|
A Nava Ratna ring set with nine perfect gems. In the
center is a flawless (loupe clean) "red lotus" colored
Burmese ruby surrounded (clockwise from the top) by flawless diamond,
flawless "natural" pearl, flawless red coral, flawless
hessonite, flawless blue sapphire, flawless cat's eye, flawless
yellow sapphire, and flawless emerald
Reference
to the 9 gems is taken from "Jataka Parijata," chap.
2, sloka 21 compiled by Sri Vaidyanatha Dikshitar (son of Venkata-dhari),
and reads in Sanskrit as follows:
Manikyam
taraneh sujatyamamalam muktaphalam shitagoh
maheyasya cha vidrumao nigaditah saumyasya-garutmakam
devejyasya cha pushparagam asura-achryasya vajram
shaneh nilam nirmalamanyayoshcha gadite gomeda-vaiduryake
Translation:
1) Ruby for the Sun, 2) Pearl for the Moon, 3) Coral for Mars, 4)
Emerald for Mercury, 5) Yellow sapphire for Jupiter, 6) Diamond
for Venus, 7) Blue sapphire for Saturn, 8) Hessonite for Rahu
(the ascending node of the Moon) 9) Cat's eye for Ketu (the descending
node of the Moon), (these gems) must be high-born (top quality)
and flawless
In this important sloka the words, "sujatyam-amalam" (sujati=high
born, and amala=completely pure or flawless) are very significant.
According to bona fide Vedic authority only clean top quality
gems are considered to be auspicious.

Planetary gemology is based upon the ancient "Sidereal" system of astrology
that has prevailed untampered in the Orient for thousands of years.
Unlike the Western system, which is based upon the relative positions
of sun and earth, Sidereal astrology is calculated according to
the fixed positions of stellar constellations beyond the solar system.
Experience has proven the Sidereal system to be far more accurate
and incisive than the Western method in determining the astral forces
at work in an individual horoscope.
