In the vedic texts regarding application of gems for planets generally only the 9 gems ruby, natural pearl, red coral, emerald, yellow sapphire, diamond, blue sapphire, gomed and cats-eye are recommended for increasing planetary rays.

Before going into the main subject of this article it is important to discuss how gems transmit, reflect, and radiate different cosmic energies in order to properly prescribe them. Gems work on several levels.

Gems always increase planetary rays so we must be careful to give thought as to how such increases will affects a person1s life.
 
There has not been as readily an identifiable system through the ages for use of substitute gemstones in relation to increasing planetary rays as with the navaratnas (9 gems).

This avoids not only causing further pain and suffering to those they wish to help, but marring their own reputations in this life and the next.
