Here is the first fluffy question: What's the best way to clean/wash remedy gems such as yellow sapphire, pearl, etc., etc.? Many thanks and regards.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 ~ Om Namah Shivaya ~ Dear Tina, I prefer the following method. suppose a gem is to be worn on sunday morning. I will wash the gemstone with water on saturday evening and put the gemstone in rose water (immersed) in some glass pot or vessel. Next day, after having bath, will clean the gem by a combination of (ganga jal "water of holy river ganga", some milk (not boiled) and some sugar). In India it is called as kacchi Lassi. Now will wash this gem thrice with this. And after reciting mantra for N repetitions, the gemstone is worn. Hope this might help you.
