Navaratna and astrology gemstones
In Vedic astrology each planet has a gemstone, worn on a particular finger, on a particular day and in a suitable metal. A well-chosen stone is traditionally used to strengthen a planet that is weak in your birth chart; a wrong one can do the opposite, which is why we recommend checking your chart first. Each stone listed here shows its planet, carat range, finger, best day, metal, origin and certificate, so you can compare them clearly.
