Sri Nava Ratna

There are nine foremost gems which are known as the Nava-ratna. This quote attributed to the Sanskrit `Brihat Jatak" or Vast Production, reads as follows:
Manikyam dinanayakasya vimalam muktaphalam shitagoh
maheyasya cha vidrumam marakatam saumyasya-garutmakam
devejyasya cha pushparagam sura-achryasya vajram shaneh
nilam nirmalamanyayoshcha gaditegomeda –vaiduryake
Translation: The Sun's gem is pure ruby, Moon is (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
maheyasya cha vidrumao nigaditah saumyasya garutmakam
devejyasya cha pushparagam asura-achryasya vajram shaneh
nilam nirmalamanyayoshchagaditegomeda-vaiduryake

Translation
1.Ruby for the Sun,
2.Pearl for the Moon,
3.Coral for Mars,
4.Emer ald for Mercury,
5.Yellow sapphire for Jupiter,
6.Diamond for Venus,
7.Blue sapphire for Saturn,
8.Hessonite for Rahu (the ascending node of the Moon)
9.Cat’s eye for Ketu (the descending node of the Moon), these gems must be high-born (top quality) and flawless

In this important sloka the words, "sujatyam-amalam" (sujati=high born, and amala=completely pure or Mess) are very significant. According to bona fide Vedic authority only clean top quality gems are considered to be auspicious.
