onyx gemstone
Major gems related to Rahu planet
Introduction
Onyx gemstone is an important gemstone considered to be related to the planet Rahu in Vedic astrology. Its colour, luster and nature are associated with Rahu, illusion, ambition, foreign influence and unconventional growth.
Onyx is considered to be the gemstone of Rahu. Rahu is a shadow planet and is considered to be associated with ambition, technology, foreign connection, sudden rise, illusion, politics and unusual paths.
The purpose of wearing a gemstone is not to blindly strengthen the planet, but to balance the weak power of the auspicious planet in the horoscope. Therefore, Onyx gemstone should always be understood by looking at the individual horoscope, dasha, ascendant and planetary relationship.
Religious and astrological significance
Raahu ko paranpara mein vyakti ke jeevana ke kai sookshma pakshon ka kaaraka maana gaya hai. Gomeda ratna isi grah ki oorja ka prateeka maana jaata hai aur ise puja, mantra tatha sankalpa ke saatha dharan karne ki paranpara hai.
From a religious point of view, this gem is a medium of faith and discipline. From astrological point of view, it is considered useful only when Rahu is playing an auspicious role in the horoscope, but is weak, afflicted or weak in giving results.
If the planet is in an inauspicious role then the same gemstone can also be considered to increase problems. Therefore, it is not considered appropriate to wear a gemstone just by looking at the zodiac sign or on the basis of any general list.
While deciding on Onyx gemstone, it is considered more balanced to look at the birth ascendant, Moon ascendant, Navamsha, present condition and actual life situation of the person together.
Who should wear it?
People whose Rahu is auspicious and weak in their horoscope can consider wearing Onyx gemstone with the advice of a qualified astrologer.
- Rahu should be in auspicious house and is giving practical growth in its dasha.
- To balance Rahu in foreign work, technology, media, research, politics or unconventional career
- To channelize confusion, disorientation and scattered ambition, provided Rahu is auspicious
Final recommendation should be made only after examining Mahadasha, Antardasha, transit and Lagnesh/Yogakaraka position.
Who Should Avoid It?
Onyx gemstone is not considered suitable for every person. If Rahu in the horoscope is inauspicious, lethal, hindering or causing excessive suffering and giving difficult results, then one should avoid wearing it.
- Rahu is causing mental confusion, addiction, deception, court matter or sudden loss.
- In Moon-Rahu or Guru-Chandal Yoga without deep investigation.
- Only in greed for quick success.
If after wearing the gemstone you feel restlessness, anger, unusual dreams, health discomfort or constant obstruction, then it is better to remove it and consult an expert.
Benefits — As Per Tradition
The benefits given below are based on traditional beliefs. These should not be taken as definite results or guarantees.

Any benefit experienced is considered to be dependent on the person's karma, health, state of mind, planetary position and regular sadhana.
How to Wear
Generally, there is a tradition of wearing the Onyx gemstone in Panchdhatu/silver and wearing it in Madhyama on Saturday/Wednesday.
Before wearing, take bath, wear clean clothes, light a lamp in the place of worship and remember the concerned planet/deity. Take the gemstone in your right hand and resolve that you are wearing it for wisdom, balance and good deeds.
Do not wear the gemstone only as a fashion accessory. If it is in the form of astrological solution then keep Ratti, Dhatu, Finger and Time as per expert advice.

Weight / Ratti Guide
Onyx is generally said to be 5 to 8 Ratti, but Rahu is a sensitive planet, so decide the exact Ratti and suitability from the expert.
While determining Ratti, the formula of body weight alone is not considered sufficient. The strength, auspiciousness, condition, age, budget, natural quality and sensitivity of the person of the planet are also seen.
It is better to buy a certified, clean and natural quality gemstone of appropriate size than buying a big gemstone of low quality.
How to Identify Genuine Gemstone
- Onyx can be honey-brown to reddish-brown hessonite
- Heat-wave like inclusions may be visible inside
- Be careful of glass imitation and colored quartz
- Get natural hessonite garnet certificate
While buying the gemstone, be sure to get invoice, lab certificate, treatment disclosure and return policy. Do not rely solely on claims of “astrological guarantee” or very low prices.
Beware of Fake Gemstones
In many markets, synthetic, dyed, glass-filled, heated or imitation stones are sold as natural. Such stones may be beautiful to look at, but their value and traditional use is considered different.
Beware of fake certificates, sellers without addresses, huge discounts and claims like “100% guaranteed result”.
If you notice cracks, dullness, coating peeling off or unusual lightness in the gemstone, get it examined by an expert gemologist.
Gemstone Care
Protect the gemstone from strong chemicals, perfume, bleach, detergent and hard impact. Use soft cloth and lukewarm water for cleaning.
Check from time to time whether the setting of the gemstone is loose. If you remove the ring during puja or cleaning, keep it in a clean and safe box.
If the gemstone is cracked, has deep scratches, or appears to change color, seek advice before continuing with its astrological use.
Which Gemstones to Avoid Together?
Do not wear Onyx with pearl, ruby or topaz without advice. Rahu's relationships are very context-specific.
In gemstone combinations, the friendship and enmity of the planets as well as their functional role in the horoscope is seen. Therefore, it is not always better to wear multiple gemstones on the same hand.
If you are already wearing a gemstone, get the current combination reviewed before adding a new gemstone.
When Can Results Be Expected?
Onyx is considered to have strong and psychological effects. If it is not favorable, restlessness or confusion may increase.
The influence of gemstones is also seen in the tradition at the subtle, psychological and spiritual levels. Some people report quick changes, some do not experience any special experience.
Therefore, consider the gem by associating it with action, discipline, right decision and morality.
