Diamonds

DIAMAND: The one who wears a diamond lives in luxury and naturally so, since
the stone is expensive. A diamond must be given as a token of love or
friendship; its power is lost if the stone is bought by the wearer. It is a
widespread belief that a diamond can determine guilt or innocence and that
it would glow if the accused was innocent. The best diamonds are colourless,
but coloured diamonds, termed 'fancy' can be green blue black and other
colours.

They drive away evil spirits, ensure marital bliss and attract wealth. The
stone encourages fierceness, strength and fortitude, strengthens friendship
and protects from evil, disease and plagues. Symbolic if innocence, justice,
faith and strength, the diamond makes its wearers courageous and victorious
ove enemies. It also builds strong bones and protects the mother and baby
during childbirth. Set in gold or platinum it prevents nightmares. A six
sided stone bring balance and harmony, while triangular stones augur
disharmony and friction. Ideally a diamond should weight 2.5 to 1 carat. It
should be worn on the first finger of right hand and when Venus is in Taurus
or Pisces, or on Friday. However those born on 1,3,9,10,12,18,19,27 and 28th
of the month should avoid this stone.
