Gemstones in Islam
As narrated by Hazrat Anas,
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had a silver gemstone ring and its stone was Abyssinian
gem. (Muslim, Libas, 61). Some scholars said the stone was cornelian. As its
mine was in Abyssinia, it was named so.

iron oxide. Yellow or red jasper may also be present. It is found in china,
Brazil, India, Australia and US.

hemorrhaging. Worn on the arm by a pregnant woman, bloodstone will help prevent
miscarriage.
Worn on the

Wearing Gemstones is sunnah Nabvi (PBUH)
It is Sunnah to wear the ring with the gemstone turned outward to the back of the hand (zhahir al-kaff) since that is how Ibn `Abbas said the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) wore it, and how Ibn `Abbas himself wore it, – on the smallest finger of his right hand – as narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi in their Sunan, and the latter said al-Bukhari told him it was a “hasan sahih” hadith.
