Navaratna is an ancient Sanskrit word, meaning nine gems.

It is the most auspicious and astrologically effective gemstone arrangement of 9 precious gemstones, namely Ruby, Diamond, Blue Sapphire, Yellow Sapphire, Emerald, Red Coral, Pearl, Hessonite and Cat’s Eye. It is believed to be highly beneficial, as it tends to club all the benefits of the 9 gemstones together and lead the wearer towards a happier and prosperous life, full of abundance, health and wealth.

Benefits :

• It is believed to bestow upon its wearer good health, prosperity, happiness, and peace of mind.

• The Navaratna stones must be flawless in terms of color, cut and quality.

• The semi transparent to transparent stones like Diamond, Blue and Yellow sapphire, Hessonite and Ruby must showcase great clarity and brilliance, while having no visible internal inclusions. These stones should also exhibit their respective colors brilliantly and there should be no color zoning.

• Cat’s Eye stone must showcase brilliant chatoyant effect, where only a single line of light capturing inclusions, allows light to pass through the gemstone through only what seems to be a radiant line in the stone.
