Gemstone: Diamond (Heera) or White Sapphire (Safed Pukhraj) in silver or white gold, worn on the ring finger or middle finger of the right hand on a Friday. Diamond minimum 0.5 carats; White Sapphire 3 to 5 carats.

Charity: Donate white flowers, rice, white sweets, or silver on Fridays. Donate to women in need or to arts programs. Feed cows.

Important Note on Gemstones

Gemstone recommendations in Vedic astrology are highly individualized. A stone for Mercury or Venus is appropriate only when
  1. 1The planet is the lord of an auspicious house for your Lagna
  2. 2The planet is weak and needs strengthening
  3. 3An experienced astrologer has evaluated the full chart

Never wear a gemstone for a planet ruling a dusthana house (6th, 8th, 12th) from your Lagna without careful astrological guidance.

Key takeaway

Never wear a gemstone for a planet ruling a dusthana house (6th, 8th, 12th) from your Lagna without careful astrological guidance.
