitioners of medicine and a host of people from all walks of life. While these were once confined to royalty and monarchy, gemstones were thereafter used extensively by people to beautify and bring substance to their existence.

A gemstone may be used as a tool for healing by making use of its inherent healing energies and works by activating the underlying healing forces that prevail in our aura. Each distinct gemstone, as an outcome of its color, composition and factors like its transparency or opaqueness focuses the healing powers that exist in our bodies. Corresponding, these can produce therapeutic effects that can be astounding. Gemstones are thus designated as a classification of energy medicine tools owing to their extensive implementations in healing by manifesting their own intrinsic energies upon those of the wearer. With their distinctive and unparalleled properties, gemstones find elaborate applications for purpose of healing and nurturing and have become a subject of extensive research in fields of medicine.

Adorning a gemstone can go a long way in healing a person's mind body and soul and some of the many problems they can help overcome include emotional discord and a host of physical ailments. While gemstones have been used for healing purposes for thousands of years, practitioners have received varying results in terms of outcomes. Just like a medicine needs to be pure to ensure the best curing effects, a gemstone should also be high in quality and purity to fully implement its healing effects and be useful as a therapeutic tool of medicine. Purity of a gem is of a great significance for defining its value and worth and all gemstones are graded before they are used for the purpose of creating rings or pendants. To ensure a high therapeutic value for a gem, it must be free from all defects and must not have any cracks or breakages on the surface or within it. It takes an expert to identify the actual quality of a gemstone and ensure that there are no defects in it, even the kind that may not be visible to the naked eye. Some procedures of ensuring a high quality for gemstone include usage of specialized instruments called refractometers which are used to pass light through a transparent gemstone. This ensures that the light is refracted at the right angle and that the consistency of the gemstone is uniform. Similarly, a gemstone must be pure and free from all contaminants to ensure effective healing as a contaminant could trap or reduce its useful energy.
