Wearing of Gemstones are Halal or Haram

Q:

Wearing of Gemstones are Hala or Haraam/ Shirk please give some authentic hadith or reference?

A:

Walaykum-ul-Salam

On the contrary – Gemstones are recommended to wear.

You can find a multitude of narrations to this effect, including the names of recommended stones such as agate, to wear it on the right hand, to start with the right hand little finger, then the one next to it… then the left hand little finger then the one next to it, their benefits and more in authentic narrations including here (Arabic): authentic narrations for wearing gemstones

Stones include agate, turquoise, dur al najaf, hematite, ruby etc.
