Red Coral — Rashi Ratna for Vrishchika (Scorpio) Baby

Enter your date of birth in the calculator above and we instantly show your zodiac sign and its lucky gemstone. Your birth date gives your Sun sign; for the exact Vedic Moon sign (Rashi) — which most astrologers use for the Rashi Ratna — also add your birth time and place using our free Kundli tool.

Yes. Use the date of birth to find your sign and its gemstone, and use the first letter of the name (from the birth Nakshatra) as a cross-check — a name chosen at the naamkaran usually starts with a syllable matching the Moon sign. Our Kundli tool combines birth date, time, place and name for the most accurate result.

A common traditional guide is: gemstone weight in ratti is roughly your body weight in kilograms divided by 12 (1 ratti is about 0.91 carat). Use the gemstone weight calculator on this page for an instant estimate in ratti, carats and grams. The final weight should be confirmed by an astrologer based on the planet's strength in your chart.

In Islamic tradition gemstones are usually chosen by day, planet or personal preference rather than a fixed birth-date chart. Popular stones include Aqeeq (agate), Firoza (turquoise), Yaqut (ruby), Zamurrud (emerald) and Durre-Najaf. Many families also wear a taweez engraved with the name of Allah for blessing and protection. See our short "Gemstones in Islam" section below.

A Rashi Ratna is the lucky gemstone linked to a baby's Moon sign (Rashi) in Vedic astrology. Each Rashi is ruled by a planet, and that planet's gemstone — for example Yellow Sapphire for Jupiter or Pearl for the Moon — is traditionally believed to support the child's well-being, calmness and good fortune.

The Rashi is the zodiac sign the Moon occupied at the exact moment of birth. If you already know it (often given at the naamkaran ceremony), just select it above. If not, use our free Janam Kundli tool with the baby's birth date, time and place to calculate the Rashi and Nakshatra precisely.

For infants, a gemstone is usually set in a small pendant, locket or bracelet rather than a ring, so it is safe and comfortable. Always choose a natural, certified stone, keep it securely fastened, and consult a paediatrician about anything worn by a baby.

Select your baby's Rashi above to see the recommended primary gemstone, a more affordable substitute (upratna), the ruling planet, lucky metal, day and colour, plus wearing guidance. The 12-Rashi table further down lists every sign and its stone at a glance.

No. This guide gives the general, Moon-sign-based birthstone. A precise recommendation considers the full birth chart (Lagna, planetary strengths and current dasha). Please consult a qualified astrologer before wearing a gemstone, and buy only lab-certified stones from a trusted gemologist.

In many Indian families a Raksha Kavach (protective amulet, taweez or nazar-battu) is lovingly tied on a newborn as a blessing — traditionally believed to guard the baby from buri nazar (the evil eye) and negative energy. It is a cultural and faith-based custom, worn alongside, never instead of, proper medical care.
