If you’re interested in learning more about these mystical stones that have been a part of Indian culture for centuries, you’ve come to the right place. Gemstones in India are believed to bring good luck and healing properties, and each stone has its own unique meanings and purposes.
Ruby – For the Passionate Gemstone Lovers:
Are you looking to ignite your inner fire and spice up your love life? Look no further than the stunning red gemstone known as ruby. It’s associated with passion, love, and desire, and is one of the most popular gemstones in India. Not only does it enhance sensuality and increase energy levels, but it looks amazing in gold jewellery. That’s why the ruby gemstone is often referred to as the “king of gemstones.”
Emerald – For those Seeking Lucky Gemstones :
For those seeking luck and prosperity, an emerald is the green gemstone you need. One of the most popular gemstones in India, it’s believed to bring good fortune and is often called the “stone of successful love.” Not only that but it’s also said to have calming properties. This makes it perfect for those dealing with anxiety or stress. Emeralds are often worn by politicians and businessmen for their believed ability to bring success and financial stability.
Sapphire – If Wisdom is What You Seek in Gemstones in India:
If you’re looking to enhance your wisdom, insight, and spiritual awareness, sapphire is the blue gemstone for you. It’s believed to help develop intuition and bring clarity to the mind, as well as ward off negative energy with its protective properties. That’s why sapphire is often worn in gemstone jewellery by those in positions of power, as it’s believed to enhance leadership skills and decision-making abilities.
Topaz – For Those Looking for Confidence Boosting Gemstones in India:
Need a boost of confidence and positivity in your life? Look no further than the yellow or orange gemstone known as topaz. It’s associated with enhancing creativity, joy, and self-esteem. It also has protective properties to ward off negative energy. This makes it ideal for performers and artists who want to enhance their creative abilities and achieve success in their field.
Amethyst – The Stress Reliever:
For those seeking relaxation and stress relief, the purple gemstone known as amethyst is a must-have. It’s associated with enhancing intuition and bringing peace of mind. It also has healing properties to help with physical and emotional pain. That’s why amethyst is often worn by those who practice meditation or yoga, as it’s believed to enhance their spiritual practice and deepen their connection with the universe. It’s also my gemstone of choice and most of my gemstone jewellery is amethyst.

Gem stones are powerful but you need to select it carefully for getting good benefits. I had heard and read a lot amethyst and it was great to know more about it with your post. thanks for sharing this valuable info with us.
I am really a novice in chasing the perfect gemstones. I have never used gem stones but when my friends ask for suggestions. But, I will recommend this post of yours to them and help them know how this works actually. I heard of emerald stone and here told its for seeking luck. learnt something new from you.
Amazing information on gemstones. I have zero knowledge of them. Thanks to you now. I know about Ruby, Sapphire and topaz. Personally, I like only diamonds and I know anything about them either.
That’s a nice guide. However, I think blue sapphire suits few people and can be worn only after testing it.
Gemstones are not just pretty to look at but also hold a very special meaning. As per your stars and situation you can choose to wear a gemstone to enhance your position. I was recommended to wear Ruby and for quite a while I used to wear one in a gold ring.
Your post is really informative. I knew about the properties of emeralds and rubies but not about amethyst. But I have never tried wearing them for the benefits.
I knew that each gemstone has a particular significance, but what I didn’t know and the little I knew, I’d forgotten over the years. Thank you for this informative post Meetali. When i read stuff like this, i feel I dont know anything at all n there is so much to learn.
Btw, I have seen some people wear all of these stones n more all the time… not even a single finger is empty… I guess they want everything in life… hahaha.
Great info on gemstones. I wear mostly all of these stones but didn’t know their significance. Thank you for enlightening me. It will be nice if you post some info on Moonstone as it is supposedly my birthstone.
Meetali I must say the post is as much precious like those gem stones. My mom has too much knowledge about gem stones, she use to tell me which one belongs for what and how does it benefit us. You definitely brought back my child hood memories.
Thank you for this post. While I knew the properties of some, Topaz and Amethyst were new to me.

That was an interesting read knowing about gem stones. Emerald is what I should wear may be.
haha…..perfect article to read after passing by a shop selling gems yesterday and my hubby commenting, who buys those?!? haha… Not knowing much about gems but knowing a lot of people collecting them for different reasons, I can’t explain to him that much. Well, you know what our topic before bedtime would be tonight=)
I had been advised emarald during childhood for increasing concentration and memory. My mom used to load me up with gemstones. You name it, I had it on my fingers. And now, I have taken all of them out and wear only diamonds.
I am not very fond of gold and stone jewellery. Prefer silver and costume jewellery. I had rings of Ruby and Aquamarine as they were supposed to be lucky for me. I gave up wearing them after some years though. But I liked reading your post….very informative.
Your post was quite informative. I have seen emeralds work for a few people. There is apparently a whole science behind it with usage and all. I haven’t tried them though.
What an interesting post! Sapphires can be unlucky though so it’s said one should sleep with it under their pillow at night before actually buying it. If you have nightmares, it means it’s not right for you.
