The power of gemstones is exhibited by the cosmic colors that they possess. The working of the entire cosmic system is fueled by the light of the sun, whose highly powered rays super-charge the gemstones by passing through them. These rays filter through the gems and make them discharge a copious amount of cosmic color, which can be used to vitalize the chakra centers. Used as a ring, a bracelet or a pendant, a gemstone in contact with the skin lets the cosmic rays pass through your body. Through chakras, the gems affect the mind and the entire body. They can help awaken our awareness of the psychological, spiritual, and emotional aspects of ourselves. Mostly, they are polished with good cuts to enhance the reflection of light from them. What makes a gemstone distinct, fascinating, and exotic are the colors, quality, and different types. The popular gemstones with their main properties for wearing are as below:
