Is it recommended for men to wear gemstones in Islam? Is it true that wearing them is a Sunnah, and that they possess healing properties, bring good fortune, protect from devils, sorcery, the evil eye, and negative planetary influences? Do religion and science support this? If so, which of them is preferred to wear?

We have not found any text indicating that wearing gemstones is a Sunnah for men, or that wearing them during prayer multiplies the reward. Rather, it is permissible. Some scholars disliked it due to its resemblance to women or for being extravagant and boastful. There is no evidence that it possesses healing properties, or that it brings good fortune, or protects from devils, magic, or the evil eye. Astrology is forbidden.
