Upratna, Substitute Gemstones for Every Planet
Upratna, also called substitute gemstones or semi-precious stones, are alternative gemstones that carry similar planetary energy to the main Navratna stones at a more accessible price. In Vedic astrology, Upratna are recommended when the main stone is out of budget or not suitable for the wearer.
All Upratna at GemsMantra are lab-tested and certified.
Upratna vs. Main Gemstone, What's the Difference?
| Main Stone (Navratna) | Upratna (Substitute) | Planet |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) | Citrine (Sunela) | Jupiter |
| Blue Sapphire (Neelam) | Amethyst / Blue Topaz | Saturn |
| Ruby (Manik) | Garnet (Tamira) | Sun |
| Emerald (Panna) | Green Tourmaline / Peridot | Mercury |
| Pearl (Moti) | Moonstone | Moon |
| Red Coral (Moonga) | Carnelian | Mars |
Upratna carry the same planetary energy as the main stone but are less intense, which makes them safer for those unsure about wearing the main Navratna stone. Use our Gemstone Calculator to find the right Upratna for your Rashi.
Upratna Price
Upratna are significantly more affordable than main Navratna stones. See our Gemstone Price Guide for current pricing across all Upratna.
These benefits are based on traditional Vedic beliefs. Individual experiences and results may vary.
