"Navaratna" is a Sanskrit term that translates to "nine gems" or "nine jewels" and can be used to refer to the most imporant scholars in an emperor's court, but it is often associated with a group of nine precious gemstones, each of which holds significance and is believed to bring specific benefits or attributes. The concept of Navaratna is particularly prominent in astrology, as it is believed that wearing them can bring good luck, protection, and various astrological benefits to the individual. People may wear a combination of these gemstones based on their birth chart or astrological recommendations.
