Crystals, Gemstones & Rudraksha
People buy these every day without being told what they are holding, what it should cost, or how it is faked. This page is the missing information — fifty-four crystals, the nine gemstones of jyotish, and rudraksha from one to twenty-one mukhi.
This page sells nothing. There is no shop link on it and no seller is recommended.
Nothing on this page is medical advice. No stone, gem or bead treats any illness. If you are unwell, see a doctor.

Three traditions, kept apart
A healing crystal, an astrological gemstone and a rudraksha come from three separate systems that are often sold together as though they were one. They are not, and knowing which is which is the first protection you have.
What is actually in your hand
Every entry separates three things: what the tradition says, what can be verified about the material, and what buyers are cheated on. Where sources disagree — and on rudraksha they disagree a great deal — both are shown.
