How to decide the weight (or size) of Astrological Gemstone
Gemstones are powerhouse of energies and astrology gives us a way to channelize this energy to work in our favor and bring good luck and fortune in our lives. Astrology precisely determines which gemstone suits a particular person based on the planetary positions.
The most perplexing question when you decide to wear an astrological gemstone is – what weight stone should you wear?
Nowhere in our scriptures it is mentioned about how to determine what weight stone should you should wear. Many astrologers mix different trends and methodologies to suggest weight of gemstone to their clients. The frequently observed trend is also to wear one ratti (carat) for every 12 kilogram of body weight. For example, at least 5 ratti (carat) for a 60 kg person (60 KG/12= 5 Ratti).
But there is a slight flaw in this rule because only weight is not important. There are other factors too. A better quality stone will give better results. And the above rule ignores the quality factor and only takes ‘weight’ into account.
Then what is the right size to wear?
When wearing a gemstone, the power of gem is most important factor. Only a powerful gemstone will give you the best results. The power of gem depends on its quality- transparency, color, clarity, luster and symmetry.
The size of the stone should be such that it is possible to make a skin-touching ring (or pendant). At the same time, it should be comfortable to wear, that means it should not be very big too. The optimum size, is hence, determined by ‘YOU’ and this liberty is given to you by the ancient scriptures on which Vedic astrology is based.You need an astrologer to suggest the correct gemstone. After that you should decide the size (weight) of gemstone by yourself.
Recall the very common dilemma about ‘How much Prasad should be offered to the God’? Because this case of offering Prasad is also governed by the factors of ‘Kaal, Desh and Patra’. For example, in earlier times, sawa (.25) was considered auspicious figure, so the Prasad was offered in the denomination of Rs 1.25, Rs2.25 etc. but in current time, we understand that these denomination has no value. Hence, prasad is offered as per current denomination (Kaal) of particular country (Desh) as per the capacity of the individual (Patra). Similar rules applies for the question ‘what weight of gemstone to be worn’.
The most popular sizes of different astrological gemstones that are worn by the people are given as follows:
- Ruby (Manik) : 5 Ratti - 8.50 Ratti
- Pearl : 6 Ratti -10 Ratti
- Coral (Moonga) : 7.00 Ratti - 9 Ratti
- Emerald (Panna) : 4:50 Ratti - 6:50 Ratti
- Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) : 5 Ratti - 7.50 Ratti
- Opal : 6 Ratti - 9 Ratti
- White Sapphire : 5.00 Ratti - 9.00 Ratti
- Blue Sapphire (Neelam) : 5 Ratti - 7:50 Ratti
Wearing any more weight would not be extra beneficial. There are different reasons- why these weight ranges are more preferred. Like Emerald of this size range is preferred because Emerald is worn in the little finger and Emerald is a light stone. Wearing an emerald of size bigger than 6.50 Ratti is uncomfortable and it may look over sized too. In current times, big sized gemstones are misfit for corporate life and hence it is preferable to wear small sized gemstones but of good quality.

Hi,
I don’t know if a sapphire gemstone is recommended to be astrologically. But I wanted to know if it would be harmful if a wear a ring with 4 sapphire stones with a total weight of 0.72 ct
PP Sapphire stones are both worn astrologically as well as for jewellery purposes. Wearing the ring that you have described will be a jewellery ring and not an astrological ring. Thus, there will be harmful or negative effects.
