About the Navaratna Gemstone Reference
The classical Navaratna (nine gems) reference table — which gemstone is traditionally associated with each of the 9 Grahas (planets) in Vedic astrology.
- Scroll the reference table — no inputs needed.
- Find a planet to see its traditional gemstone and associated color.
- Read the note below on why this tool deliberately doesn't recommend a gem for you personally.
Saturn's traditional gemstone is Blue Sapphire (Neelam) — also notably the same gemstone many astrologers advise trialing cautiously first, since it's considered one of the fastest-acting and most unpredictable in effect.
| Planet | Gemstone | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Sun (Surya) | Ruby (Manikya) | Red |
| Moon (Chandra) | Pearl (Moti) | White |
| Mars (Mangala) | Red Coral (Moonga) | Red/Orange |
| Mercury (Budha) | Emerald (Panna) | Green |
| Jupiter (Guru) | Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) | Yellow |
| Venus (Shukra) | Diamond (Heera) | Colorless/White |
| Saturn (Shani) | Blue Sapphire (Neelam) | Blue |
| Rahu | Hessonite (Gomed) | Honey/Brown |
| Ketu | Cat's Eye (Lehsunia) | Chatoyant grey/yellow |
Deliberately built as a reference table only, not a personalized recommendation tool. Real, unresolved scholarly disagreement exists on the correct basis for choosing which gem an individual should wear (by Moon sign, by Ascendant, or by the weakest/most afflicted planet in a full chart) — presenting one automated answer would misrepresent a genuinely contested question as settled.
