How to Wear
Activate the stone with milk, Gangajal and a Moon mantra recitation, set in Silver on the little finger, and first wear on Monday evening. Minimum stone weight should be 2 to 3 ratti (1 ratti is approximately 180 mg) for the gem to be energetically active. Always purchase from a trusted source — synthetic and lab-grown stones are not effective.
Do's and Don'ts
- Always confirm with a verified astrologer before wearing — a wrong stone amplifies harm.
- Keep the stone clean. Recharge in moonlight or Gangajal monthly.
- Avoid wearing during periods of intense grief or after a death in the family — pause for 13 days.
- Do not share gemstones with others; energy gets imprinted to the wearer.
- If you experience adverse effects within the first 30 days, remove and consult an astrologer.
