And when it comes to gemstones, it doesn\u2019t get better than the famed <\/span>\u2018Navratna\u2019<\/i><\/b>. This word comes from Sanskrit and translates to<\/span> \u2018Nine Gems\u2019<\/b>. The nine gems (or stones) are each believed to represent the \u2018navgrah\u2019, which are the 9 planetary forces that influence our lives according to Vedic Astrology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u2018Navratna stones\u2019<\/b> is a collective name for 9 different gemstones that are each associated with a specific planet in Vedic Astrology. Together, these planets aim to balance the planetary energies in an individual\u2019s horoscope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
