The nine Navratna stones

Navratna means nine gems. The system pairs each of the nine grahas of Vedic astrology with one gemstone, from Manikya for the Sun through to Lehsunia for Ketu. Worn together in a single setting, the nine are meant to cover the whole chart. Worn singly, each is chosen for one planet.

We are gemstone dealers, not astrologers. Which stone you should wear, at what weight, is a question for the person who reads your chart. What follows is the part we can answer: what each stone actually is, what its certificate should tell you, and where the substitutions and treatments hide.
