Do ancient scriptures like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra or Brighu Samhita or Brihajjatakam etc. say anything on wearing gemstones to increase the effect of a Planet?

Like we have:

  • Ruby for Sun
  • Pearl for Moon
  • Red Coral for Mars
  • Emerald for Mercury
  • Yellow Sapphire for Jupiter
  • Diamond for Venus
  • Blue Sapphire for Saturn
  • Hessonite for Rahu
  • Cat's Eye for Ketu

Apart from these, there are various stones which can be used as substitutes according to Astrology. So does any scripture mentions about them as a remedy to increase the effect of planets?

NOTE: I want answer from the perspective of Astrology

Refer the following Grantas (written in Sanskrit) to know about planetary gemstones:

  • Jataka Parijata by Vaidyanatha Dixita (Chapter-II Sloka-21).
  • Phala Deepika by Mantreswara (Chapter-II Sloka-29).

    Thank a lot for answering! Could you elaborate more like what ancient books say on effects after wearing the gemstones and substitutes of the gemstones. The slokas provided only give info regarding which stone corresponds to which graha.

  • @LSSJ Broly, here is my reply for your comment. No Granta (Astrology) advocates substitutes! Go only for original gemstones (Navaratna/नवरत्न)!! Please refer my answers on Quora Platform related to stones as given below:

  • Thanks sir. But Jataka Parijata is only saying which gemstone corresponds to which graha. I'm asking that which ancient books say to wear the gemstones for the planets. How much ratti, which finger, etc. are present in which book and how it is calculated? Is it a modern practice?

  • @LSSJ Broly, Jataka Parijata is good enough because it clearly says which gemstone corresponds to which planet. You definitely need basic knowledge in Palmistry which teaches about the fingers corresponding to planet. e-g., Index, Middle, ring, and little fingers corresponding to Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury, Moon and Mars, and Venus respectively. Regarding Ratti, based on size of fingers and depth of Dosha in the horoscope, you decide it in terms of carat(0.2 gram). You may suggest as lows as 1 carat and as high as 3 carat. Please know that there is no such granta (ancient books) available.
