The Hindi Names for Precious Gemstones
Names of Important Precious and Semi Precious Gemstones/Birthstones, Gemstone Names Hindi There are so many people I have found who get confused when asking for gemstone (specially the Indian community). The general population in India buy gemstones for astrological/vedic use or as color therapy but I have found in 100's of occasions they not knowing the actual names of the precious and semi precious stones. I would hate for anyone looking to wear a birthstone out of faith or advice from an astrologer and later found its found out to be something that was not advised.
