Origin of Gems from the Book Gems and Rudraksha by Anil Gupta

 

Agnimile Purohitam Yajnasya Devam Ritvijam Hotaram Ratna Dhatamam

Rig Veda I.I.I.

 

The words Ratna Dhatamam has occurred in the first Richa of the first

Mandal of the Rig Veda. It clarifies that Agni as Fire is the origin

or the bearer of Ratna. Even the modern scientists affirm the fact

that Ratnas or Gems are formed by the effect of heat and high

pressure. Being buried in the Earth for millions of years Gems

contain gravitational force and energy of the Earth. Gems that are

found in certain parts of the Earth belong to the same planets that

have mostly affected that tract of land. The Earth conceives Ratnas

with the help of different planets. That is why the Earth is called

Ratna Garbha or the Conceiver of Gems

 

The whole process of Evolution is a constant interplay of the eternal

pair of oppposites the Sun and the Moon, the Fire and the Water. The

Vedic concept of Hiranyagarbha the Golden Embryo on the Eternal Water

clearly indicates the formation of the phenomenal world by the two

Fire and Water representing male and female principles

 

Fire somehow seems to be the beginning of the world of names and

forms. It flowed in the form of lava carrying with it all the

minerals and the elemental force of nature which later developed into

organic matter through the process of condensation. The condensation

and crystallization of minerals produced colourful rocky crystals

known as Gems

 

All Gems with the exception of Coral and Pearls are the purest and

finest consolidation of minerals that were formed due to extreme heat

and pressure inside the plates of the molten Earth. All Gems are

therefore the sources of energy in crystalline form. They are highly

sensitive and radioactive. They absorb and transmit energy as

frequencies and they emit electrical charges. They also radiate in

low heat and glow in the presence of ultraviolet light in darkness

after the light source is removed

 

The Five Fundamental Elements of the Cosmos are also the same in the

human body. If balanced in proportion they keep the body healthy

throught the Sun Rays. The same elements are found in the Gems

 

There is

 

Fire Element in Ruby and Coral

Water Element in Pearl and Diamond

Earth Element in Emerald

Sky Element in Yellow Saphire

Air Element in Blue Saphire

 

Ancient Scriptures from across the world have approaised gems as

powerful agents of energy that influence human fate and destiny,

induce good energy and expell the negative energy that causes sickness

 

Gems can bring Peace, Prosperity and Happiness to the wearer makeing

life Comfortable and Prosperous. Gems as storehouses of Divine Energy

are used for carving objects of Worship, Idols, Rosaries, Talismans,

Yantras, Amulets, Pendulums and so forth. They were also used for

Mandalas and pots used for offering the Holy Water or keeping the

offerings for Consecration. Lingams and Yantras in Pyramid shape are

made of Sphatic Crystal. We believe the Yantras carved on Sphatik

Crystal and rosaries made of predcious Gems or Rudraksha give Siddhi

( power to achieve the desired goal ) quicker than a rosary made of

other beads

 

Gems are worn from ancient times to pacify the Nine Planets

 

Ruby for Sun

Pearl for Moon

Red Coral for Mars

Emerald for Mercury

Yellow Saphire for Jupiter

Diamond for Venus

Blue Saphire for Saturn

Hessonite or Gomed for Rahu

Cats Eye for Ketu

 

The wearing of Gems after proper Astrological consideration of ones

Vedic Birth Chart can save mental imbalance, physical suffering and

finandial obstacles. In this way Gems Serve as our Armor and Body

Guard
