Vedic Planets and Their Gemstones
In Jyotish (Vedic astrology), each of the nine planets has its own gemstone. In Jyotish, a gemstone amplifies its planet, so the right one for you depends on your birth chart.

Before you buy a gem or set it permanently, make sure its planet is a good one to strengthen in your chart. Where your planets are placed, how strong or weak they are, your current planetary periods, and your intentions for wearing a gemstone all impact which one you should wear.
In a written gemstone consultation, I look at your whole birth chart: your planetary placements, your current periods, and anything you share about why you want to wear a gemstone. Then I recommend the best gem for you.
Consultations are $108, and that’s credited back with the purchase of any gemstone over $500. I’ll need your exact birth time to load an accurate chart.
