How zodiac gemstones are chosen
Two systems overlap in Pakistan. The Western birthstone list assigns one stone to each calendar month (garnet for January through turquoise for December). The Vedic / planetary system used by most astrologers here assigns stones to the nine planets — ruby to the Sun, pearl to the Moon, red coral to Mars, emerald to Mercury, yellow sapphire to Jupiter, diamond or opal to Venus, blue sapphire to Saturn, hessonite to Rahu and cat's eye to Ketu — and recommends a stone based on your birth chart rather than your Sun sign alone. Use the sign pages as a starting point and confirm the exact stone, weight and finger with a qualified astrologer.
Rules that apply to every sign
- Only natural, untreated (or at most heated) stones are used for astrological purposes; glass and synthetic stones are not.
- The stone should touch the skin, so open-back rings and pendants are preferred.
- Weight is prescribed in ratti or carats — see the ratti to carat conversion — and every GemStore.pk listing states the exact carat weight.
- Ask for the lab certificate when you order; it names the mineral and any treatment.
