Since gemstones have a significant effect on our lives, we have to understand how and why we need to wear them. In addition, one has to know if the gemstone is favourable in our horoscope and if not what one has to do.

Significance of the Moonga stone

Coral is one of the semi-precious gemstones formed as calcareous deposits by coral polyps. It represents Mars, the planet for war. Moonga gemstone as it is otherwise called, is symbolic of blood circulation, vitality, and energy. When the planet Mars is positioned favourably in one’s horoscope, wearing the gemstone boosts the energy of the wearer.

Right method of wearing the moonga stone

The right day to get the stone and wear it is Tuesday. Mantra to recite before wearing the stone is this:
 

AumBhaumBhaumayaNamahAum

Om Sri SaravanabhavayaNamah

You have to recite this mantra 108 times. Burn 5 incense sticks and place before the ring. The ring must be on a red cloth. The stone must be free of faults and discolorations.

Wear the ring on the middle finger of the right hand. Preferably, the moon must be in ascension or the Shukla Paksha. If it is not possible to buy the stone on a Tuesday, buy it on Sunday or Thursday. Never buy the coral moonga on Saturday as this will not be good for you.

This intensely coloured red gemstone removes the malefic effect of Mars. You develop perseverance and courage when you wear the coral stone. Use the stone in a ring made of copper or gold. Discard the ring after three years of use as it loses its efficacy by then.
