ZuluMyths & Facts
Gemmology: A Myth or Science??
Gemmology is considered as geoscience and classified under mineralogy.
Few jewellers are academically skilled gemmologists and are trained to classify and evaluate various gemstones. Although there is no theory regarding the subsequent impact of the gemstones on the wearer, however, there are certain factors that help in improving an individual’s life if worn with faith and belief.
According to science, planets in our solar system continuously emit positive as well as negative magnetic vibes or energies. Additionally, Vedic astrology explains how these vibrations influence our lives for good or bad. It also claims that the stones and plants on earth can help us to face these changes.
The science: Planets radiate their energy waves and influence through colour. The astrological pull of gemstones originates from the cosmic influences of their associated ruling planets. The sunlight, through a prism, splits into a seven-colour spectrum, however, the spectrum also includes infra and ultraviolet, the other two invisible colours. These 9 colours are associated with 9 planets and each of 9 planets emits certain radiations that impact human beings; as per their positions at the time of birth. Some planets have a strong influence on our lives, while others have a weak influence.
In a nutshell, gemstones are a way of transferring positive energies of pure natural colours to our body, which balance out the negative energies.
As per Vedic science, there are seven planets (grahas): Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Additionally, there are two more shadow planets (chaayaa grahas): Rahu and Ketu.
