Gemstones are normally worn as a remedy to negative planetary influences in the human body. When the gemstones are worn as astrological remedy, the stone should touch the body with the bottom of the gem stone setting open. If worn as a remedy the stones have to be continuously worn on the specific part of the body for prescribed periods.One can select Gemstones for wearing in several ways.

Normally gems are worn

• On the basis of Name
• On the basis of Birth Month
• On the basis of Color
• On the basis of Problems
• On the basis of Gemstones Characteristics
• On the basis of Zodiac Sign
• On the basis of Horoscope
• On the basis of Numerology
• On the basis of Palmistry

One of the ways of selecting gemstones for wearing is Numerology. When selecting the Gemstones based on Numerology again there are three ways of selection.

• Based on Birth Month
• Based on Birth Date
• Based on Name Number

In Numerology all Alphabets have a value are given a value from one to eight. The sum of all the alphabets in the name reduced to a single number should be calculated to find your gemstone based on name.

A, I, J, Y,Q - 1

B, R, K - 2

C, S, L, G - 3

D, T, M - 4

E, H,N,X - 5

U, V,W - 6

O,Z -7

F, P - 8

If I need to find by number it would be as follows :-

ANAMIKA S = 1+5+1+4+1+2+1+3 = 18 = 9
