Amethyst Gemstone - 4.85 Carat

A single natural Amethyst (Jamunia) of 4.85 carat, about 5.33 ratti (at 1 ratti = 0.91 carat, a common trade measure). Each gemstone on Pandit.com is listed as an individual piece by weight, so you choose the exact stone you will receive. Selected under Pt. Rahul Kaushl.

Amethyst in Jyotish

Amethyst (Jamunia) is an upratna, a substitute stone, of Shani (Saturn). It is worn to strengthen Shani when that planet supports your chart, so it is chosen from the birth chart and not from the rashi alone. Read more on the Shani remedies page.

Amethyst is also widely used in modern crystal practice for calm and meditation. That use comes from modern practice rather than the classical Jyotish texts.

How Amethyst is traditionally worn

• Finger: the middle finger.
• Metal: silver.
• Day: Saturday, in Shukla Paksha, in the morning after bathing.
• Mantra: Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaischaraya Namah, chanted 108 times before wearing.

Before you buy

• Check that the planet of this stone supports your birth chart, ideally your lagna.
• Fix the weight with your astrologer. A clean stone of moderate weight is preferred over a large stone with heavy inclusions.
• For a stone matched to your chart, consult Pt. Rahul Kaushl.
