Review by Dr. Neeraj Lalwani, M.B.B.S., D.M.R.D., P.G.A

Name of author is already well known in the field of gemology. He is among the few respectable, experienced & senior scholars available in the field of gemology. In this book with best of his knowledge, he has gathered all info regarding the Primary (Navratna) and Secondary (Substitute) gems in an orderly manner. He has dealt with various methods of recommending gems viz Zodiac sign, birth number etc in a lucid manner. In addition, individual gemstones are also dealt with their detailed description. The description part appears the hallmark of the book and filled with rich info about almost all the gems. Usage of various gems in ailments is also described in a ready reckoner manner. In addition, of gems he has given beautiful coverage to impact and usage of Rudraksha on human destiny. The bonus is the tables and annexure, which are very useful tool to provide ready to serve info. However, the book doesn’t deal with ascendant method, which is taken as most authentic method of gem suggestion worldwide by Vedic astrologers. He has left the decision of selecting gem to the reader, who has unfortunately told about many ways of adopting gems in the book and it lead the reader nowhere except the fog of confusion. Say for example, a native born on 1 April has to wear Ruby according to birth number and diamond according to Zodiac sign (Aries). On the other hand, both gems could not be worn as per the author as Diamond is an inimical; gem for Ruby. In such situation, reader has to be confused, whether he should wear Ruby, Diamond, Both, or none? Neither he has given stress to the quality of gems nor he has dealt with various rituals to be done before wearing gems, without which they could be merely stones! However keeping all technical problems aside, the book is neatly produced, informative and enriched by experience of author. Its pricing is an additive attraction hence everybody may keep a reference copy in his scholar shelf specifically for “Theoretical purpose†because the info provide about various gems (Both navratnas and substitute) is incomparable.
