Well, if Elizabeth Taylor and the Queen of England do it, then it must be good for you, or so says Niranjan Mehta of Ninegemstones.com, who claims that you can improve your health if you wear gemstones. Both the Queen and Ms. Taylor wear their birthstones. Of course, Niranjan suggests that you have to wear the " right" gemstones in order to receive health benefits: " The nine recommended are ruby, pearl, coral, blue sapphire, yellow sapphire, diamond, emerald, hessonite, and cat's eye."

Now, though I love stone related mythology, I can't even imagine how wearing any type of stone could be bad for you, but he does list a lot of my personal favorites. What about you? Do you wear any of these gemstones on a regular basis?
