When it comes to buying natural gemstones for astrology or jewelry, one of the most important factors people look at is weight. Gemstones are measured in carats (international standard) and rattis (traditional Indian measure). Understanding the difference between the two—and how to select the right gemstone weight for your purpose—can make your purchase more meaningful and beneficial. At Luverra Gems, we guide our customers to choose the gemstone that perfectly matches their astrological needs.
📌 Difference Between Carat & Ratti
Carat (ct): A universal measurement used worldwide for gemstones and diamonds. 👉 1 Carat = 200 milligrams (0.2 grams). Ratti: An ancient Indian measurement system, widely used in Vedic astrology and gemstone trade. 👉 1 Ratti = approx. 0.91 Carat (182 mg).
⚖️ Conversion can vary slightly depending on local practices, but generally:
1 Ratti ≈ 0.91 Carat.
At Luverra Gems, we provide clear carat-to-ratti conversions so customers can buy confidently without confusion.
📌 Why Gemstone Weight Matters in Astrology
Astrologers often recommend gemstones based on weight (in rattis) because each planet requires a specific energy balance. Wearing the correct gemstone weight helps channel the planet’s positive influence effectively.
For example:
Ruby (Manik): Enhances Sun’s power – usually recommended 5 to 7 rattis. Emerald (Panna): Strengthens Mercury – 4 to 6 rattis. Blue Sapphire (Neelam): Balances Saturn – 4 to 7 rattis. Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj): Improves Jupiter’s blessings – 5 to 9 rattis. Hessonite (Gomed): Controls Rahu – 5 to 7 rattis.
At Luverra Gems, every gemstone is carefully weighed and certified to match astrological requirements.
📌 How to Choose the Right Gemstone Weight
Follow Astrological Guidance Always consult a qualified astrologer before buying, as the gemstone weight is often based on your body weight and horoscope. 👉 A common thumb rule: Gemstone (in rattis) = Body Weight (in kg) ÷ 12. Example: If you weigh 72 kg → 72 ÷ 12 = 6 rattis recommended. Luverra Gems offers free guidance on gemstone selection to match your astrological chart.
