Cosmic Colors of Precious Gemstones - An Ayurvedic Healing Perspective

Excerpted from article “Vibrational Healing with Gems”

Gems emit different frequencies of color that are not necessarily the colors we perceive with our naked eyes. With the aid of a prism this phenomenon is easily seen. The ruby does emit the red cosmic ray, and the emerald does emit the green cosmic ray, but the other gems emit a cosmic color different from what we would think from their appearance.

Pearls emit the orange band of wavelength. Red coral emits a yellow cosmic ray. Yellow sapphire actually emits a blue cosmic ray (akin to the color of the sky). Diamond emits an indigo blue cosmic ray, and blue sapphire emits the violet band of the color spectrum. The cosmic rays of hessonite and chrysoberyl cats-eye cannot be seen, but hessonite emits the coldest ray of ultraviolet, and chrysoberyl cats-eye emits the infra-red cosmic wavelength. All together these gems together are storehouses of the 7 visible and 2 invisible bands, which together comprise what we see as white light.

Different gems have separate properties
Pearls are cooling and thus used to treat diseases arising from too much heat. It is also effective against high acidity as well as treating emotional fears, bad dreams, excessive anger, or hysteria. The pearl’s energy is anti-allergenic, moist, and harmonizing.
Sapphire energy is cool, soothing, sedative, tranquilizing, analgesic, and antispasmodic.

Rubywill raise the body temperature, increase metabolic rate, circulation and muscle tone. Ruby is very helpful for those with weight problems,or just heavy body types that have slow biological functions. The energy of a ruby is hot, drying, energizing, and expanding
Emeraldenergy is cold, analgesic, unifying, and solidifying. It is to be used against disease caused by an excess of heat in the body.

Diamond energy is invigorating, stimulating and clarifying. It is an antidepressant and antiseptic.

Crystals or Gems?

Often I am asked about using crystals, there being so much propaganda about using them for healing. There is no comparison between using natural precious gems and semi-precious crystals. Quartz crystals have utility to be sure, but they are more transmitters (or amplifiers) of energy from a healer than they are capable of transmitting energy of their own. They absorb energies and therefore may be used in certain prescriptions to reduce fevers, but they must be constantly cleansed and purified to avoid passing the malady to the next user.

Precious gems, on the other hand, have stable properties inherent within them that anyone can utilize. Also note that cut and polished gems give far superior results than gem crystals left unpolished. The more brilliance and fire the gem projects, the more its energies can be used in healing. It should be noted that fake gems or synthetics have no healing pote
ncies whatsoever, regardless of brilliance or fire perceived by the eye.
