Birth stones Birthstones originated in Jerusalem, where 12 gems decorating the castle wall were divided into the 12 months. However, due to racial and regional differences, birthstones have changed from country to country. In the 18th century, 12 major categories were created, including the Jewish, Roman, Arabian, Hindu, Polish, and Russian categories. Later, in the 20th century, the original local birthstones were further divided into an American and European system. We have listed three popular categories of birthstones. Why Birth Stones? Astral Gems are used to control the body imbalance caused by the Cosmic radiations of which the body is composed of. The Gems are to be carefully selected as they effect the human body through their measured radiations. Gems have medicinal use also; their vibrations are continuously absorbed in the body. The exact determination of correct gems is very difficult. Actually, one should be a permanent one and other for the malefic planet toward off evils. |
