Vedic gemstones are precious and semi-precious natural gemstones from the Earth. They are used to enhance and support planetary energies within our lives and are prescribed based on our individual birth charts. Vedic gemstones are referred to as Ratnas and they are one of the primary remedies or ‘upayas’ in Vedic Astrology.
They are used to elevate our overall wellbeing and support us on our journey, so that we can live fully and do all that we want in this life.
Each gemstone holds the potency and vibration of its corresponding planet. They have the ability to infuse the wearer with those qualities. To wear a Vedic gemstone is to enhance the presence of the planet, refine your understanding of its highest invitation, and radiate it outward into your life.
Each planet has a corresponding precious and semi-precious gemstone. And as they are worn for very specific reasons, there is a prescribed way of wearing each stone, including the way in which the stone is set, the metal it must be set in, and the finger it is worn on. We recommend that each stone for Jyotish purposes is of at least two carats. And the deeper and clearer the stone, the stronger its potency.
The Vedic gemstones are to be set in such a way that the back is open, so the light may shine through the stone, and hit your skin directly beneath. The light activates the stone and is transmuted through the stone’s energy, moving into direct contact with you. As mentioned, each stone has a finger related to a planet, but there is also a difference between the right and left hands. Wearing a stone on the left hand is for more internal embodiment, while on the right generates a more outward experience.
The following is a list of each planet along with its stones and the finger they should be worn on:
Sun: Ruby or Garnet
Finger: Ring Finger
Setting: Yellow Gold
Moon: Pearl or Moonstone
Finger: Pinky
Setting: Silver or White Gold
Mars: Red Coral or Carnelian
Finger: Ring Finger
Setting: Yellow Gold
Mercury: Emerald or Jade
Finger: Pinky
Setting: Yellow Gold
Venus: Diamond or Clear Quartz
Finger: Middle
Setting: Platinum or Silver
Jupiter: Yellow Sapphire or Yellow Citrine

Saturn: Blue Sapphire or Amethyst
Finger: Middle
Setting: White Gold or Silver
Rahu: Hessonite or Agate (worn on the dispositor finger)*
Ketu: Cat’s Eye or Tiger’s Eye (worn on the dispositor finger)*
*As Rahu and Ketu do not have a finger associated with them, these stones can be worn on the finger of the planet whose sign they are placed in.
Vedic gemstones are a supremely supportive technology for the experience of unity and alignment with nature. They are used in harmony with one’s highest evolution and truly imbue the wearer with an elevated frequency. The Sattva Jyotish Gems are hand-dipped in the Mother Ganga, infused with its sacredness and divine intention.
