Following are the Gemstones relating to the nine planets or NavaGraha

Ruby (Manik) : This is the Gemstone that belongs to the Sun which is considered as ruler of all the planets. It's colour varies from light pink to mystical deep red colour. If suited it can render very good results to the native including success in professional matters, fame, reputation and overall status. Medically it increases Immunity and Vitality among other benefits. On the other hand it can create serious physical problems and diseases among other problems if it is not suited. It is generally worn on the Ring Finger or the Index Finger.

Pearl (Moti) : This Gemstone belongs to the Moon which is considered Queen or Mother of all the planets. Pearls are formed in shellfish especially oysters and mussels. It varies in colour from white to a hint of pink, blue and even black. If suited it blesses the native with happiness, luxury, good mental health among other benefits. It is usually worn on the Ring Finger, the Little finger or the Index Finger.

Yellow Sapphire (PukhRaj) : This Gemstone belongs to Jupiter. It varies in colour from light yellow to deep yellow. If suited it blesses the native with wealth, prosperity, good memory among other things. It is generally worn on the Index finger or the Ring finger.

Diamond (Heera) : This Gemstone belongs to Venus. It is usually colourless and if suited it blesses the wearer with luxuries, comforts, charming personality and happiness among other things.Since Diamond is a very costly gemstone, White Sapphire is commonly used as a substitute gemstone for Diamond. It is generally worn on the Middle finger or the Little finger.

Red Coral (Moonga) : Red Coral belongs to Mars. It is made of skeletal remains of some marine animals. It varies in colour from red to vermilion to pink and sometimes even white. If suited it blesses the native with strength, courage, good friends, good houses among other things.It is generally worn on the Ring finger or the Index finger.

Emerald (Panna) : This gemstone belongs to Mercury. It varies in colour from light to dark green. If suited it blesses the native with good communication skills, business, good health and memory among other things. It is generally worn on the Little finger or the Middle Finger.

Blue Sapphire ( Neelam) : The most enticing, the most mysterious, the most feared, and perhaps the most effective of all the Gemstones belongs to none other than Saturn. So many bad things have been spread about this Gemstone that common people do not even dream of wearing it. But if suited it can turn your whole life much more faster than any other Gemstone. It varies in colour from light blue to deep blue. This gemstone can bless you with wealth, health, luxury and so many other good things. But it can be very destructive if not suited to a native.It is generally worn on the Middle finger or the Little Finger.

Hessonite (Gomed) : This gemstone belongs to Rahu (North Node) and varies in colour from light honey colour to dark honey colour. If suited it can bring sudden fortunes like winning of lotteries and instant successes in stock market to the wearer. But it can be a great disaster if not suited. It can cause ulcers, tumors, cancers, madness among other things. And in my experience it is not suitable for at least 70 to 80 percent of people. So be very careful while wearing this Gemstone and monitor its effects closely for some days and weeks even if it is prescribed to you by some expert Astrologer, and in case you find some unusual things like sudden misfortunes, sudden diseases, extreme short temperedness and insomnia, take it off. It is generally worn on the Middle finger or the Little finger.

Cat's Eye (Lahsuniya) : This gemstone belongs to Ketu (North Node) and it can vary in so many colours from green to yellow to brown. It has a moving white line across the gemstone which gives the effect of a Cat's Eye. This gemstone if suited usually helps in Career, Business, Spiritualism, Meditation among other things. But again, like Hessonite, this gemstone is also not suitable for 70 to 80 percent of people and can be as disastrous as Hessonite. So be careful wearing it.It is generally worn on the Middle finger or the Little finger.
