Navratan is a Sanskrit word that is formed of two words, Nav and Ratan. Nav means nine, while Ratan or Ratna means gemstones. Astrologically, there are nine gemstones, which, as per ancient and traditional texts, are the most powerful. The energies of these gems are the highest and most impactful.
Each of the Nine Navratans is connected with a particular planet, one of the Navgrahs. Navgrahs are nine planets that govern our life. The position of the planet at the time of our birth fixes our destiny and affects our lives. Since each planet affects a different aspect of our lives, when a particular planet is in a negative position or shifts to an unfavourable position, then wearing these gems is the solution. The gem removes the adverse effects of that significant planet and brings its blessings.
The Navratans are Ruby, Emerald, Blue Sapphire, Yellow Sapphire, Hessonite, Pearl, Red Coral, Diamond and Cats Eye.
These nine gemstones are culturally the most precious and valuable ones. Their worth is because of their significance in astrology but also cause of their rarity and beauty.
