For millennia mystics of the East have worn an ancient combination of nine gemstones known as Navaratna.
The nine gemstones are said to harness the power of planetary forces. Each gemstone relates to a specific planet and astrological sign(s).
They are a part of the ancient tradition of Vedic Astrology.
Together these gems create a powerful talisman that is said to attract good fortune and well-being.
The gemstones can be worn individually to attract the power of a specific planet into your life, whether it is your birth planet or a planet whose energy you want more of in your life.
About Vedic Astrology
