How to Wear Gemstones

After you have been prescribed to wear a particular GemStone, then the question arises; What is the proper way to wear a GemStone. Here is the answer to this question. Though the proper procedure to wear a Gemstone is a bit lengthy and I will explain all the steps, but you can skip the last step which includes Mantras if you are not comfortable with it.
As you get your GemStone fixed in a Ring, the first thing you have to keep in mind is that the Ring should have an open base and the Gemstone should slightly come out of it so that it may touch the skin of your finger. This way you can get best results from a Gemstone. And once you get the Ring ready, the next thing to do is to keep it immersed in GangaJal or Holy Water or Unboiled Milk for about 24-48 hours in a small bowl. By doing this we get rid of any type of negative energy which may be present in the Gemstone due to processing, touching with dirty hands and anything else. This Step is called ShudhiKaran or Purification of the Gemstone.
Then in the next step the Gemstone is worn on the day prescribed and the time prescribed. A generally good time for wearing Gemstones is the time just before the Sunrise which is also known as Bramha Muhurata. Take a bath and then Sit or Stand somewhere clean and place the bowl in front of you and Chant 108 Mantras for the planet for which the Gemstone has been prescribed. For example if you have been prescribed a Ruby or Manik, you would be generally advised to wear it on Sunday and the Mantra would be OM SOORYAAY NAMAH which should be Chanted 108 times. Same is the case with other Gemstones. By doing this step we are asking the concerned planet to bless us. This step is called Praan Pratishtha or Establishment of the Gemstone. After this you can wear the Gemstone. Kindly read the article named NavaGraha Mantras for getting the Mantras of all the nine planets or NavaGraha.
If it is difficult for you to chant the Mantras, you may simply go to some temple and ask the priest to get it blessed from the God and wear it then and there. And in case you do not believe in Gods and Mantras, you may simply wear the Gemstone on the prescribed day and at the prescribed time.
Important Note: Though some Astrologers may prescribe some particular Gemstones like Blue Sapphire ( Neelam) to be worn during the night time, I would strongly recommend wearing all the Gemstones during the daytime and the morning time is particularly the best time to wear a gemstone. Because in case a Gemstone causes some Medical Side Effects which usually appear in 20 minutes to 8 hours if there are any, at least you are awake and can remove the Gemstone from your finger. While in case you are sleeping and the Gemstone causes some Medical Side Effect, it may cause much more damage because you are asleep. So I always advise to wear Gemstones in the morning or during the daytime.
Note: Though some Astrologers may prescribe to wear a Gemstone or even a combination of Gemstones in the form of a Pendent around your neck, I would again recommend to wear the Gemstones on the fingers instead of wearing them around the neck. Gemstones give their best results when they transmit energy through nerves which appear on your fingers and also they are constantly touching the same place and same nerve of your body and this way they supply comparatively better transmission of energy to your body in comparison to the Gemstones in the Pendent which may sometime touch your skin and sometime not. Also the exact length of the chain containing the Pendent is debatable and whether or not it touches any nerves at all is again a question. So in my opinion, it is always better to wear Gemstones in the fingers.
