Lucky Birth Stones
(The Great Sage) Sri Suta Goswami, said the following words in the ancient Garuda-puranam, chap 70, regarding the dawn of creation:

There are nine foremost gems which are known as the Nava-ratna. This quote attributed to the Sanskrit "Brihat Jatak" or Vast Production, read as follows:

" Manikyam dinanayakasya vimalam muktaphalam shitagoh maheyasya cha vidrumam marakatam saumayasa-garutmakam devejyasya cha pushparagam sura-achryasya vajram shaneh nilam nirmalamanyayoshcha gadite gomeda-vaiduryake."

Translation: The Sun's gem is pure ruby, Moon (natural) pearl, Mars is red coral, Mercury is emerald, Jupiter is yellow sapphire, Venus is diamond, Saturn is blue sapphire, Rahu is hessonite and Ketu is cat's eye.

A slightly different version of this ancient Sanskrit verse is also quoted in the "Mani-mala" page 575, verse 79 by S.M. Tagore (1879), and also in the ancient "Jataka Parijata", chap. 2, sloka 21 compiled by Sri Vaidyanatha Dikshitar (son of Venkata-dhari) and reads in Sanskrit as follows:

" Manikyam taraneh sujatyamamalam muktaphalam shitagoh maheyasaya cha vidrumao nigaditah saumyasya-garutmakam devejyasya cha pushparagam asura-achryasya vajram shaneh nilam nirmalamanyayoshcha gadite gomeda-vaiduryake."

Translation:
  • Ruby for Sun,
  • Pearl for  Moon
  • Coral for Mars,
  • Emerald for Mercury,
  • Yellow sapphire for Jupiter,
  • Diamond for Venus,
  • Blue sapphire for Saturn,
  • Hessonite for Rahu (the ascending node of the Moon),
  • Cat's eye for Ketu (the decendig node of the Moon), these gems mush be high-born (top quality) and flawless.
In this important sloka the words, "sujatyam-amalam" (sujati-high born, and amala=completely pure of flawless) are very significant. According to bona fide Vedic authority only clean top quality gems are consideree to be auspicious.

To further support this important yet oftenly over-looked  words I would like to cite the following slokas from the auspicious
 "Garuda Puranam," chap. 68, verse 17 it is stated by Sri Suta Goswami,

"Pure, flawless gems have auspicious powers which can protect one from demons, snakes, poisons, diseases, sinful reactions, and other dangers, while flawed stones have the opposite affect."

Again i will cite a sloka from the ancient "Agni Puranam" chap. 246, slokas 7 & 8;

"A gem free from all impurities and radiating its characteristic intennal luster should be loked upon as an escort of good luck; A gem which is cracked, fissured, devoid of luster, or appearing rouch or sandy, should not be used at all."

The example reffered above can often be found many a times  in the chapters of Sri Garuda Puranam, such as this quote on rubles by Sri Suta Goswami, boring the same meesage. the below is the example of such:

"A ruby, although genuine, should not be worn if it has strong color banding, excessive inclusions whithing like numerous internal crakcks, a sandy appearance, a rough surface, or is dull and lusterless. Anyone using such a flawed ruby, even out of ignorance will suffer from disease or loss of fortune."

All these nine gems are considered equally sacred, differing in the degree of their influence on the life of an individual as per their ruling planets and the horrorscope in concern. In essence the table of Asian Birth Stones is as follows:
