SELECTION OF NAVARATHNA STONES

The Nine precious Gems called Navaratnas consist of: Diamonds, Ruby, Emerald, Blue Sapphire, Yellow Sapphire, Cats Eye, Hessonite, Pearl, and Coral. These are made of essentially Carbon, Silica, Aluminum and Chromium with various other elements like beryllium and other trace elements. These are the elements that are abundant on Earth and are also found in the Human body in various proportions. Hindu Vedic Astrology suggests that by wearing a certain gem stone that is defined by one’s birth star, the wearer is protected and is connected to the governing Navagraha (Planet) or the deity under which the same gem is placed. Thus, people can choose a given stone based on their star and place them under any specific deity that is being consecrated and installed in a temple. By doing this and, if possible, by wearing this same gem, the devotee is said to establish a direct contact with the deity.
