There are substitute gemstones such as Yellow Topaz instead of Yellow Sapphire but only these core 9 gemstones give strong results. Substitutes will only deliver 40% results. Please donot choose to wear any of these gemstones based on your birth month or your sun sign. A Vedic astrological patrika (chart) needs to be constructed by an expert Vedic astrologer to determine which gemstones will yield favorable results and which ones will cause tremendous harm. There is some more basic information that I want to share with you so that you are not fooled. These gemstones must be set in different metals and worn on different fingers.

Gemstone- Finger- Metal in which the stone is set
Ruby- Ring- Gold or Copper
Pearl- Little finger- Silver
Red Coral- Ring- Gold or Copper
Emerald- Little finger- Gold
Yellow Sapphire- Index finger- Gold
Diamond- Middle finger- Gold or Silver
Blue Sapphire- Middle finger- Iron
Hessionite- Middle finger- Aluminium
Cat's Eye- Middle finger- Alloy

Lots of astrologers prescribe Gold or Silver as the default metal for these Gemstones to be set in. This is wrong. Only Yellow Sapphire and Emerald should always be set in Gold. The stones have inherent energies within them that activate different centers in the mind. Each stone has a particular metal which accurately binds with the stones' energy. For Ruby, Red Coral, and Diamond the Vedic astrology chart needs to be constructed to determine which metal to use.
Now I want to tell you what gifts each stone offers:

Ruby- Increases self-confidence, ego and leadership ability. Ruby increases heat in the body.
Pearl- Pacifies the emotions. Person remains calm even in chaos.
Red Coral- Gives drive to accomplish goals against all odds. Also increases heat in the body.
Emerald- Refines the intellect. Reduces stoubborness, anxiety, and depression.
Yellow Sapphire- Gives wisdom and helps in meditation. Soothes the soul.
Diamond- Gives sex appeal and increases the ability to attract material wealth.
Blue Sapphire- Gives detachment and cools the body. Helps you connect with your inner self.
Hessionite- Speeds up the intellect. Gives ability to absorb vast amounts of information in a short time.
Cat's Eye- Tremendously aids in attaining moksha (liberation). This stone drastically increases body temperature.

The size of the gemstone can only be determined by an expert astrologer. Readers should know that larger sized gemstones are not better than smaller gemstones.

Diamond dealers always use 4 C's to determine the price of the stone. Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat. Buyers should know the most important is Clarity. For any stone, Don't compromise on the Clarity.

That should give you a basic idea. For concerns just hit the call button to speak with me.
