Gemstones
Vedic gemstones
Four stones for each of the nine grahas - the primary stone and its traditional substitutes. Every entry cites the text it comes from.
Classical jyotisha pairs each graha with a primary stone and a series of substitutes, usually because the primary is rare or costly. The lists below follow that ranking. What they are not is a recommendation: which stone suits a chart depends on the chart, and the same texts that prescribe a stone also warn against wearing it in certain conditions.
Looking for your sign rather than a planet? Most people search by rashi, not by graha. The by-rashi index maps each sign to its lord and that lord's stones. Gemstone by rashi →

Which stone is yours, free
The stone follows your lagna lord, not your sign - so it needs a birth time. See yours, its cheaper substitutes, and the cautions the texts attach.
