Which gemstone is lucky for Virgo rashi?

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and the tradition's primary stone for Mercury is Emerald (Panna). That association is the general rule; whether it suits your own chart depends on the lagna, which planets are functionally benefic for you, and the dasha you are running.

Can I wear a Virgo stone without a chart reading?

The honest answer is that a rashi-only match is a starting point rather than a recommendation. Classical selection strengthens a planet that needs strengthening, which is a whole-chart judgement - two people of the same rashi are routinely advised different stones.

Why does Virgo share stones with another sign?

Five of the seven classical grahas rule two signs each, so the sign pairs share a lord and therefore the same stones. Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, and so on - the stone follows the planet, not the sign.

Gemstone for Virgo Rashi - Emerald (Panna)

This maps your rashi to its ruling planet and that planet's traditional stones. It is a starting point, not a prescription: classical gem selection reads the whole chart - the lagna and its lord, which planets are functionally benefic for you, and the dasha you are running. Two people of the same rashi are routinely advised different stones for exactly that reason. Treat what follows as the tradition's general association, and get a chart read before buying anything.

Why the stone follows the planet

A rashi does not have a stone of its own. It has a lord, and the lord has stones - which is why Virgo and the other sign Mercuryrules share the same list, and why a “birthstone” table organised by month does not match this one at all.
