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.

How to use it
  1. Scroll the reference table — no inputs needed.
  2. Find a planet to see its traditional gemstone and associated color.
  3. Read the note below on why this tool deliberately doesn't recommend a gem for you personally.
Formula
A fixed, standardized classical correspondence: Sun-Ruby, Moon-Pearl, Mars-Red Coral, Mercury-Emerald, Jupiter-Yellow Sapphire, Venus-Diamond, Saturn-Blue Sapphire, Rahu-Hessonite, Ketu-Cat's Eye. Cross-checked against astrosage.com before shipping — matched exactly.
Worked example

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.

Interpreting your result

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.
