🔮 Choosing Your Gemstone Purpose

Gemstones serve both astrological and jewellery purposes. But this section deals with gemstones for astrological purposes only. If you are not sure which gemstone suits you best, please consult Mrs. Madahvi Sharma before ordering a gemstone. Each gemstone has its unique quality, and only some gemstones are suitable for a person, ensuring energetic compatibility with your planetary profile.

🎯 How to Select Your Gemstone

Decide Your Weight

- Carat
- Choose weight based on astrological guidance only.
Pick a Shape
- Popular options are given with each gemstone you are selecting.
Define Your Budget
- Gemstone prices vary widely by origin, color, clarity, cut, carat, and uniqueness.
- The displayed gemstones represent the best value within your range; you can select the most suitable one for you.
Assess Inclusions
- Natural inclusions are common.
- Stones with visible cracks or low transparency are not ideal for astrology.
- Opt for stones with minimal visible inclusions and good luminosity for spiritual benefit.

⚠️ What to Avoid

Synthetic or Treated Stones: Avoid artificially enhanced gemstones (heated, dyed, glass-filled) — especially for astrological purposes.
Second-Hand Stones: Pre-used stones, even if repolished, may carry residual energies and aren't recommended for astrology.
Unverified Sellers: Always source from certified, reputable vendors who disclose treatment history.

MS astrology offers untreated, 100% natural gemstones, each accompanied by a certificate verified by independent laboratories.

🪔 How to Wear Your Gemstone

Choose a metal aligned with the planet.
Ensure the gemstone is activated and energised with rituals based on your birth details. You can order from MSAstrology, and they will take care of it for you.

💎 What Are Semi-Precious Gemstones?

Semi-precious gemstones are natural minerals that are cut and polished for use in jewellery and astrology. Unlike “precious” stones (diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald), they are generally more abundant and affordable—but equally rich in beauty and symbolic value.

📌 Common Semi-Precious Gemstones

Amethyst – Purple quartz known for promoting calm and balance
Citrine – Golden yellow stone associated with positivity and abundance
Topaz – Found in many colors; linked to clarity and emotional strength
Peridot – Green gem believed to ward off negativity
Garnet – Deep red stone symbolising commitment and vitality
Turquoise – Blue-green stone used for protection and spiritual balance
Moonstone – Milky white gem with a soft glow; popular in celestial and feminine designs
Aquamarine – Pale blue stone representing serenity and communication

🎯 Uses of Semi-Precious Gemstones
