The proper stone can bestow fantastic benefits. There should also be a strong meditation by the wearer of the results desired before beginning its use. Even in children, where the parents are the ones devoting all the mental energy, we have seen dramatic improvements. The use of pearls with young children has been shown to be effective in helping to calm hyperactivity. It seems to make them think with more clarity. The practice of indiscriminate placing of gems on the body, especially this new age practice of gem crystals all over the body, is dangerous.

Improper use of gemstones can short-circuit magnetic fields of the subtle body and can result in severe physical debility in some cases. The medical and astrological uses validate each other.

Gems have great power to harmonize planetary influences.
