Summary of chapter 324 of the Agni Purāṇa is as follows:
The science of gemstones (ratnaśāstra) is expounded as a branch of both aesthetics and protective knowledge. Agni enumerates the nine principal gems (navaratna) — diamond (vajra), ruby (māṇikya), pearl (muktā), coral (pravāla), emerald (marakata), topaz (puṣparāga), sapphire (nīla), hessonite (gomeda), and cat's eye (vaiḍūrya) — and their presiding planets. For each gem, the chapter describes tests for genuineness versus flaws, the bodily and spiritual benefits of wearing a genuine stone set in the correct metal, and the dangers of a flawed stone. The rites for consecrating gems before wearing them are also prescribed.
