Which Gemstone for Which Planet? A Chart-Based Guide

Gemstones are among the best-known Vedic remedies — and the most misused. Worn on hearsay, the wrong stone can do more harm than good; chosen from the chart, the right one can quietly strengthen a planet.

The traditional associations

• Sun — ruby (manik)
• Moon — pearl (moti)
• Mars — red coral (moonga)
• Mercury — emerald (panna)
• Jupiter — yellow sapphire (pukhraj)
• Venus — diamond (heera)
• Saturn — blue sapphire (neelam)
• Rahu — hessonite (gomed); Ketu — cat's eye (lehsunia)

Why the list is only a starting point

Whether a planet should be strengthened at all depends on its role in your chart — a benefic for one ascendant can be unhelpful for another. Blue sapphire in particular is powerful and should never be worn casually.

A gemstone is a prescription, not an accessory.
