Why these stones suit Libra
Opal — Dur-e-Kohsar
Opal is hydrated silica with a hardness of 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale, white, crystal or black body with a play of colour in every hue. In astrology it is linked with Venus (Shukra) and recommended for Libra (October birthstone). It is worn on the index or ring finger of the right hand, set in silver or white gold, first worn on a Friday. Price is set by the brightness and pattern of the play of colour, body tone (black opal is rarest), transparency, size and whether it is solid, doublet or triplet.
Blue Sapphire (Neelam) — Neelam
Blue Sapphire is corundum (aluminium oxide) with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, light cornflower blue to deep royal blue. In astrology it is linked with Saturn (Shani) and recommended for Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra (September birthstone). It is worn on the middle finger of the right hand, set in silver or white gold, first worn on a Saturday evening. Price is set by colour and tone (medium-deep velvety blue is most valued), clarity, origin (Ceylon and Kashmir carry a premium), carat weight and treatment.

Does the gemstone have to be natural to work?
In every traditional system, yes: only a natural, untreated (or at most heated) stone is considered effective. Glass, synthetic and heavily treated stones are not used, which is why every GemStore.pk listing states the treatment and offers a lab report.
